    Pyrex doesn’t need a review–it’s great stuff. Non-pourous so it doesn’t soak up tastes and smells that can never be washed out. Tough and beautiful, Pyrex does it all.

    So the bowls are a no brainer, but why buy these instead of others. The tops of course are the difference. I’ve found that most Pyrex bowls with tops I had looked at didn’t fit on their bowls very well or were made out of materials which didn’t seem like they would outlast me–as they should. These tops are durable, make a good seal that wont pop off or leak. And they’re labeled with the various volumes of the bowls.

    The size range of the set is also very good–from one the size of a cereal bowl to one large enough for a pot-luck salad without being so big that it wouldn’t fit in a kitchen cabinet–and they all fit inside each other without the smaller ones rising above the rims of the larger ones.

    You can put all the bowls inside each other then close them all up with the largest top–with enough room to put paper towels between each bowl and the next for safety.

    This review is from: Pyrex Prepware 3-Piece Mixing Bowl Set, Clear (Kitchen)
    If you need some wide, shallow mixing bowls, these are a nice choice. Their design is attractive and basic, and you know the benefits of Pyrex. Before buying, you should consider stainless steel instead, as it is lighter (these are a bit heavy) and won’t explode into sharp bits if you drop it on your tile floor. Also, bear in mind that these bowls are shallow, so if you are a messy mixer (or use an electric mixer or a fast whisk), you may end up slopping ingredients out over the side.

    Their wide shape and clear material lets them do double duty as informal serving bowls, which a true (high sided) mixing bowl doesn’t do very well.

    In short, these are nice to have around for certain uses, but choose high-sided stainless steel bowls as your main set.
