Amazon.com Review
Glass is one of the best materials there is for mixing and storing food. Why? Because it doesn't pick up odors or tastes and so doesn't transfer any "extra" taste to your foods. Pyrex glass is especially desirable, as it's constructed to be durable and is safe to use in the oven, microwave, freezer, and dishwasher. Pyrex has been making quality glass products for the better part of a century--this company pioneered heat- and cold-resistant glassware--so when it comes to glass, they know whereof they speak. Keep wet and dry ingredients separated in these three bowls while you mix and bake, then store leftover cookie dough in one of them when you're done. The set costs less than your average music CD--not a bad deal considering the quality--and, if you're moderately careful, it will last you a lifetime. Bowls stack for easy storage. --Meg Heffernan

Customer Reviews

Nice, cheap, and shallow
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.

Great bowls!
I've had these for about 14 years and I'm still using them. I can't use them to serve anymore because they scratch rather easily and look awful, but they're still on the mixing job. I've used them so much that they're needing replaced now but I really like being able to see through the bowl to make sure all the batter has been mixed thoroughly. It's just one of those things everyone should have in their cabinet to make life easier.

Great
I have become increasingly fond of glass items in the kitchen. I have purchased glass lids for many of my pots, etc. I prefer to see what is happening during mixing and cooking. Current glass, including Pyrex, is very durable; I have never broken a piece.

These bowls work brilliantly for myriad uses. They go into the oven, microwave, and fridge with aplomb.

PS

I like also the set of small Pyrex bowls, often seen on cooking shows, to hold spices, diced veggies, etc during preparation. These are also available on Amazon.
