Smart Essentials 6-Piece Glass Mixing Bowl Set,1.5 quarts Made in the USA

I debated for a long time, but I love glass and I love being able to store them in the fridge with a lid that matches. I can't stand when people put food in the fridge without covering it. (Especially you have roommates and and you don't know what is going bad in there!) Now that I have these, I use them to store leftovers all the time. I also use them for what they are named for. The smaller sizes are also perfect for keeping on the counter with chopped up veggies to put in to the bigger bowl/pot/pan. I make guacamole every other week and the 2.5 quart is a perfect size for mixing, mashing, and then storing away. The Good: 1. They clean very well and I usually wash them in the top rack of the dishwasher. If they held something for a while and got crusty, then I usually just give them a light scrub and then pop them in the dishwasher. This was one of the main reasons why I got them in glass. 2. They are also very sturdy. I don't feel wary of dropping them and don't feel worried when they hit other items in the sink. Of course, since they are glass, you would never want to drop them. However, Pyrex is known to be a good brand in terms of durability! 3. The lids fit very tightly over the top and storing these three are very easy and 4. don't take up too much space because you can fit them all in the biggest bowl in order of size. The Bad: I can't think of anything negative to say about them! (I've had these for a while now, and was waiting to write up a review so I could give a more accurate and honest opinion.)

This is exactly what I needed for my main set of mixing bowls - they nest and have great fitting and colorful lids. Plus, they are not too heavy at all, but yet obviously sturdy. And I love the lip around the top edge of the bowls, as they make it easier to carry or lift with pot holders. I use to have the old colored design Pyrex bowls, but they were quite heavy. I currently have sturdy plastic nesting bowls but they have their downfalls. This clear glass set is far superior in so many ways. They don't stain or hold a smell, you can watch what you are cooking w/o taking off the lid, and they are great for using a hand held mixer. And when I use them for storing left overs in the fridge, I will be able to see what is in them! Plus I can use them in the oven as well as the microwave. I imagine I will make A LOT of use of these for years to come.

We've had these pyrex bowls for seven years and counting. We constantly use them for mixing, freezing, and microwaving (without the lids), and they're in almost-perfect condition still. I've left them in the sink crusted with food for longer than I'd care to admit, and they've never picked up any lasting stains or smells. If I'm being picky, the lids have warped slightly but not enough to impact functionality. The range of sizes works well for our household of two.

I am a lazy bachelor. There, I said it. I have a complete set of dinnerware at home but my favorite kitchenware is a 1 qt. Pyrex bowl. I call it my "dog bowl" because I use it for everything; I eat cereal and milk out of it. Also, soups, stews, popcorn, you name it. Pyrex is the best because you can nuke it or heat it in the oven. Well, my old one is getting scratched and worn so I invested in the Pyrex Smart Essentials 6-Piece Mixing Bowl Set. Best investment I ever made! It came in a sturdy, heavy-duty cardboard box. I always wanted more sizes and now I also have 1.5 and 2.5 qt. bowls in addition to a new 1 qt. bowl. I have lids for them that fit nicely and each bowl has a nice lip which makes it easy to pick up when hot. A pleasant bonus is that they are not only made in the USA, they're made in my home state! My only "complaint" is that I should have bought the 8-piece set that includes the 4 qt. bowl and lid!

Good range of sizes, with lids that prove useful for leftover storage. Lips on bowls are a mixed blessing: in some situations, I prefer a indentation for use in pouring rather than a solid lip all the way around. The lips is handy, however, for picking it up with wet, slippery hands. Plus providing something for the lid to grasp. Good value here.

I needed new mixing bowls and decided to purchase glass bowls with lids due to their versatility. Example---no, you can't put metal bowls in the microwave, although I may purchase metal mixing bowls in the future. The bowls are quite thick and I like the size range, giving I am cooking only for myself. I don't need giant bowels to mix things for a large family. I use these on virtually a daily basis. They clean up easily and I can't find anything to be disappointed about. Lids are cheery colors! Item could be used as a gift for someone who is starting their own kitchen. Nothing luxurious, but a basic necessity if you are going to cook!

2nd set purchased as the middle size bowl & lid were destroyed in a house fire earlier this month. Right sizes for most everyday kitchen use.

These bowls are great for cooking and great for mixing. I love them for being able to store whatever Im making in them. I think they also seem to use better lids. Before some of the pyrex lids would become brittle after washing. These dont which Im glad for. I also do suggest, as usual, to not put them with the lids completely sealed after washing as sometimes it seems like a pressurized environment forms inside making it hard to open and probably leading to why my other ones could become brittle or break upon opening. In any case, great strong Pyrex mixing bowls that dont mold or bend like the metal ones that people love to use.

Muy buena calidad de vidrio. Y las tapas son muy prácticas. Tambien me gustaron todos los tamaños.

Love these bowls and bonus, with lids!! Use them all the time!

Heavy duty, good quality, and definitely worth a buy. The lids are nice if you made a salad or made too much pancake batter etc. No complaints from me.

Very practical and useful, the best!

My daughter gave these to a really good friend of hers who just moved into an apartment of her own. She is quite the baker so loves and appreciates this gift. I personally like the different colour lids. This gift was very affordable. You can’t go wrong with this purchase.
