Product Description

Size: 8-Piece

Ever conscious of the space restrictions imposed by modern urban living the Nest Food Preparation set offers multi-use, but takes up only minimal space in the kitchen. The Nesting 8-piece set is comprised of a large blue 4-1/2-liter mixing bowl with non-slip bottom and helper handles, a light green small 1/2-liter mixing bowl with measurements included on the inside, a blue colander, a sieve and a 4-piece multi-colored measuring cup set. All 5 components nest together.

1.0 out of 5 stars Good Form, Bad Function April 22, 2009
Size Name:8-Piece
Ok... let me preface this rant by explaining that I'm a graphic designer and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE good design. I will give praise to any well-designed object that seamlessly combines form and function.

These bowls are deceiving, overpriced, and of horrible quality.

I love to cook, and by now I know what products will last in my kitchen and what won't. I was so ecstatic when these bowls arrived in the mail... until I opened it. Part of it was my fault- I didn't read the description thoroughly and immediately expected a $50 set of bowls and gadgets to also be perfectly functional and to last me a lifetime- made out of melamine, or something much more durable than cheap plastic (think $5 set of bowls from Wal-Mart) that can't be microwaved. The small wire sieve is all plastic, and the mesh is made out of something like fishing wire! I was expecting metal, instead of a material that would stretch and tear after one use. I returned it the next day. Go to Williams Sonoma, or any other reputable kitchen store and buy yourself high-quality items separately for the same price.

PS. I have a joseph joseph chop-to-pot cutting board, and I love it. I think that's why I immediately assumed this nest set would be a godsend.

1.0 out of 5 stars All style, no substance October 31, 2009
Size Name:8-Piece|Amazon Verified Purchase
From reading the reviews, I knew that the sieve would be flimsy but the rest of the set was supposed to be dishwasher-safe. I put the small green bowl in the top rack of my dishwasher but the colander only fit in the bottom rack; the bowl is fine, but the colander is now noticeably warped on one side. (Incidentally, I have a set of nesting bowls I bought from Ikea a decade ago and they still look great, despite having gone through the dishwasher countless times. And they only cost a tenth of this set.)

The other issue is one I didn't discover until I tried using the measuring cups for the first time. When I'm baking, I like to run a knife across the top of the measuring cup to make sure I'm measuring ingredients as precisely as possible. That's only doable with the smallest measuring cups because the others are countersunk, so that the handles allow them to nest properly in the set.

The set looked gorgeous when I first took it out of the box, but it turned out to be a real disappointment. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to give less than one star otherwise I'd give it zero. As far as I'm concerned, this was a complete and utter waste of money.

1.0 out of 5 stars looks good but not practical January 11, 2010
By Pen
Size Name:8-Piece
I was given this attractive set and I really love the concept. It contains everything I need for cooking - small and large mixing bowls (the smaller one also has measuring marks) 2 kinds of strainers and a set of measuring cups. Because space is very limited in our house I love the way they stack up. However, the first thing my husband did was to strain pasta through the nylon sieve and so it shrank meaning that nothing stacked up nicely any more. Because I need the bigger items far more often then the measuring cups, the cups just ended up getting in the way. I would have loved the option of hanging them but the smallest cup does not have a loop in the handle like the other cups do. I ended up putting them in the toy box.
The other thing that really bothers me is that none of it is microwavable.
I think it is a very beautiful looking set but I wish they had put a little more thought into the functional aspect.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for minimalist kitchen November 4, 2012
Size Name:9-Piece
Joseph Joseph products are obviously created with utmost care in design. Many times those new designs aren't time-tested so they just look good but not too practical.
This one actually works. We have a small cottage with a tiny kitchen. It's an IKEA kitchen with limited space. And we are not there all the time so I just needed one good set of something to do cooking or baking. This was a good choice. I read a lot of bad reviews on previous models (7 piece/ 8 piece) so I waited till this one became available.
The sieve that was in the previous model was plastic and flimsy. This one is make of metal mesh so it's a lot sturdier.
The skid-proof on the bottom of the bowl was good, too.
When we made pancake breakfast, it worked out perfectly.
I don't think it's for rough usage.
I love it when I can click everything into one tidy package.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful and Practical! July 16, 2010
By MS
Size Name:8-Piece
It seems that the negative reviews are from people who are irrationally furious because this set doesn't provide certain functions (like being microwaveable) that it never claimed it could. If they wanted microwaveable bowls, why didn't they buy them? This set has a lovely practical design, is fully functional for mixing and storing, and is completely satisfactory.Moreover, it looks good. The colors are crisp and bright. The plastic is of good quality. I'm glad to have a set in my kitchen, and recently bought another as a wedding present.

5.0 out of 5 stars great for this casual cook with little extra space December 29, 2010
Size Name:8-Piece|Amazon Verified Purchase
I don't disagree with any of the other reviewers, but I have to say that this set has become my go-to for daily cooking.
- the lightweight bowls are easy on my wrists
- blue mixing bowl is quite big and deep, which is very useful
- the nesting means much less space taken up in an already small kitchen
- all the pieces have been through my dishwasher with no issue so far
- I use my pyrex prep bowls if I need to nuke an ingredient, so that's not an issue for me
- love the color coding aspect of the set (makes it easier to reach for the right piece on the first try)
