This Le Creuset product is, in fact, a set of measuring cups. The set measures 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup and 1 cup, so you can imagine the size of these cups - They are small.

The product is well-made, with the exception that silicone will absorb food smell. I am not sure why, but all my Le Creuset silicone products (e.g. bakeware) do absorb food odor (but the smell does eventually go away).

Much smaller than I anticipated but they look great! This was do to the fact I was looking for more of a mixing bowl rather than a "prep" bowl. Now that I have learned what a prep bowl is I can see its usefulness! Haha

On a side note Shipping from this place is very slow.

Mine are used every day, replacing my hard measuring cups for most uses. They are relatively thick silicone but still quite flexible, so it's easy to scrape or pour food out of them, they stack in little space, are easy to clean, and are very lightweight. I monitor portion sizes and use them to measure any food that fits in a round container, such as corn, beans, peas, coleslaw, potato salad, etc. Besides being useful as prep bowls, they are great for dips as they are easy to scrape with a chip or cracker. I also use the larger ones to defrost frozen berries in the microwave to pour over ice cream or yogurt. When taking my several vitamin pills out of their bottles each day, I drop them in one of these and the pills don't bounce off and fall on the floor where it's hard to find them. Very practical.

Not only do I use these for cook prep and measuring of certain ingredients, they come in very handy when feeding small finger food to my toddler granddaughters. They can handle them easily, they can set them down on my granite countertops without fear of them chipping/cracking, plus are just the right size for little hands. Happy with this purchase.

They are silicone made, so are flexible.
They have size indicator at the bottom, so you know which one is 1, 1/2, 1/3 and 1/4 cup (this one very small - only fits an egg).
Colorful and nice looking.
Although they are in Mixing Bowls category, they are not... they are not bigger than an adult hand.
But for measuring purposes, very good and looks beautiful! Being flexible helps to don't make a mass when transferring ingredients.

These mini bowls are absolutely adorable and very practical. They are worth every cent which by the way was very reasonable. I ordered this item not knowing what to expect, and much to my delight I was quite content with my purchse. They are especially helpful when you have small quantities to prepare or mix. They are also perfect for putting extra condiments on the table. I would recommend them to anyone who's interested in acquiring yet another Le Creuset item like moi.

These bowls have been great. They are easy to use, easy to clean, and pour well. The variety of sizes works well for most recipes, and the color coding is helpful in choosing the correct one when in a hurry. I will probably order another set soon, as unfortunately there are not enough of them for recipes with more than a few ingredients.

I am an everyday cook and have been for 40 years. I bought these little bowls thinking they would be very useful in prep work. Come to find out, they are all much too small with the exception of the largest one cup size. If they are too small for the preps for 2 people I imagine they would be utterly useless to anyone else. They are pretty, and they stack together nicely, but each size needs to be twice as big to work.

Bought this as a gift for a hope chest... they are cute little bowls that I'm sure would be loved by anyone that needs to measure- very "cooking show-ish"!

These tiny pinch bowls are exactly what I need when cooking my favorite Indian dishes. (They are very small and flexible. They actually make the doling out of copious amounts of spices a pretty efficient process. Plus they're cute. And I love that they are plain white.
