The best for prep bowls, March 18, 2011
This review is from: Luminarc Stackable Bowl 21pc BPA-Free (Kitchen)
This purchase from Amazon was actually my second set of these bowls. I got the first years ago, and have been looking for more of the lids (the bowls are easy to find) for quite some time. They're fantastic:
- Tempered glass, so they will "pebble" instead of shard (I broke a large bowl in the dishpan a few years back, and became an instant fan)
- Rim design lets you stack them hot out of the dishwasher - they won't get stuck together as they contract and cool
- Lids are polyethylene, not PVC or something worse
- Table to fridge to freezer with no hassles (also microwavable on low, but the lack of a handle makes me reluctant to do this)
This set contains:
- three 2.6 oz ("pinch" bowls)
- one 4.9 oz
- one 7.4 oz
- two 12.2 oz w/lids
- two 20.6 oz w/lids
- one 1.2 qt w/lid
- one 2.0 qt w/lid
- one 3.0 qt w/lid
- one 4.5 qt w/lid
(translate all that to metric and it makes more sense). The lack of a lid for the smaller bowls is intentional - the plastic is a bit stiff, and the small bowls don't really have enough leverage to put a lid on and off. However, the next size bowl up or down (turned over) makes an excellent lid for the smaller bowls, and I do this all the time.
I ordered the package with a bit of trepidation, since several other kitchen favorites I ordered more of from Amazon are now made in China. I'm pleased to report that the lids from this set are made in France, and the glass bowls are made in the USA. Hallelujah.

fabulous alternative to plastic containers, August 19, 2011
This review is from: Luminarc Stackable Bowl 21pc BPA-Free (Kitchen)
These bowls are classic, lightweight and well-made. The glass, though tempered, is pretty hardy and the sizes are perfect for leftovers and serving family-style portions at dinner parties. The lids are very secure and air-tight. I mainly use the larger bowls for storage and the lidless, tiny bowls for spices and salt at the table. Though I don't use the smaller sized bowls as often, it is nice to have them in this set. This is an excellently priced, high-quality product that I have been personally recommending to friends and family.

Love these bowls!, May 18, 2011

We moved to a house and are having more gatherings. We needed more bowls to serve things in. This set is great! I'm really happy with the sizes of the bowls and that they have airtight lids. I would recommend this as a housewarming present or perhaps to replace your old bowl set!
