5.0 out of 5 stars How ingenious, I really like these little measuring bowls, April 29, 2006

This review is from: Mario Batali 5-Piece Measuring Prep Bowl Set, Persimmon (Kitchen)

What a brilliant idea! Measuring bowls that can be used for two different measurements each. Why didn't someone think of this sooner? These work easily with an obvious line in the bowls interior that is the 50% measure.

If you love to bake, which requires a lot of measuring. You will love these bowls. There is nothing worse than being in the middle of measuring ingredients for baking and being interrupted. If you use these bowls to measure the incremental ingredients you will never have to remeasure again.

These bowls are dishwasher safe and also clean up easily if you hand wash them. I have two sets of these because they are so useful, and because I do so much baking.

The sizes of these bowls are as follows:
1/8 and 1/4 cup
1/4 and 1/2 cup
1/2 and 1 cup
3/4 and 1 1/2 cups
1 and 2 cups.

If you love to bake, or you like to measure prior to cooking (mise en place) you will love these bowls. I highly recommend this product.

4.0 out of 5 stars NOT MICROWAVE SAFE!, October 22, 2007

This review is from: Mario Batali 5-Piece Measuring Prep Bowl Set, Persimmon (Kitchen)

These bowls are very convenient for mixing small quantities of sauces, salad dressings, etc., or for recipe mise en place.

These are NOT NOT NOT microwave safe, though, as I learned the hard way. These bowls get VERY hot VERY quickly in the microwave, and in no time they will melt/explode and make your entire kitchen smell like toxic plastic.

As long as you keep them out of the microwave they're great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exellent quality prep bowls, January 30, 2006

This review is from: Mario Batali 5-Piece Measuring Prep Bowl Set, Persimmon (Kitchen)

On tv all of the celebrity chefs always have a ton of prep bowls. They make cooking look easy and fun. Have you noticed that their prep bowls do not have measurements? These do. In fact each bowl has two measurements. It marks halfway into the bowl, and then gives you the full bowl measurement.

These making cooking a snap, because the bowls can be used for multiple uses. You can easily chop your way through everything and put together a stew, chili, or just about anything with these. I also like that they are non breakable. This is another plus over the glass prep bowls we always see. They are also dishwasher safe too, so no worry there.

I fell in love with my set very quickly and enjoy them a great deal. I reach for these whenever I have a lot of chopping and cooking to do. A highly recommended item to purchase from this cooking lover!
