Doesn't "Seal in Freshness", December 9, 2005
This review is from: OXO Good Grips 4-Piece Prep Bowl Set with Lids (Kitchen)
Nicely designed containers (though smaller than I thought they would be). However, while they do have covers, there is a small spout that is not closed up with the cover.

Superb set of mixing/prep bowls., March 23, 2006
This review is from: OXO Good Grips 4-Piece Prep Bowl Set with Lids (Kitchen)
I'm not sure why a previous reviewer thinks it's okay to give 1 star because of a failure to read the description. These things are prep bowls with about a 1 cup capacity. They are great for holding chopped ingredients, beating a few eggs, and storing any prep that needs to be refridgerated. The lids make it easy to keep the food from being spilled or having ingredients spilled in them. The non-slip bottoms are just like their much bigger cousins and keep the bowls from slipping on your work surface. About the only thing I wish they had are easy to read measuring marks. But their horizontal handle and pour spout more than make up for it.
I love these!
Edit:
After using this for about a year, the lids leave a little to be desired - it seems that without a decent way to release air pressure that they push themselves out of a tight fit. Sometimes it's not too bad, but there's no "clasp" to hold them in place, so they have popped up. I'd still give these 4.5, but I hope OXO fixes the design flaw.

Great Mixing and Prep Bowls, September 8, 2006
This review is from: OXO Good Grips 4-Piece Prep Bowl Set with Lids (Kitchen)
Okay, let's not get too excited over a common mixing bowl, but, this bowl is better than the "standard" glass or metal mixing bowls I used to have. The greatest feature is the rubberized bottom which prevents the bowl from easliy slipping on the counter while mixing. The handle is nice and a pour spout that actually works.
The prep bowls are a good size, about one cup or so, for onions, diced tomatoes, as a prep in advance for such things like Tacos or complex recipes like Lasagna.
The lids will fit tight, but can pop loose (haven't figured that one out yet)
The only issue I have, and really minor one, the bowls only come in one color, not that I don't like white, it is just that sometimes a choice in color makes a nice variety.
