The quality is not what I expected. They are very light weight compared to others I have seen. I wanted bowls that were not too deep like those at Bed, Bath & Beyond, but these are so shallow that while using a hand mixer, I had cake mix flying all over the kitchen on low speed! The capacities are not as stated as noticed by another reviewer. I am keeping them because I like the way they stack and don't take up a lot of space, but I would have purchased a different set had I known what I know now. Costco had a deep set with lids at Christmas time for about the same price. Oh well, live and learn.

When I got my set, the capacities didn't seem quite right so I measured them by filling with water and came up with these capacities:

2 cup, 4 cup, 6 cup, 10 cup and 16 cup.

So the largest bowl is about 1/2 the capacity of the size specified in the description! Well, I didn't really have room for the large one anyway (in my tiny NYC kitchen), but hey guys, that's not right. Fix it.

The bowls do have a wider and shallower profile than the typical mixing bowl, but I think that actually works to their advantage, making stirring and mixing easier and more thorough. And they don't have that annoying ridge an inch down from the rim that some others do. The rim has a nice smooth curl to it, so pouring is easy to control. I like them.

But fix that description, fellows, before somebody gets hurt.

These bowls are of fine quality, but they turned out to be too shallow for our baking and mixing purposes, so we donated them.

These stainless steel bowls are outstanding! I love them and don't have to worry about dropping one and breaking it. A very good value for the the price.
