A bunch of stacking prep bowls for the kitchen. Previously, I had nesting sets of glass and metal bowls, each with three sizes. I still kept the glass set for microwaving, but I gave away the set of three metal bowls. In their place, I got 8 medium bowls and 12 mixing bowls. They are great when prepping ingredients for mise en place style cooking. The mixing bowls are a bit larger, so I also use them for making salads, soaking chickpeas, and so on. It's nice to never need to scramble for bowls, but at the same time they stack perfectly so they don't take up much space. I bought extra because I am assuming the bowls with get damaged over time, but the company will eventually stop making them.
Me too! I have a stack of maybe 7 small metal bowls, and they've been amazing for prep. What are the mixing bowls you refer to? Just slightly steeper walls so nothing gets out while stirring?
The opposite, they are three quart bowls with rounded bottoms. That makes it so that food doesn't get trapped in the corners like you would get with steep walls. The medium bowls have walls that are basically straight, which is space efficient for prep.
