This COOK WITH COLOR set is six plastic prep bowls with six matching lids, sized in a graduated range that nests down into the footprint of the largest bowl. The lids are what make the set do double duty: the same bowl you measured chopped onion into goes straight in the fridge without transferring to a container, which cuts both dishes and the container-lid mismatch problem. The bowls are microwave and dishwasher safe and BPA free, with non-slip bases so they do not skate across a counter while you whisk. Best fit: mise en place cooks, meal preppers, small kitchens where cabinet space is the binding constraint, and anyone whose food storage drawer has more lids than bowls.

Pros

  • Six bowls nest down into the footprint of the largest one, so the set stores in one spot
  • Matching lids turn a prep bowl into a storage container without a second dish
  • Non-slip bases keep the bowl from sliding while you whisk or stir
  • Microwave and dishwasher safe, so leftovers reheat in the same bowl

Cons

  • These are plastic rather than glass or stainless, so they will stain from tomato and turmeric over time and cannot go in an oven

Frequently asked questions

Are the lids airtight?

They snap on securely for refrigerator storage, but they are prep-bowl lids rather than fully leakproof containers. Do not pack soup in one for a commute expecting no spill.

Can they go in the microwave?

The bowls are microwave safe. Take the lid off or vent it first, since a sealed lid builds pressure as food heats.

Will they stain?

Plastic does stain from tomato sauce, curry and turmeric over time. It is cosmetic rather than a safety issue, and a baking soda paste lifts most of it.

What sizes are included?

Six graduated sizes from small prep bowls for spices and chopped garlic up to a larger mixing size, which is the range most recipes call for during prep.
