What We Liked
This set of five bowls doesn’t go as large as some on the list, with sizes from 1.2 to 4.7 quarts, but it makes up for that with precise interior markings, making cooking a cinch. The main draw here are the excellent BPA-free lids with easy-grip handles for sealing in freshness for long term storage. A non-slip silicone base makes sure these bowls aren’t going to slide out of your hands or spill while mixing, and the sturdy steel build is durable and built-to-last. Get them here.

Premium Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls
A Futuristic Bowl Set
A 6-set of quality bowls that look straight off a spaceship kitchen in Star Wars.
What We Liked
You might be laughing at us here, because these are just bowls, but these are still some of the slickest, most well-made bowls we’ve seen, with a reflective mirror finish. Their fingerprint proof, lightweight build makes us wonder if the product description is talking about a nesting bowl or Iron Man’s suit. Sizes from 3/4 quart to 8 quarts ensure that no matter what you’re making, you have a bowl on hand that’s ready to step up to the task, and secure and extremely snug nesting capabilities means these six bowls really only take up as much space as a single bowl. Get them now.
