It's in the mixing

Glass bowls

From prepping and mixing, to serving and storing, no kitchen is complete without a set of glass bowls. Versatile glass bowls are dishwasher and microwave safe and can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

Prep work.  To streamline your cooking, you can chop and measure your ingredients in advance and set them aside in small tempered glass bowls. 

Mixing.  A set of colorful glass mixing bowls can be used to mix up a cake batter or a batch of cookies or double as a serving bowl.

For larger quantities.  Every kitchen needs a super capacity large glass bowl for preparing food in large quantities.  Whether you're mixing multiple batches of cake batter or tossing a salad for a crowd, a big glass bowl is up to the task.

Serving.  Glass bowls in a variety of styles and shapes are ready to serve!  Having a variety of glass serving bowls is a necessity for every well stocked kitchen.  To get the most out of a serving bowl, choose styles that are good looking enough for serving guests, yet durable enough to withstand everyday use.  

Plastic bowls

Plastic bowls are another must-have in the kitchen. Durable plastic mixing bowls feature a non-slip base for stability when stirring or mixing.  Many plastic mixing bowls have a convenient spout for easy pouring, so you can measure and pour in one easy step.  Sets of plastic bowls come with plastic lids, so you can prep foods in advance and then refrigerate them until you're ready to cook or bake.  Plastic bowls with lids are also convenient for storing leftovers.

Ceramic bowls

Another versatile bowl is the ceramic bowl.  Ceramic bowls are well designed for mixing batters and doughs.  Heavy in weight, they stand firmly in place even when you're using an electric hand mixer.  Ceramic bowls can also be used as serving bowls, for salads and side dishes.  Or create a lovely centerpiece with a ceramic bowl of oranges or other fresh fruit.

Crystal bowls

For entertaining, you'll want to have a variety of crystal bowls on hand.  Crystal bowls make any occasion more elegant.  They are great for serving nuts, candy, fruit or sorbet to your guests.  Desserts look even more tempting in a crystal dessert cup!

Wooden bowls

Skilled woodworkers create lovely salad bowls and wooden dough bowls. Traditional butcher block construction is used to create laminated salad bowl sets that are exceptionally strong and durable.  Each wooden dough bowl is a unique creation hand carved from a solid piece of wood.  Antique wooden dough bowls have become desired collectibles, used for kneading bread or as quaint centerpieces.
