 A nice set of bowls December 5, 2008
Heather the shopper (Sewell, NJ United States)
I initially purchased these bowls as a prep bowl set, and then I was highly impressed at the measuring capabilities. They are well-made and beautiful (I ordered the persimmon color, a nice orange that isn't garish). They really make things easier in the kitchen. A good value.
Perfect December 5, 2008

These bowls are great. Nice and heavy, and their dual purpose measuring cups and prep bowls are genius. The fact that they stack together for easy storage is great.
Makes my list of MAGGIE'S FAVORITE THINGS September 29, 2008
Marygaston H. Adams (Atlanta, GA)
I've always wanted to create a list of my favorite things, just like Oprah. If so, these bowls would be on it. Each year, I try to find something great (yet inexpensive) that I love to send my friends. This is what I'm sending this year!
I'd buy it again August 27, 2008

Product is perfect when you're busy at work and want to grab a serving of nuts out of a larger bag or container, or if you want to measure out the right amount of yogurt quickly and get back to work. They are nice enough looking that you can use them as bowls and eat right out of them, as I do with my yogurt, nut and peanut butter snacks.
 Disappointing July 31, 2008

These nesting measuring bowls-- if that's the term-- are rather attractive if you like the color orange. Each bowl can be used for two measurements as follows:
2 cups/1 cup;
1 1/2 cup; 3/4 cup;
1 cup; 1/2 cup;
1/2 cup; 1/4 cup;
1/4 cup; 1/8 cup.
For example, you can measure both 1 Cup and 1/2 cup from the same bowl. There is a line that indicates where 1/2 begins.But why would you need to measure 1/2 cup out of the bigger 1 cup bowl when you have a bowl with a bigger measurement of 1/2 cup? One of the problems is that the numbers are divisible by 2 only. How do you get 1/3 of a cup measured? Additionally how on earth do you level the smaller measurement within the larger one? Try measuring 1/8 of a cup, for example, and see if you can level off whatever you are measuing. I obviously knew there were no handles on these bowls\ when I ordered them, but I like to put the measuring cup into the flour or sugar container and then level with a knife or spatula, something that is rather difficult to do with these.
These bowls will probably stay nested on my kitchen shelf.
