Farberware Set of 3 Plastic Mixing Bowls in Assorted Colors

These bowls are somewhat larger than I had expected which is a good thing. It includes a 2 1/2, 3 1/2 and 4 1/2 quarts bowls. Made of mid-weight plastic, they are sturdy and do not bend when using. These bowls are great when you want to use an electric mixer because they are deep enough that the contents stay inside the bowl. I was a little hesitant to use an electric mixer for fear it would leave scratches inside but that was not the case. I even put steaming-hot boiled potatoes into the bowl to whip with the mixer and everything turned out fine. Each bowl has a rubber gasket on bottom to prevent slippage while mixing ingredients. There is an offset edge in which to grip the bowl and a spout for pouring. Cleanup is a breeze, food doesn't stick to the surface. They wash up great. You can put these in the dishwasher but I would not microwave. The colors look very pretty in the kitchen and stack nicely.

Starting with the fact the these bowls fit one inside the other for efficient storage, the colors are fun, and it appears that the bowls will not show stains from liquid ingredients as white or clear plastic bowls often absorb. I hose the bowls because I bake and cook a lot of items that require the ingredients to be separated until the final preparation, and while close in size, you can choose the bowl best suited to the volume you need to mix. The size of the bowl (2.5, 3.5 or 4.5 quarts) is written on the bottom of the bowl, if you are using the bowls for an approximate measure. However, if measurements need to be exact, use measuring spoons and cups. There are two nice features on each bowl: a lip for easy lifting and a spout for easy pouring. I also like the fact that the bowls are different colors, as I am more easily able to keep track of the type of ingredient in each bowl. Although the instructions indicate dishwasher-safe top-rack only, the bowls didn't fit on my top rack but washed without melting or deforming in the hot water/hot dry cycle. The bowls feel solid, not rubbery, but when I dropped one on the linoleum, no cracks appeared.

These Faberware bowls come in three sizes - 2.5 quart, 3.5 quart and 4.5 quart. I love the burst of color - red, orange and green. These bowls are so bold and pretty that I can leave them on my kitchen counter. These are sturdy, durable, easy care (wash on upper level of dishwasher) and can handle just about any mixing job you can name plus other uses I haven't even thought of yet. Scrambled eggs, potato salad, etc. I use the 4.5 quart to mix cake batter and also serve a salad family style. I know I will continue to get lots of use from these three pieces. Oh, did I fail to mention that there is a pour spout that prevents spillage. Nice feature. I am very pleased.

I loved these bowl! I had seen them a number of times and was glad when I could try them for myself. The ring around the bottom that keeps them from slipping is wonderful. Even for when I am breading my own home made chicken nuggets. I do a light seasoned breading and like to put some of the breading in the bowl and then layer breading and the chicken chunks and stir them to coat every layer or so. These bowls worked great because I could cut the meat, layer it in and then use just my wrist on one hand (the messy one that was holding the chicken!) and it was enough to let me stir between layers. I love the texture on the inside of the bowls as well because it makes it so that things don't stick and gum up like in other bowls I've used. It makes cleanup so much easier. I also used my electric mixer in them which I'm sometimes leery of doing because I've used mixing bowls in the past that when you use a mixer in them it pits and chips the sides of the bowl and you end up with flakes of it in your food. Not so with these. Once again I think it has to do with the texture of the inside of the bowl. Clean up was a breeze even with things that normally cake on and are very messy and hard to clean off of other bowls I've used. These will definitely be my go to bowls from now on. If I had to come up with one Con about these bowls is that I would like to see a fourth bowl in the set that runs about 8 quarts. Of course my reasons are a bit selfish there. I have a recipe for my grandmothers molasses cookies and it makes so many cookies it takes a very large bowl to make them in. Cutting the recipe down just doesn't work or come out the same and it makes about 10 dozen 3" - 4" cookies cut about 1/2" thick.

The bowls are durable and easy to handle. I love the non-skid rubber on the bottom of the bowls. It is so nice to mix ingredients and not have the bowl moving all around. Clean up is great. I also like that the interior of the bowls does not mar when mixing ingredients. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone. I made a cake last night and as I was drying the bowl I thought to myself that I need to buy more. Thank you.

This is a really nice set of three mixing bowls in useful sizes- orange is 2.5 qts.; dark red is 3.5 qts.; and green is 4.5 qts. They all have a gripper on the bottom that helps to stay in place while you are mixing. They don't hold real tight but enough to keep from making a mess. The colors are great and they are fairly sturdy. The orange bowl is the lightest one but worked nicely for whisking some eggs. I really like the pour spouts on them because I'm not the neatest person and the spout helps to aim for muffin tins or measuring cups. The spout has a good edge on it so it is easy to stop drips with your spatula. They stack well inside each other for easy storage and don't take up much space. I've always been a fan of Farberware products and these are no exception. They are handy and useful and pretty enough to leave out with fruit or snacks in them. They are also great for popcorn and easy to carry. They are a great addition to any kitchen. In my opinion you just can't have too many mixing bowls.

This FARBERWARE set of 3 mixing bowls comes in 3 sizes. The largest which is the green bowl is 4.5 Quart or (4.26L), the next size down is the red bowl which is 3.5 Quart or (3.31L) the smallest bowl the Orange one is 2.5 Quart or (2.37L). These set of bowls have spouts for easy pouring and easy to grip handles. They also come with nonslip base that stabilizes the bowl during mixing, I find that these bowls still move quite a bit when mixing the rubber backing helps some what. I have tried these out to see hoe stain resistances they are, I left mustard in the bowl for quite a while and it never did stained the bowl, for which I was surprised it didn't stain it. These bowls are dishwasher safe and comes with a lifetime limited warranty. FARBERWARE seems to have some great warranties that come with their products. These bowls are OK but, not the best I have used. One thing I didn't like about the bowl set is that FARBERWARE is printed on each bowl on the outside where you can see it.

These bowls are super cute, bright fun colors. There is a rubber grip on the bottom to help them not slide around, and they have a pouring lip on each. The sizes are great. The only thing I don't like is they are pretty flimsy. When mixing stiff dough they don't have a lot of stay power.

I thought having some lighter weight bowls than the heavy glass one would be nice and easier to handle. The weight of the bowl when handling them to pour cake mix, etc. is a nice feature. However, the handle/lip to hold the bowl didn't seem to work well for me. When you have heavy cake mix that you're pouring, or pouring cupakes into cupcake pans/liners, it is still quite heavy and not easily handled by the lip, I ended still grasping the bowl around my arms. I would prefer a handle, I think this would make it much easier to handle when pouring heavy liquids/batters. The colors are vibrant and cheery, and will add a pop of color to a boring kitchen. The pouring spout is a positive, it helps to control the stream of liquid/batter better than a bowl without a pouring spout. I've only had the product for 2 weeks, so I can't rate the durability or how much they will eventually scratch or discolor. I don't put my plastic in the dishwasher, I had wash them, because the dishwasher seems to age them prematurely. I hand wash all my melamine, I think it prolongs their life. If you use eco friendly dishwasher detergent, that may extend the life of the product as well. This is only my opinion, and others may find these to meet their needs perfectly, eliminating the weight of heavy glass bowls.

These are cheerful bowls, tastefully made in vibrant colors. They come in three appropriate sizes that nest together well, of a somewhat heavier construction than most plastic mixing bowls. The exterior of the bowls is shiny, but can be dulled by use of a plastic scrubber. The inside has a matte, non-stick texture. The bottom of the bowl has a "non-slip" rim, but it is only a slightly softer grade of hard plastic. On a smooth surface, the bowls will still slip around. The capacity of the bowl is marked on the bottom; there are no measurement markings on the inside or outside of the bowl itself. There is a pouring lip on each bowl. The handle seems to contribute to the structural strength of the bowl, but is not really useful, being only wide enough for one finger. One must hold onto the bowl using a thumb inside and fingers on the outside, and when the bowl is heavy it may be difficult to support with one hand. All that being said, these are sturdy and colorful bowls, easy to grab for mixing any number of things, easy to clean and should last for years. Having accidentally bounced them across the kitchen a few times, I am glad to note that they also come with a limited lifetime warranty.
