If you fancy yourself a whiz in the kitchen, you know how important a good set of mixing bowls is. Whether you’re cooking, baking or concocting new recipes, you need a place to put all your ingredients together. Using cereal bowls or tupperware just won’t do the trick (as I found in my younger years). Getting a trusty set of mixing bowls can alleviate a lot of headaches and eliminate any struggling to mix ingredients in a vessel that’s too small. So if you’re needing some or looking for a gift for a friend’s housewarming party, any of these sets of mixing bowls would be great additions for your and their kitchen.

Pyrex is synonymous with quality glassware and this set is no exception. With a 2 1/2-quart bowl, a 1 1/2-quart bowl and a 1 quart bowl, you’ll have plenty of space to combine your ingredients.
