I was recently lucky enough to be sent this set of 3 bowls and was just told to enjoy them by Brabantia. Well, enjoy them I have, as you can see from the pictures below, they have had lots of use since they arrived. My existing bowls were all made of glass or china and were looking a little worn and were heavy to fish out of the cupboard every time I needed one.
Cake making.
Biscuit making.
Daughter’s bread making.
The Brabantia set of Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls come in 3 really handy sizes, 1, 1.6 and 3 litre and have really useful ml measurement markers down the inside. I’ve never had that in a bowl before! The ultimate improvement over a glass bowl is the fact that these all have non slip bases so no need to secure with a damp cloth, these bowls stay put. This non slip base is also gently curved for the optimal mixing position. I also love the fact that I can remove this set of bowls from my cupboard with one hand instead of the usual crouching two handed affair that I had with my glass ones! I notice that they can also go in the dishwasher which I was surprised about but then it says on the side of the box that they are heat resistant to 220°C so putting hot ingredients in them is also no problem. Is there nothing these bowls cannot do! I made a cake the other day in the 3 litre one as I couldn’t be bothered to get my stand mixer out of the cupboard. I did think twice about putting metal mixer blades in a metal bowl and was worried about ruining it. I then persuaded myself that I was being ridiculous and sure enough the bowl looked as good as new after I washed it up – (“oh ye of little faith” I thought to myself). They come with a 5 year guarantee too!
I notice on the packaging that they can also be used as a serving bowl at the table, which I hadn’t thought of but will now do as they are so pretty to look and I constantly have a smile on my face when using them! It’s like being able to run for the first time when I only knew how to walk, these bowls really have improved my cooking experience so I would thoroughly recommend them. My mother was green with envy when she heard about them and asked if I really needed all of them – hands off mum!
The rrp on these bowls is £55 on Brabantia’s website but I notice they are on special offer at Argos (online only) for £45.95 (not sure for how long though). So, if you need a Christmas or birthday present for the special foody person in your life I think this would make a lovely gift, as I know if my husband had bought them for me, I would have been over the moon.
Now that I’ve whet your appetite, I thought it would be extremely selfish of me not to go back to Brabantia and ask for a set of bowls to give away to one of my readers. Being the lovely people they are, they said yes.

My mixing bowls are old and as the review says, glass ones are heavy to get out of the cupboard and to handle. They look attractive and the measurements on them are a good idea. It’s also a good idea to have more than one so you don’t have to keep washing up

I am keen to start baking again after a few years of giving it up when I became single. Gave all my mixing bowls away!

Fab giveaway! The bowls would be very handy as I dropped my favourite mixing bowl the other day and it has a crack in it 🙁 I make a lot of cakes so they would be very handy!

Haven’t started the Xmas baking yet (!) and all my baking stuff is still in storage after a big move… besides, my mixing bowls are plastic yuk

My daughter has really taken to baking, she goes to a class every week with one of the contestants from British Bake Off last year and made our Christmas cake there. She really wants to keep baking and as she also has Asperger’s Syndrome it’s great to see her doing something other than playing games on the laptop! Thanks for the review.

I like stainless bowls and everything always seems to mix so well in them, they are the professionals choice too.
