Did you bother to look at the price? That was for the set of 4
spatulas.

Well, if they had them for any other price that would be just wrong.

I have a scale, but don't use it very often.

I use mine for portion control. I always weigh pasta so I know what two
ounces is. Two ounces is the recommended serving and all the nutritional
info is related to that amount. I can get a better carb count for DH
that way.

I also use the digital scale when we have a foster kitten so I can track
their progress.

I'm hoping that later this month, when I'm on two legs again, we will
get another baby to foster. It's been almost a year since our last one.

I have them all, and the scale is one I rarely use. I can think of a
lot of other things that should go on the list ahead of some of the
things. A good set of knives should be on the list. A microplane is
handy for grating, but you could use a good knife to slice the zest off
and then chop it.

I rarely use mine now. I used to weigh some food but no need as I can just
eyeball it now. Of course this wouldn't work for something like flour where
moisture could affect it.

Why does she specify stainless steel bowls? I've been using the same
set of pyrex nesting bowls for over 40 years, and have been very happy
with them.

(or does it have something to do with peeling garlic...)

Haven't you heard? Current made "Pyrex" bowls explode. I'll not use

I don't know that Pyrex is any worse than it used to be but Corning sold
its rights to "Corelle" and the dishes are no longer made of Pyroceram.
The original Pyroceram dishes could be heated to red heat and then
dipped in ice-water without breaking. Don't try it with current Corelle.

Angela bought me my current Corelle when she was 4 or 5 so it is at least 10
years old. I have put the cereal bowls in the microwave with no problem and
also the plates. But... I have noticed with my prior sets, after they get
a number of years old, if you drop one, it will smash to powdery bits! When
it was new, you could drop one and it wouldn't break.

40 year old pyrex is hardly "current". Don't know what would cause
mixing bowls to explode.

I thought that was the point. Pyrex used to have a reputation for being
very resistant to heat change problems. The 40 year old stuff is the
old durable stuff. The newer Pyrex is not as safe as the old stuff.

That *was* my point. nb is the one who mentioned "current made" and
"exploding". I'd hardly call 40 year old Pyrex (or stainless steel, for
that matter) mixing bowls current.

She said hers was 40 years old.

I still have and frequently use a 45 yr old set of 3 nesting pyrex
bowls..still going strong.

I have Pyrex from the 1960's. I either bought it or it was given to me
used.

Me either. I have almost gotten rid of all of my Pyrex stuff. My bowls are
pretty sold so probably safe. I think I got them in the late '70s or
perhaps early '80s. I think I do have one newer casserole. It's small so I
don't use it often. And when I do use it, it's often just to store
something in. It has a lid. I'm afraid to cook with them now.

I like the new pie plates that I got for the Easter pie. They are larger
and deeper than the standard pie plate. I doubt that I would use them to
bake a pie in because of the size but they are just the right size to make a
casserole for the three of us.

I have an OXO silicone spatula, bought at Bed, Bath and Beyond. It works
well but the handle may not be silicone and tends to melt when resting
on the side of a skillet.

I love the OXO stuff! I have a few things from them. Yesterday I broke
the handle on my poultry shears and am now going for an OXO one. Hopefully
it will last longer too.

My silicone spatulas all have wooden handles. I'd prefer one piece to
keep them cleaner.

I have a one piece silicone spatula that is one of my favorite kitchen
tools. I believe I got it at Kitchen Collection in the outlet mall. I
shop there on Tuesday so I get the geezer discount.

Maybe because stainless steel bowls won't shatter if dropped?

I have a set of three Revere Ware SS bowls and love love love them! The
best part is the ring on the side. I slip a finger through that and it
makes handling the bowl, regardless of task, so much easier!

I have a set of those nested Revere Ware SS bowls, too. I bought mine
in 1978 or so.

The ring on the side of the Revere mixing bowls is very nice for holding
the bowl steady while mixing or beating. Ditto while pouring batter
into a pan. I use mine for hand-beating cornbread batter.

My mom's set of Revere SS mixing bowls circa 1951 did not come with
tight fitting snap-on plastic lids. The Revere Ware SS bowls I bought
for myself did.

When my parent were married in 1950 one of their wedding gifts was a
very large set of Revere Ware pots, skillets and bowls. Those things
took a real beating over the years and Mom was still using them when she
passed away in 2005. When we were cleaning out Mom's apartment my
sister, in one of her truly bone-headed moves, donated all of Mom's
Revere Ware to the Salvation Army. I managed, somehow, to keep the 6 qt
dutch oven with its lid. I'm not sure how I refrained from killing my
sister for that move, but she still walks among the living.

Over the past few years I've rebuilt my Revere Ware collection from
eBay, buying only those items with copper clad bottoms and the same
vintage as Mom's set. I also had to replace the bowls. I don't *need*
it, but I want to add a 4qt sauce pan. Haven't been able to find one
that the owner claims will sit flat and is the same vintage as the rest
of mine. Maybe one of these days!!

I have no clue what happened to my grandma's Revere. I would have loved to
have it but my dad probably assumed that I didn't need it as I had my own
set. Plus getting it here from Wichita would have been a problem. He had

She polished the copper bottoms of the pots every time she used them.

The newer ones aren't so great. And my mom's although old did not sit flat.

My mom and my Aunt Pearl, may they both rest in peace, had full sets of
Revere ware. Pearl's, who was kind of obsessive compulsive, pots
gleamed. Mom's, who was much more laid back, had pots that you'd have
to look closely at to see that the bottoms were copper. Both were
excellent cooks.

Mom also had a few pieces of Wagnerware Magnalite cast aluminum. I had
a set of them as well but lost them when we wrecked the RV in 2005.
Can't get them any more.

I have several. One is kept in the garage to put water in for my gardener's
dog or any stray cats that might come to see me. It was originally
purchased as an emergency thing when Angela became ill in a restaurant and
was throwing up. I ran into the nearest store and bought it for her in case
she didn't make it home. As it played out, she didn't need it and it
probably wouldn't have been big enough anyway but... I didn't have time to
look for a cheaper, larger one and so... I found another use for it.

Of course I have my garlic peelers and then I have an 8 quart one that used
to mix my meatloaf in. It was originally purchased to make pasta salad. My
mom said some relatives were coming to visit with their kids and grandkids.
She didn't tell me how many were coming and I assumed far more than did
come. So we never did finish off that pasta salad. Heh!

It does come in handy though. Normally it sits back in the corner of my
kitchen and holds things that don't have a home. Like decorative
toothpicks, extra toothpicks, skewers, candy papers and the potato masher
whose handle is so big and thick that it won't fit in my utensil holders.

I do have my big roaster and it could be used to mix up large amounts of
things. It's what I used to use for fruitcake. But since it is oval and
not round and more shallow than the big bowl, it's not necessarily ideal.

What a lot of people do with stainless steel bowls is to put them over water
to make an impromptu double boiler. Yes, you can do this with Pyrex and I
have, but I wouldn't with the newer stuff.

I actually like my giant bowl as it is much lighter in weight than my
largest glass mixing bowl or pudding basin (those are super heavy) or even
my pasta bowl. Those can get quite heavy depending on what you put in them.
But, the metal can't be put in the microwave which is why I see no seed for
any other sizes.

I have both Pyrex (Doris, are yours olive green and white?? LOL.) and stainless mixing bowls, but usually use the Pyrex.

I almost never use my Pyrex bowls. I usually automatically reach for the
stainless steel. They are lighter, easier to hold, unbreakable, and
easy to clean.

For smaller bowls (less then 2 qts) I prefer glass, they're heavier
and stay put, small ss bowls are light and tend to skate. But for
larger capacity bowls I much prefer ss. Some 20 years ago I bought a
set of ss bowls from W-S and I love them, very good as salad bowls and
excelent for mixing as they are deeper than most.

I just read the reviews at the site. People are complaining about the
lids not being air tight, mine are twenty years old and the lids are
indeed air tight, however they are not designed for transporting
liquids... I suspect those people put the plastic lids in the
dishwasher and they warped, and/or have dropped the bowls so that they
are out of round. These ss bowls are heavier weight and stronger than
most, if they are no longer air tight then they've been abused.

I don't have any kind other than stainless steel... in every
imaginable size.

It's a set of 4 in different colours. The big one is red, the next one
is green, the next one is orange, and the little one is yellow.
