Emile Henry Mixing Bowl Set of 3, White



Pretty and functional

These bowls are very beautiful and they nest nicely. They’re very sturdy but not too heavy. The sizes are perfect for various mixing jobs in the kitchen. I wasn’t impressed with the packaging, however. They came well-packed, but they aren’t in any kind of “original” box, like you receive when buying something like the Fiesta Baking Bowl set. Fiesta 3-Piece Baking Bowl Set, Cobalt Nothing was damaged, however, since they did use a good amount of bubble wrap and tape. Also, someone had applied stickers to the bottoms of the bowls (which aren’t glazed like the rest of the bowl), and the stickers left a residue which I’ll have to get off with something like Goo-gone.


I had purchased the Fiesta bowls, but they were too heavy for me (and one had a small crack in it, anyways), so I had to send them back. The Emile Henry are good substitutes for the Fiesta, as they are a bit smaller and weigh much less…

Really 4.99 stars

I have been searching for the right mixing bowls forever, wanting some that were good for mixing, microwaving, baking, storing, OK in the dishwasher, and attractive enough to go to the table and WITH A LID. I finally gave up on the lid. So far no crazing of the finish, or marks from silverware. The bowls come in happy bright colors but I chose white to go with any dinnerware I might be using. I own some Le Creuset stoneware and would rate these as high in quality but they are a little thinner and more sophisticated for doing double duty in the dining room. Amazon’s price is as low as I could find the product anywhere.. Recommend. Now make some lids Mr Henry!

I keep washing them so I don’t have to use any other bowls!

I got these bowls at the height of holiday baking and I loved them as soon as I took them out of the box. They are gorgeous, perfectly shaped for baking, mixing meatloafs etc. They are such a pleasure to use that I keep rewashing them immediately so I don’t have to use any of my ‘lesser’ bowls. (They are dishwaster safe though.)


I love the vibrant blue on the outside, and the white on the inside–since I like a white surface touching my food just for asthetic reasons.


Since these are mixing bowls I don’t care much about the feature that they can be taken from the freezer to go directly into the oven–but it’s great to know they can withstand massive temperature variations if they need to.


One note about the shape: Since they are ideally shaped for cooking and mixing stuff (on the tall side) they wouldn’t make attractive serving bowls. You could use them as a serving bowl, but the shape just screams "mixing bowl." So don’t buy them expecting…
