This is my favorite set of bowls. I don't use them for mixing, I use them for storing leftovers and having salads sometimes. They are durable, long lasting, timeless and practical and they can be washed in the dishwasher or by hand.

I like Scotch-Brite Zero Scratch sponges because they clean really well without ever scratching my pans, dishes, or counters. They’re tough enough to scrub away messes but gentle enough for nonstick and stainless steel. Plus they last longer than mos...
