Ever conscious of the space restrictions imposed by modern urban living the Nest Food Preparation set offers multi-use, but takes up only minimal space in the kitchen. The Nesting 8-piece set is comprised of a large blue 4-1/2-liter mixing bowl with non-slip bottom and helper handles, a light green small 1/2-liter mixing bowl with measurements included on the inside, a blue colander, a sieve and a 4-piece multi-colored measuring cup set. All 5 components nest together.

| 119 of 120 people found the following review helpful  Good Form, Bad Function, By J Fiorello (Philadelphia, PA USA) - See all my reviews These bowls are deceiving, overpriced, and of horrible quality. I love to cook, and by now I know what products will last in my kitchen and what won't. I was so ecstatic when these bowls arrived in the mail... until I opened it. Part of it was my fault- I didn't read the description thoroughly and immediately expected a set of bowls and gadgets to also be perfectly functional and to last me a lifetime- made out of melamine, or something much more durable than cheap plastic (think set of bowls from Wal-Mart) that can't be microwaved. The small wire sieve is all plastic, and the mesh is made out of something like fishing wire! I was expecting metal, instead of a material that would stretch and tear after one use. I returned it the next day. Go to Williams Sonoma, or any other reputable kitchen store and buy yourself high-quality items separately for the same price. PS. I have a joseph joseph chop-to-pot cutting board, and I love it. I think that's why I immediately assumed this nest set would be a godsend. 40 of 42 people found the following review helpful All style, no substance, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) From reading the reviews, I knew that the sieve would be flimsy but the rest of the set was supposed to be dishwasher-safe. I put the small green bowl in the top rack of my dishwasher but the colander only fit in the bottom rack; the bowl is fine, but the colander is now noticeably warped on one side. (Incidentally, I have a set of nesting bowls I bought from Ikea a decade ago and they still look great, despite having gone through the dishwasher countless times. And they only cost a tenth of this set.)The other issue is one I didn't discover until I tried using the measuring cups for the first time. When I'm baking, I like to run a knife across the top of the measuring cup to make sure I'm measuring ingredients as precisely as possible. That's only doable with the smallest measuring cups because the others are countersunk, so that the handles allow them to nest properly in the set. The set looked gorgeous when I first took it out of the box, but it turned out to be a real disappointment. Unfortunately, it isn't possible to give less than one star otherwise I'd give it zero. As far as I'm concerned, this was a complete and utter waste of money. 28 of 29 people found the following review helpful looks good but not practical, By Pen "Name" (Japan) - See all my reviews This review is from: Joseph Joseph 8-Piece Food Preparation Nesting Set (Kitchen) I was given this attractive set and I really love the concept. It contains everything I need for cooking - small and large mixing bowls (the smaller one also has measuring marks) 2 kinds of strainers and a set of measuring cups. Because space is very limited in our house I love the way they stack up. However, the first thing my husband did was to strain pasta through the nylon sieve and so it shrank meaning that nothing stacked up nicely any more. Because I need the bigger items far more often then the measuring cups, the cups just ended up getting in the way. I would have loved the option of hanging them but the smallest cup does not have a loop in the handle like the other cups do. I ended up putting them in the toy box.The other thing that really bothers me is that none of it is microwavable. I think it is a very beautiful looking set but I wish they had put a little more thought into the functional aspect. |
