Know before you buy
Yes, the set is heat-resistant up to 176°F. While they are perfect for draining hot pasta or mixing warm ingredients, they should not be used for boiling liquids or placed in the oven.
Yes, all components are top-rack dishwasher-safe. We recommend placing them on the top rack to maintain the integrity of the melamine and plastic lids over time.
The lids are designed to keep contents fresh and secure for storage in the fridge or freezer. While they provide a reliable cover, they are not strictly airtight, so they should be kept upright to prevent spills.
The entire six-piece set is designed to stack into the footprint of the largest bowl. This makes it an excellent choice for smaller kitchens or anyone looking to maximize cabinet space.
Yes, the bowls and colanders are crafted from BPA-free, food-safe melamine, and the included lids are made from food-safe plastic.
No, the bowls feature nonslip bases that provide extra stability. This helps keep them securely in place while you are whisking or mixing ingredients.
