Ideal for organized cooks who like to measure and separate all ingredients before starting a recipe, known as mise en place.

A small prep bowl set with lids suits organized cooks who like to measure and set out every ingredient before starting a recipe. The little bowls also hold sauces, dressings and snack portions, and the lids let prepped ingredients wait in the fridge.

Why prep bowls with lids make a good gift

  • Makes mise en place easy, so cooking goes smoothly once the stove is on.
  • Lids let chopped ingredients, sauces and dressings be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge.
  • Small enough to tuck into a stocking yet useful almost every time someone cooks.

What to look for

  • Check the capacity of each bowl so they fit typical amounts of spices, sauces and toppings.
  • Confirm that lids seal well and whether a lid is included for every bowl in the set.
  • Compare glass, stainless steel and plastic for weight, stacking and dishwasher suitability.
