Question 1

How big are the bowls in real life? The photos make it hard to judge.

Accepted Answer

This is a common question! These are classic *pinch bowls* designed for small prepped ingredients, not for mixing or serving. The largest (3.5oz) is roughly the size of a standard shot glass or a small custard cup, with a diameter of about 3 inches. Many TikTok users recommend them for spices, minced garlic, or lemon zest—perfect for mise en place but smaller than typical kitchen bowls.

Question 2

Are these bowls durable and safe? I’ve seen comments about chipping.

Accepted Answer

The bowls are made from clear soda-lime glass. While they are sturdy for everyday use, the rims can be susceptible to chipping if knocked against hard surfaces or stacked carelessly. We recommend hand-washing and handling them with a bit of care, as you would with any glassware. They are not made from borosilicate or tempered glass, so avoid extreme thermal shocks.

Question 3

What are they best used for, and who would benefit most from this set?

Accepted Answer

These bowls excel at organization for home cooks who enjoy having ingredients pre-measured and ready to go. They're ideal for holding spices, chopped herbs, baking powders, or small condiments during cooking. The set of 12 is perfect for meal preppers, food content creators, or anyone who loves a tidy, Instagram-worthy cooking station. If you need larger bowls for mixing or more heavy-duty, grippy bowls for busy kitchens, you might want to explore restaurant-grade alternatives.

Question 4

Do they have any markings or lids?

Accepted Answer

No, the bowls are completely plain and clear without measurement markings or labels. They also do not come with lids. Their simplicity is part of their aesthetic appeal, but it means you’ll need to remember what’s in each one or use your own labels. Many users love this clean look for food photography.

Question 5

What is your policy if my order arrives with broken bowls?

However, if any bowls arrive broken, please contact our customer support team within 48 hours of delivery with a photo of the damaged items and packaging.
