Duralex - Lys Stackable Clear Bowl 7.5 cm (3 in.) Set of 4

I have always liked this durable, very utilitarian prep bowls. I use them for snacking on nuts and chocolate bits, too. (The 7.5 cm size is perfect for that; keeps me from eating a pound of pistachios at one sitting!) Duralex-Lys provides a number of sizes that make pre-measuring ingredients a snap for me. Work very well for liquid, solid, or powered/ground ingredients, from small amount of spices, extracts, butter etc., to more substantial volumes of ingredients. Their shape is perfect, with just the right curve and no interior lip that makes a barrier to easy pouring of liquid or ground ingredients. I have no problem getting it all out of the prep bowl. Unlike most glass prep bowls, these are pretty sturdy. They can break, but not as easily as other brands. I have dropped some of them and they held up. Two have broken in the past 10 or so years. Not brittle like so many glass bowls. I have used the heat resistant custard dishes so many people seem to like, but they break easily and do not empty as well. I have no need to put Duralex-Lys bowls in the over, so I cannot speak to their performance in baking or over heating. Besides, for the small bowls, it would be unwise to try to remove small hot bowls of liquid from an oven. Other brands have a lip that even a silicone spatula cannot scrape clean to empty ingredients into the mix. I have used these for many years, many sizes, and they have remained one of my most relied-upon kitchen tools.

Duralex pinch bowls made my husband a believer ... no more using big rice bowls or drinking glasses for prepping minced garlic, ginger, fresh herbs, etc., for cooking. Clean up is so much easier when you just throw all the little bowls in the dishwasher... it makes cooking more pleasant. And this size is big enough for other uses, like melting butter, serving snacks, or small serving desserts. One of the most useful tools in our kitchen, and worth the price for the excellent quality and durability.

These are smaller than the small pyrex cups you had as a kid. Nice for pre-measuring the pepper, salt, herbs in a recipe. Duralex is a personal favorite brand and these didn't disappoint me. I think I have average man hands and this size has a diameter about as long as my pointer finger. In the picture it's the larger of the two, at left. The smaller one to its right is just 6 cm (2 3/8 in).

These small dishes are so fabulous and best of all, durable. I use them for so many things, especially condiments. They are pricey, but will last forever.

I love these bowls. The quality is just what you expect. I originally bought these for my young children (2 & 4) for use with Montessori style projects (like putting different colored water in dropper bottles and letting them use these bowls to mix different colors or using these bowls to hold different color beads or pom poms for counting or using tweezers) but I did end up using them also for food. They are great for pre-measuring spices when following recipes or for putting soy sauce or other sauces when eating. I also find something aesthetically pleasant about these small bowls and really enjoy using them!

Having limited kitchen counter space I have found use of the Duralex bowls to be very helpful. Rather than having all the recipe required items stacked up on the counter at the same time, I take a few items out at a time, measure the ingredient and put the item back in its storage place. Whether its an extract, e.g., vanilla or almond, or item such as salt, pepper or baking soda, I can simply measure the quantity of the item needed and line the cups up in a row. I have found the quality of my measurements and speed of the baking process to have improved significantly. I strong recommend you also get the larger size cups for more bulky ingredients. They cleanup nicely and when stacked take very little cabinet space.

I’ve owned Duralex small glass bowls in three different sizes for years and love them! I only recently moved and suspect someone dropped several of my bowls that are missing plus I found glass in my old apartment where I stored them. But, that’s okay as I appreciated the help in moving! So I ordered the 3” diameter and it is the smallest of my three different sizes I’ve owned. These were the ones missing. I received (2) 4-pack orders and they were wrapped and packaged very well. When I removed them, I did observe very small fine scratches on the outside of 4 of the 8 total. These were packaged so very well, there is no way these scratches occurred in transit. Plus, no one could have seen the fine scratches unless they removed them from their protective packaging. They had not been removed. The scratches are on the bottom coming up the side. Again, they are small. I don’t feel the scratch on the inside so the glass is intact inside. I do know that if I should drop any of these, they’ll likely break quickly due to the imperfection of fine scratches. I’m not typically clumsy though. I am keeping and will use for small measurements or even small items like a tablespoon of jam. I cannot recommend Duralex small glass bowls enough as I have used for many years now and I have been very content with my decision to purchase.

reliably sturdy bowls

These are quite small so definitely check the size before ordering. That said, they are absolutely perfect for my needs. They’re very robust, great quality, and exactly what I was looking for.

These bowls are surprisingly versatile. My original intention was to use them for individual condiment servers but I have found them ideal for food prep.

About the right size for preparing e.g. garlic, chilli, a small amount of spices, butter, a medium egg. Good for ketchup and shallow dips. A bit too small for other prep. Seems study enough.

Very handy small bowls. Great for putting some bar b que sauce in when cooking outside. They are small though.

Perfect! Just what I needed. Very cute, durable and practical little bowls. Very fast shipping with tracking. Easy to communicate with seller (Fast response) Excellent customer's service!
