How well do these bowls hold up when an electric mixer or an electric whisk is used in them? Do the metal "blades" cause any damage?

When I used a mixer, it removed the red coloring from the bowl. Basically it scratched up the sides of the bowl.

They are substantial enough to hold up to an electric mixer and an electric whisk. They are plastic and they do scratch. Not a concern for me however. I like everything about these bowls and have used them hard since purchasing them.

I use my bowls to mix everything from cake batter to frosting to bread dough with an electric mixer that includes a whisk and dough hooks. These bowls are holding up perfectly. No scuffs, scrapes or dings. And the nonslip bottoms keep the bowls where you put them. I'm crazy about 'em.

I bought these as gifts for my daughters. They love them and say they use them everyday and have shown no sign of scratches or damage. They are pretty heavy duty, I would imagine over time they will eventually scratch but have been used about a year now without any.

No idea how they compare to Nordic Ware, but I've been microwaving Corelle for quite some time. They're chip/break/shatter resistant, so I would not worry much about the dishwasher; I've seen a bowl fall off the counter and bounce, completely unscathed.Edit: Corelle dishes are made of Vitrelle glass.

Mr Thomas, I sincerely feel that you would not have any problems at all with these bowls regardless of what you do with them as long as it comes within the scope of normal use. Buy and enjoy.

I don't microwave these on a regular basis but have had no issues when I do. I love these bowls.

I love these knives. I've chopped potatoes and carrots and haven't had any problems. They will not hold up to deboning or other twisting actions, but for normal chopping or slicing they are great.

I've never add a reason to put these in the microwave. As far as break resistant, I've used Libbey glasses for over 30 years. The ones I've broken I accidentally hit the glass rather forcefully against something hard and broke 2 of them. But I've dropped them, and lightly banged them, but they haven't broken. They are fairly sturdy. Definitely not fragile like crystal is. I've even put them in the bottom of the dishwasher many times with no problems.

Yes, no problem at all in microwave. I have been using them for a few years and never an issue. Dishwasher safe too. Never had any breakage. If you stack them, I suggest folding a paper towel or two in the bottom bowl. It just keeps any accidental banging from chipping. They are sturdy but I like to be careful. I love mine.

They are a soft plastic and you can squeeze them a little. Not are hard as my other set of Cuisinart bowls - I did have one of those crack. I have not had any problem with them. One of the things I like about this set is that they don't collect water in the bottem rim when upside down in the dishwasher like my other Cuisinart bowls do.

I have not had a problem with broken bowls. I keep them in the freezer so they always ready to go. Remember, this little macine is great for SINGLE serve ice cream or yogurt.

I have not tried it myself, I do believe they are heat proof so they should be fine to use. General comments on the Internet say not to forget to place at least a trivet or towel under the bowl when cooking.

I guess you could say they are hard plastic...but they are very lightweight. I prefer a more sturdy bowl..these are too flimsy for me. Good for serving things, but not for mixing things with a beater

Yes I think that would be fine. You may get scratches on the inside from your beaters, but you should be fine. I tend to use mine with a wooden spoon as I already have a bowl that attaches to my mixer. I think it would be ok.

This would not be a problem. These are made of tempered glass, like Pyrex, and can handle quick temperature changes, in my experience. Barring a particularly faulty bowl, this would not be an issue.

Never used with beaters, but they are very strong suggestion contact manufacturer for answers you are looking for ! I use my every week and are my favorite mixing bowls well worth the money

Yes they are stainless steel beaters & whisk. Not sure on exactly the weight on mixer but it's not that heavy. The motor is no louder than most other mixers I have ever used. Its a nicemixer and gets the job done. Been very happy with this purchase.

We have put the bowls in the dishwisher( top shelf) and microwave. They are holding up well. I belief that they are not recommend to go into the dishwasher.They are very beautiful.
