I have pyrex mixing bowls currently and am looking for mixing bowls that don't easily allow for spill over when mixing. Are these that kind of bowls?

Aloha C. Thomas!I have learned that using the right size of bowl prevents spillage. When I'm mixing cake batter, I use the biggest size of Anchor Hocking. it provides enough space for the ingredients to be blended well. There was a time I lifted the hand-held mixer without first turning it off and batter created a design on my kitchen wall.I had owned two Pyrex mixing bowls before and they were the big size. The Anchor Hocking I have now is transparent glass which helps me see the ingredients all around.Anyway, I hope what I have written helps you a little. Aloha C.

I've only used these a couple of times, but they have staight sides which seem to hold the ngredients in the bowl betterthan the ones I had, which where more rounded. Hope this helps.

The largest is okay for this when using a hand mixer. When I am mixing by hand, the big one is good and the medium is acceptable.

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 purchased these as my pyrex bowls sometimes ran over in the microwave. These bowls have an entirely different shape and nothing has spilled over since I've been using them.

I've not had any trouble with stuff spilling out of them while mixing - The sides are very steep which I think helps keep everything in the bowl, unless you just completely overfill them. I've used whisks and a hand mixer in the largest bowl and it's worked well.

I have experienced no problems using a portable mixer with any of these bowls. I don't have a mixer stand so I don't know if there would be any problems using these to replace the bowl(s) that came with that original mixer.

I've not seen any offered. Most likely you cannot find any made specifically for the bowls. You could likely get the size of the opening and then get the lids separately from a different vender. The bowls are beautiful and work well as serving bowls. But they are too small for most of my kitchen mixing use. Only the largest of the three has practical mixing use.

I haven't ever had this issue with mine. Are you sure they're coming from the bowls? Do you use them in a mixer?

Yes I make a lot of cakes and use these bowls to mix everything together with beaters and they haven't flaked yet. I've had them for a few years and bought them for my sister.

I use my hand mixer all the time in these bowls. They are super durable & cannot be hurt by using anything in them. You can't go wrong with them. They really are the best!

I don't use this set for that purpose, I think it might have an adverse effect on the rubber. I use an all stainless bowl or glass for hollandaise or chocolate. but for all my other mixing these bowls are great! Even with the smallest bowl I can whisk up a salad dressing and not need to hold the bowl.

Have not tried the bowls but freezing and oven cooking are the positive traits if Pyrex. Pyrex pie plates I can personally say they with stand heat and freezing. I would not hesitate to freeze Pyrex bowls

I don't know the difference between different types of glass, but like Pyrex, I imagine similar caution needs to be taken. I wouldn't use the dish on top of the stove nor would I put a hot dish in cool water, ways that I myself broke 2 Pyrex dishes.

Because it is not clearly marked, I wouldn't assume that they are microwave safe. My Pyrex bowls are all marked safe for microwave, for example. They are rather thin, so on the plus side each piece is lightweight, but not as durable as something heavier. I guess that's the trade off.

I guess you could. They are soft & "squishy" bowls but I don't see why you couldn't use a mixer if you're careful. I use the bowls mainly to mix and add ingredients to my Kitchen Aid mixer. The tops of the bowls pinch nicely into a spout.

Hi Ashley,I use Pyrex cups of various sizes, up to 8 cups with many different types of hot / cold liquids from water to expensive oils. I haven't noticed a "dip or spill" aspect. But, one trick I use is to pour slowly, which I'm sure you know but I don't rest the cup lip on the edge of the container I'm pouring into. The measuring cup has a "small" pouring spout. try placing it into the receiving container about 3/8", pour steadily, evenly, and end by not just lifting the cup up but also tilting the cup upwards quickly.I hope this helps. Enjoy your cup.Phil Hi Ashley,I use Pyrex cups of various sizes, up to 8 cups with many different types of hot / cold liquids from water to expensive oils. I haven't noticed a "dip or spill" aspect.

Hi, Marty-jean...the bowls nest beautifully, and are just the right sizes NOT to stick to each other...these measuring cups/bowls are a great deal, since a Pyrex 4-cup costs the same, about, as this entire set...and for my use, the Anchor Hocking glass is just fine and also heat/cold resistant (can go from fridge to microwave, etc.).

Hi, I love these nesting bowls. I didn't purchase them for microwaving in. I just checked and it says "Not recommended for use in Micro. They store easily taking up less space. Nice sturdy bowlst

These bowls are meant to be used for salads and soup. They are not Pyrex. A little light microwaving, OK. Boiling, no I don't think so. Find some Pyrex bowls for that.

I'd get it...I am one of the reviewers that had one shatter, but I think it is rare! I have many pieces of Pyrex with no other issues, and I have also purchased another replacement, and have had no problems...Buy, use, enjoy!

It is safe to pour hot food or liquid into these bowls. They are not safe, however, for direct heat so you can not use them to cook with direct heat on a stove. I don't think they are intended to go into an oven either. They are not cookware. But hot liquids in a mixing bowl is fine.
