Cuisinart Mixing Bowl Set

If you're helping someone set up their kitchen, a good place to start is with mixing bowls. Think about it. Where do most recipes start? With mixing, right?

You could go with the one-size-fits-all model. But one-size-fits-all is about as true with mixing bowls as it is with clothes. The perfect egg scrambling bowl is not the same size as the perfect cake batter bowl. Unless, of course, you're scrambling eggs for the entire army but only cooking a cake for the General. And how often does that happen?

Cuisinart's 4-Piece Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl set includes 4 popular sizes: 1 quart, 1.5 quarts, 3 quarts, and 5 quarts. A nice, solid range.

All the mixing bowls in this Cuisinart set are made from professional quality stainless steel. High sides on all four bowls help to reduce spills and splatters during mixing. These high sides, along with the fact that the bowls are dishwasher safe, make for much easier cleanup.

Chocolate cake batter may be fun to lick off the counter, but no one wants to be on KP duty when there's dried egg to be cleaned off the walls.

The bowls are attractive as well, with a brushed finish and a polished edge band. And the set comes with a five-year warranty.

But, after all this, I must confess. I am wrong. All recipes do not start with mixing. They start with ingredients. So if you want to be a very good friend, throw some staple ingredients (or more exotic ones) in with the set of mixing bowls for a more personalized, but still extremely useful, gift.
