We all like to use bowls for a lots of things, and the main thing is most likely preparing foods. If you are making meatballs, bread or anything from in between you will need to have a bowl where you can mix the ingredients. They are very versatile and we do use them in a lot of different applications – but are all of them BPA free? Plastic bowls aren’t necessarily BPA free and when you whisk stuff in them, you are basically trying to force small particles of the wall of the bowl to come off. This can contaminate your food, and once the surface of the plastic is broken, there will be plenty more where that came from!
So let’s face is – almost all food preparation requires a bowl of some kind since at one point you will be mixing up ingredients and you want to have a good container in which you do it to avoid making a mess in the kitchen. Having a BPA free bowl will make it sure that you are not getting that harmful chemical in your system, and since these bowls are made of glass, you are not getting any other plastic poisons either. Like we have discussed before, BPA isn’t necessarily the only potentially harmful compound used in manufacturing in plastic products, but there can be others that we don’t know of yet.
Two materials which are both very trusted is stainless steel and glass, and they each have good applications in which they work better than the other. For bowls, there isn’t much of a difference which you use, but these glass bowls are very good for quite a few reasons. First of all they are stackable, so they won’t take up space in the cupboard – we all have too little storage space in our kitchens anyway, you don’t want a huge set of bowls taking up all the space!
Another great thing about these BPA free bowls with a lid is the fact that the glass is clear and see through. You might be using the lid to store something in these bowls inside the fridge. So you are preparing for a dinner or a party and you have made a lot of work the day before to make it all easier. You can just chop up the vegetables and make the dressings and store them in these bowls inside the fridge – you won’t have to have a separate container where you will put them. It will save you a lot of dishes. Since the glass is very clear, you can easily see what is inside the respective bowls, and pick the one you need at the moment, without a hassle. With this set you are getting a total of 13 bowls and the majority of them comes with an airtight lid. The largest ones don’t have a lid, but let’s face it they are most likely too large (over 10″ in diameter) to be put in the fridge anyways. The same goes for the smallest (2.8″) which are very usable when you are mixing spices for example, but nothing that you might store for long term.
One of the best parts is that these BPA free bowls are very easy to clean and so are the lids. You can wash them in the dishwasher and you won’t have to worry about them getting worn down because of it. Besides just durability during washing, they will last in the freezer as well, but not in the oven. They are made of tempered glass, that is very hardy and durable – you won’t have to worry about breaking with normal use!
And if you do break them, there is one exceptional benefit that comes with tempered glass – it doesn’t produce those shards that you can cut yourself on, but it goes in to small pebbles. Some users have fell in love with this feature once they have accidentally broken one of the bowls. It makes even the breaking of a bowl safer.
If you are looking for BPA free bowls with a lid, then these by Luminarc are definitely something that you should be looking in to. There will be others added to our website, but based on what we have tested and what we have received feedback on, these are the top of the line.
