The Best Heatproof Bowl

January 24, 2026

A set of three glass mixing bowls (1-quart, 1.5-quart, and 2.5-quart) made from borosilicate glass. The clear glass lets you see ingredients and mixing progress.

Safe for microwave, oven, freezer, and dishwasher. The glass can go directly from freezer to microwave or oven without cracking.

Usage

Good for mixing batters and doughs, melting chocolate or butter in the microwave, marinating foods, and double boiler applications.

Cleaning

Dishwasher safe. The glass doesn’t retain odors or stains. For baked-on residue, soak in warm soapy water. Avoid sudden temperature extremes.
