Pyrex Smart Essentials Glass Mixing Bowls with Lids (8-Piece)
Pyrex
Smart Essentials Glass Mixing Bowls with Plastic Lids (8-piece set)
The bowls themselves are a plastic-free workhorse; the four plastic lids are what keep this set from scoring lower. Use the bowls without lids, or cover with a plate, and it functions plastic-free.
Four tempered-glass mixing bowls with four BPA-free plastic storage lids. The glass does the mixing, baking, and serving; the plastic is confined to the snap-on lids.
