Wait'll you get prep bowls.
Edit: I use these, in case anyone is wondering.
Mixing bowls are awesome.
I got these from amazon and they are great.
It makes it really easy to marinate / mix stuff. If you don't have bowls in your kitchen, you wouldn't understand.
I typically dump four chicken breasts into a medium bowl, dump some sauces in there (bbq, salad dressing, homemade sauce from a smaller bowl) mix it around with my hands, and let it sit while the oven preheats.
Throw them titties in the oven, wash the bowl, and we're done.
Makes coating / mixing seasoning a breeze. I use them for veggies too, cut the veggies up, toss them into the bowl, salt+pepper and oil, mix with my hands, and we're pretty much done.
Super quick, super easy, straightforward to clean up.
Anyways, bowls: reusable, hemispherical, shiny, a great solution for all of your mixing needs.
I bought these 4 years ago, and I can honestly say I use them every single time I cook. Good range of sizes, easy to clean, stack nicely, and great for holding ingredients your prepping to cook.
