As a general rule, it pays to follow Ina Garten's example in the kitchen. The Barefoot Contessa has spent recent decades influencing our cooking skills from her East Hampton home – starting with the right appliances and accessories.
Here on the celebrity style team, we spend hours watching Barefoot Contessa episodes and scrolling Ina's Instagram to catch a glimpse at the products she uses in her kitchen, and, most recently, we came across her mixing bowls.
While, initially, it may seem that all mixing bowls are the same, Ina's pick proves that some are, in fact, smarter and stronger than others. Her pick? The Anchor Hocking 10 Piece Mixing Bowl Set (available at Walmart).
Anchor Hocking designed these bowls so that you have every size you need in one place – meaning you're spending less time scrambling through your cupboards for obscure bowl sizes and more time enjoying the cooking process. They're designed to allow you to 'Prep, Mix, and Bake like a Pro,' the Amazon listing notes.
It's a versatile kitchen storage solution we didn't realize we needed until Ina's endorsement, naturally.
These durable glass mixing bowls are a favorite in Ina Garten's kitchen, and soon, they'll be just as essential in yours. It includes the right size for almost every prep, mixing, and serving need – whether you're a keen chef or just like the cook for a special occasion. Whenever you need mixing bowls, you're covered.
Anchor Hocking bowls may be a modern kitchen must-have, but they've been an American kitchen staple since the early 20th century. The brand launched in 1905 with a simple goal: 'to make the glass that homes really need.' The result is an ultra-strong material designed to stand the test of time – while being a healthier alternative than plastic and metal.
Plus, Anchor Hocking glass will not warp, stain, retain smells, or leach dangerous chemicals into food or drinks, so you can rest easily, knowing that your food is free of any unnecessary toxins. It's no surprise that Ina loves it.
Beyond your kitchen countertops, these bowls conveniently double as serving pieces. There's nothing quite as classic as transparent bowls to make hosting effortless. They fit into any dining room or living space and make entertaining easy. We recommend filling the appropriately sized bowls with your favorite snacks and going from there.
