I Switched to These Nesting, Non-Toxic Bowls – They Keep Food Fresh Three Times Longer
HexClad's vacuum-sealed mixing bowls will help you prep and store meals safely and in style
Whether I've cooked a family dinner or treated myself to takeout, I can't stand throwing away perfectly good leftovers. And with some New Year motivation spurring me on, I'm investing in food storage that reduces as much food waste as possible. There are a lot of options to choose from, but one in particular has caught my eye: HexClad's stainless steel mixing bowl set.
While HexClad produces some of the best non-toxic cookware, the brand's kitchen accessories don't often take center stage – but I think this set deserves its moment in the spotlight. The bowls feature patented vacuum-seal lids, which keep the contents fresh for longer. But my favorite part is the handy date dials, which help you track everything you've stored (no more fiddly sticky labels!). Plus, their stainless steel construction ensures they're non-toxic, too.
These aren't just any mixing bowls: they'll help you prep and store your food like a pro. The patented lids extend the life of your ingredients, the date dials allow you to organize your meal prep, and the sturdy steel bases make your home less toxic.
Whether you're marinating chicken, preparing a salad, or simply storing leftovers, these bowls will be a saving grace. I love that you can use them for both food prep and storage. HexClad's stainless steel mixing bowl set contains three different sizes, each with a non-slip base, a vacuum-sealed lid, and internal measurement markings. When they're empty, they nest snugly together, so they'll never take up too much space in your cabinets.
According to HexClad, the vacuum-seal design can keep food fresh for up to three times longer than standard food storage containers, and plenty of home cooks have expressed their delight. 'These are the bowls everyone should have,' reads one five-star review. 'They will replace all other bowls in your kitchen.'
I love spending my spare time cooking, but when winter arrives, I can struggle to find the motivation. This is where a meal prep routine comes in; when I'm craving a hearty dish but lacking in energy to cook, I'll always thank myself for preparing food ahead of time. What I've learned though is that storage is half the battle: careful planning means nothing if I don't store my meals and ingredients properly.
I'll always appreciate stylish kitchen storage containers that make my shelves look picture-perfect, but the best storage options will preserve food for as long as possible. As soon as I spotted HexClad's stainless steel mixing bowls, I knew that they would check every box. They might look sleek and stylish, but they're specially designed to help you keep track of your meals and ingredients, ensuring that nothing goes to waste. To me, that's money well-spent – and I can revolutionize my refrigerator and pantry storage for the year ahead.
