Mixing Bowls, Salad Bowls and Serving Bowls Kenya

Bowls for every job in the kitchen and on the table: glass mixing bowls for batter and dough, salad bowls and fruit bowls for the table, serving bowls and serving dishes for stew, rice and sides, plus soup bowls, dessert bowls, punch bowls and trifle bowls. In borosilicate glass, ceramic and stainless steel, from a 500ml dip bowl to 5.7 litre party bowls.

Mixing bowls

A good mixing bowl is wide, steady and big enough that flour does not fly out when you whisk. Glass mixing bowls are the most useful kind: they do not stain or hold smells, you can see the mix from the side, and the borosilicate ones go in the oven and microwave, so one bowl mixes, bakes and serves. Nesting sets save cupboard space. For heavy dough and large batches, stainless steel mixing bowls are lighter to lift.

Salad bowls and fruit bowls

Salad bowls need width more than depth so the leaves toss without bruising. The 2.7 litre glass bowl serves a salad for six; the 4.4 and 5.7 litre sizes handle a party or a church lunch. Glass fruit bowls keep fruit visible on the counter, and a salad bowl with a lid doubles as fridge storage for leftovers.

Serving bowls and serving dishes

Serving bowls bring stew, rice, githeri, mukimo and vegetables to the table; glass and ceramic bowls hold heat longer than plastic and look right next to a dinner set. Match the serving bowl to the dinner set colour, or go clear glass, which goes with everything, including the Christmas table.
