Porcelain Mixing Bowls With Lids Review
Four embossed porcelain bowls with airtight snap lids, in 12, 16, 28 and 40 oz. Here is what they do well and where they stop.
These porcelain mixing bowls with lids are worth buying if you want one set that mixes, serves and stores. You get 12, 16, 28 and 40 ounce porcelain bowls with airtight snap lids, oven and dishwasher safe, and they nest down to almost nothing in a cabinet. Buy them.

Almost Too Pretty to Use
Pulling these out of the box, my first instinct was to put them on the table, not in a cabinet. The white porcelain has an embossed pattern running around the exterior of every bowl, the kind of detail that reads as intentional rather than decorative-for-the-sake-of-it. They look like something you bought because you wanted them, not because they were on sale. See the current price on Amazon if you want to compare them against what is already in your cabinet.
The thing that makes this set so versatile is that you are getting four different sizes. A 12 ounce, a 16 ounce, a 28 ounce, and the biggest at 40 ounces, which is about five cups. That spread covers whisking two eggs in the little one all the way up to mixing a batter in the big one.
These bowls mix, serve, and store
Most people see “mixing bowls” and assume the bowls live in a cabinet. These do not have to. The embossed pattern means you can carry one straight to the table and serve out of it, which is not something I would do with my old stainless set.
The smaller bowls handle mixing sauces, whisking eggs, dips, snacks. The medium ones are good for prepping ingredients or putting out a side dish. Then the lids change the whole job again. Every bowl has its own airtight lid with a seal right around the edge, and you snap it down. So when you prep ahead or have leftovers, you are not spooning food into a second container. Food goes in the bowl, lid goes on, bowl goes in the refrigerator.
That is the part I did not expect to like as much as I do. One set doing three jobs.
The Lid Has to Come Off for the Oven
The lids do not go in the oven. The bowls are oven safe, but the lid has to be removed first, and that is the one thing on this set that is easy to skip right past. If you are baking something in the 28 or 40 ounce bowl and then want to cover it to store, the bowl has to cool before the lid goes back on anyway.
They are also porcelain. Porcelain does not forgive a drop onto a tile floor the way a plastic bowl or a metal bowl does. If your kitchen is a high traffic, kids-unloading-the-dishwasher kind of kitchen, that is worth sitting with before you buy.
Cabinet Space, and What You Are Replacing
All four bowls nest inside each other, and the four lids stack flat on top of that. The combined footprint in my cabinet is roughly the size of a single large mixing bowl, which is the entire trade you are making: one slot of space, four bowls, four matched lids.
Here is how I would think about the value. A set like this is not replacing one thing. It is replacing a mixing bowl set, a stack of plastic storage containers with mismatched lids, and a couple of serving bowls you only bring out for company. Four bowls, four matched lids, all nesting into one footprint. Check today’s price on Amazon before you decide.
Who I Would Hand These To
Anyone who cooks and then immediately needs to store what they cooked. That is the sweet spot. Same for anyone whose storage container drawer is a graveyard of lids that fit nothing.
They also make a genuinely good gift, the embossed porcelain reads expensive, and a set that mixes, stores, and serves without asking for extra containers is useful from day one in a new kitchen. I kept the set I was sent for review and already have a second one in my cart for a housewarming gift.
Who should pass: if you need big volume for bread dough or large batch baking, 40 ounces is your ceiling here, and that fills up faster than you think. And if you want something you can toss around, porcelain is not that.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are the lids dishwasher safe too, or just the bowls?
The set is listed as dishwasher safe. With any snap-on lid I would put it on the top rack to protect the seal, since that seal is the whole reason the lid works. The bowls themselves are fine wherever they fit.
Can these go in the freezer?
Yes, they are listed as freezer safe along with microwave safe. Just do not take one from the freezer straight into a hot oven. Big temperature swings are hard on ceramic.
Can I buy replacement lids if one cracks?
I have not seen lids sold separately, so treat them as part of the set. That is a real argument for washing them gently rather than wedging them between plates in the bottom rack.
Will the 40 ounce bowl work as a ramen or pasta bowl?
Yes, 40 ounces is roughly five cups, which is a generous single serving bowl. It is on the deep side rather than wide, so soup and ramen suit it better than a spread-out plated pasta.
