Stainless steel bowls are a popular choice for their durability and resistance to odors and stains. They're lightweight, easy to clean, and can double as a double boiler in a pinch. However, keep in mind that they're not microwave-safe and can be noisy during use.
Glass and Ceramic Bowls
Glass and ceramic bowls are microwave-safe, which is perfect for melting ingredients or reheating food. They also come in a variety of colors and patterns, adding a decorative touch to your kitchen. The downside is that they can be heavy and are more prone to breaking if dropped.
Plastic Bowls
Plastic bowls are a budget-friendly option and often come with lids. They're also lightweight and won’t shatter easily. However, they may absorb odors and stains over time and may not hold up to direct heat or sharp utensils.
