I love how they nest into my plastic KitchenAid batter bowl, I highly recommend purchasing the batter bowl too. Lettering much better than my old set of chunky and poor nesting Good Cooks brand, instantly readable.Very well balanced, not a bit tippy as the narrow profile is why I hesitated to try them, handle comfortable and stays cool after boiling water in the microwave. Love the color coding to know which size I am grabbing. Perhaps this is made from a different plastic than I have had used in the past, but I do find this type of clear hard plastic gets brittle and lettering fades if put in the dishwasher, so these are very easy to wash by hand, no tight crevices. Very sturdy and solid, can be knocked about accidentally with no fear for breaking or damaging.
