Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I was given this attractive set and I really love the concept. It contains everything I need for cooking - small and large mixing bowls (the smaller one also has measuring marks) 2 kinds of strainers and a set of measuring cups. Because space is very limited in our house I love the way they stack up. However, the first thing my husband did was to strain pasta through the nylon sieve and so it shrank meaning that nothing stacked up nicely any more. Because I need the bigger items far more often then the measuring cups, the cups just ended up getting in the way. I would have loved the option of hanging them but the smallest cup does not have a loop in the handle like the other cups do. I ended up putting them in the toy box. The other thing that really bothers me is that none of it is microwavable. I think it is a very beautiful looking set but I wish they had put a little more thought into the functional aspect.
