Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Norpro Silicone Mini Pinch Bowls, 4 Piece Set
Customer Review: Perfect for the bento box!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to admit, I didn't know these were measuring cups. After forcing my husband to buy a bento box (ASIN: B000246GSE), I found that I became hooked on packing it everyday. It works out for both of us, he's been dropping weight, while I've been emptying our fridge, and we're saving money every month. And not to mention, his coworkers get jealous when they have to run out to get food and he can eat in his office. When looking through the bento porn pictures on flickr, I saw that people used something to separate food in their bento boxes. I found some things online, but while browsing the Target I found these little cups. They are awesome.
As far as the bento's concerned, they're short enough to allow the lid on the smallest container. I use them everyday - for when I add dressing, cocktail sauce, or marinated olives - to keep these things separated from whatever else is in the container. And I just throw them into the dishwasher to clean. Highly recommended.
Customer Review: Versatile little bowls
Summary: 5 Stars
I have 2 sets of these little bowls. I keep one in the laundry room to measure liquid detergent & fabric softener. They are the perfect size (2T) for measuring detergent for my front loader. I measure the detergent, then toss them in with the laundry so they stay clean & gunk free. It doesn't matter if one gets stuck in a pocket or somewhere & goes in the dryer either.
I use the kitchen set to measure all kinds of things. They are great little prep bowls. They are sturdy & have traveled well through many, many dishwasher cycles. I've had one set over a year & use it regularly. The only issue I've seen is with the one that fell through the rack in the dishwasher & stayed on the element in the bottom. It's got a burnt ring around it, but it didn't burn through so it's still basically usable.
For the price, you can't get a better prep/pinch bowl, or a better laundry detergent measurer.
Customer Review: Very colorful and handy, but tippy and smaller than expected
Summary: 3 Stars
Very colorful and decent for prep and serving small kids. Bright colors are nice and food colors don't seem to transfer to the bowls.
My complaint is that the bases are too small and consequently they tip over very easily. That's OK for Ketchup, not so good for soy sauce. If you flip them inside out it gives them a wider base which helps.
Someone mentioned that they break eggs into these - I find that hard to imagine as these are rather small. We have some stainless mini bowls which are almost an inch larger in diameter (but shallower) which makes them a little more handy (though you can't flex them of course)
I purchased two sets and I think in hindsight I think given the size I only needed one...

Customer Review: Magic Cups
Summary: 5 Stars
These cups are magic. They suction perfectly to your body with the right pressure; the resulting 'cuppage' is both relaxing and soothing. A smal gentle tug from the suction increases blood circulation and relieves stress.
Within days the cups were out of the kitchen and into the living room, as the whole house began suctioning the cups to their bodies with various relaxing results. It feels like an Aspen spa, right in your living room!
Got a headache? Cup to the forehead.
Your leg sore from that long jog? Cup to the Leg.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome acting up? Cup to the hand.
Let your imagination soar, and buy these excellent Norpro cups and join the 'cupping' revolution.
Customer Review: Cute and oh so handy
Summary: 5 Stars
I know these mini bowls don't dominate anyone's kitchen but they sure are handy for adding spices, etc. I've got them in the cabinet next to the stove and find myself reaching for them all the time. I also use them to collect 4 days worth of vitamins to put in individual bags for me to take. They are just an all around good addition to anyone's kitchen. I hand wash them because I do that for all my plastic or silicone things and they are perfect.
Like I said, not a necessity for everyone but they sure have come in more handy than I ever thought they would. I live alone so make things in smaller amounts and these help especially when I'm making an Indian dish with a variety of spices.
