These stacked bowls were a gift--requested Cuisinart due to consistent product (any product) quality and durability. These bowls are heavier than most, thus stable on the counter and during mixing. I love the largest one--perfect for large quantities mixing, salads, veggies, cakes! They're also beautiful. I do not was in the dishwasher--they swish out like a dream, too. I did try the smaller top cover in the dishwasher (we have HOT water, longer cycle). I choose not to do that again, only because I want to keep them pliable. I've never NOT been happy with a Cuisinart product.
