Mixing Bowl Set (10-pc.) by Anchor Hocking

I've been looking for a bargain on a set of nesting mixing bowls for a long time, and was pleased to find this one. When it arrived, however, I discovered that one of the bowl--about the fourth one down--was smashed to smithereens. I planned o return the whole set, but time and aggressive recycling in my household made it tough to pull all the materials together. I tossed the shards of the broken bowl and happy with the rest, though after all this time of making do with whatever I could find, I don't know when I'll use them all

Bowls are not deep enough to use a mixer, yet they are called mixing bowls. There is not enough info to indicate that they are better suited for serving food, and they are too heavy to return, costing too much for shipment costs coming and returning than the set costs. Very disappointed. Why can't I find true mixing bowls in glass anymore?

Some of the smaller bowls were broken, glass seems rather thin.

I received this set that was very well packaged for shipment but with a broken piece on the ridge of one of the middle sized bowls in the set. It appears to have been broken prior to shipment, because the piece of glass scratched adjacent bowls and looked as if it had been that way for a while, because of the grandularity of the piece that broke. Regardless, I was surprised that the glass itself would have been that easy to mare and would expect it to be a better perhaps thicker glass construct. For a mixing bowl, it is expected to take somewhat of a beating, as opposed to serving dishes. I also noticed the glass itself was mottled on one of the bowls (giving a prism effect). I am not a glass expert, but something was definitely wrong with this batch of product. Cooking.com promptly refunded my purchase, and they did stand behind their satisfaction guarantee.

I've just started using these bowls, so far so good. Easy to store, and great to look at.
