8-Pc Microwave Cookware & Glass Food Storage Set with Glass Lids | Plastic-Free Containers | Stackable Airtight Steamer with Vented Lid for Microwave-Safe Reheating & Steaming Vegetables, Rice

This bowl can go from the microwave to cook to putting leftovers in the fridge to be reheated later. I love my bowl. I can steam my vegetables with ease. Trust me you won’t regret buying this. At least I haven’t!!! I bought it when it was $27.00. I see it has almost doubled in price since I bought it. It was definitely a steal then.

I bought this because I started looking at the ads for it. I thought the concept sounded really interesting and plausible. Theoretically, there should be no reason why you couldn't cook in a microwave. It just heats using a different mechanism than the oven does. Instead of direct heat, you get wet heat. You cook through oscillating water molecules. I know conceptually steaming food is also healthier than frying. You can trap more nutrients in. So, I was all in.I bought a set and I am glad I did. Honestly though, I probably could have gotten away with just getting the medium deep dish or shallow dish. Most recipes require one or the other. I have been lately obsessed with the AnyDay Shashuka recipe. It is on their website. I have made it several times now. Several times for myself and several times for others.Now, it does take some experimentation. I think that's true with any cooking technique. To really perfect use of it, you need to see how it performs in your particular microwave. Each microwave has different settings and their calibrations can wildly vary. I learned that I need to cook a bit longer to achieve the right visual consistency that I am looking for. After a couple of practice attempts, I got the recipe down to a spot where I really cook to what I like. What the AnyDay bowl does though is help achieve consistency, it traps the steam in and has a clever valve to release it when needed. Because gas fills a space evenly, you get really nice even cooking as long as you chopped up everything equally. That's just standard cooking norms. You want to have homogeneity in anything you cook so everything is even. Then, you cook in layers.Long story short, you can have a lot of fun in the microwave. It is easy to clean up. It cooks very quickly because you are using steam to cook (aka boiling gas). Clean up is simple and its easy to transport. You eat out of the bowl you cooked in. I give this a 5 star!

Pricey tho. Definitely pricey. If I'm paying shipping then they should be charging far less, if you aren't serious about convenient cookware, then wait for the market to pick up more of these and drive down prices.

Truly worth buying the entire set!

I love that it's microwave-safe, letting me effortlessly reheat or cook food directly in the dish. No more hassle of transferring to another container
