Glass bowls for kitchen prep, snack, dessert, dips. Chefs like to have pinch bowls handy while they are cooking so they can have a number of ingredients 'at the ready' so they don't have to hunt for them while they are cooking. If you are a chef, host or hostess, sports enthusiast, or parent/grandparent you may be surprised to find pinch bowls to have a lot of handy uses. They really are lovely little things that, strange as it may sound, will bring you joy with their functionality, ease of use, and cleaning - and they take up very little space.
