"I recently purchased this set for my VERY picky daughter as a Christmas gift. Less than a week later, (after I hid the C&B box), she was browsing through my catalog and said this set was exactly what she meant when she asked for mixing bowls because she didn't want the "cheap plastic ones". I've shopped for a good set for several months and this is BY FAR the best value I've seen. Plus, the C&B box will appeal to "picky" people looking for a quality name!"
