Whether you are a kitchen expert or a chef in training, it never fails. You’re scrambling around your kitchen storage looking for that perfect bowl to set-up your ingredients, create your mise en place or stage your side add-ons. Many of us end up with an island of misfit bowls to prepare and display.

Cambro fanatics have discovered that these diminutive yet practical swirl bowls are staples you will want to put on repeat and always keep on hand in your kitchen. These indispensable bowls are at last receiving the recognition they deserve and a rightful upgrade in our kitchen book.   

Out of This Swirl

If it’s true that we eat with our eyes, professional cooks would say they prep with their hearts. After all, the fun is in the process of seeing it all come together. Now, you can bring these bowls to back-of-the-house activity and do more than simply serve ice cream sundaes, yogurt or fresh fruit. These user-friendly, easy to handle bowls are unbreakable and stack nicely for convenient storage. If you run a culinary school, these can also be put to use to train your students on organizing prep ingredients, proper portioning and staging.  

Our audience has spoken and here are other inventive ways our fanatics are using these bowls. 50 ways to be exact…but I’m sure we could turn this into a series if we had our way.
