Pourable Dura-Bowls

A good stainless steel bowl is invaluable to the cook. It works well for so many tasks. These three bowls are what I’d call “BFLs”--bowls for life. What could be more handy than a stainless bowl from which you can pour? What’s more, each bowl has cup measurements inside, so that as you fill one with, say, flour, the bowl doubles as measuring cup. The small bowl is a 4-cupper, the medium a 6, the largest holds 10 cups.
