Joseph Joseph Nest 9 Plus (Multi Color Set)

I have come to love and rely on this brand of kitchenware, having yet to purchase anything Joseph Joseph that is not great!!! This set consist of 9 staple kitchen items, as appose to alot of kitchen sets that come with a few key useful items and then throw in some extra dust gathering gadgets that only add to your already huge heap of unused kitchenware. A nice large mixing/serving bowl, a medium round colander, a tad smaller mesh strainer bowl, a small mixing bowl with a pour spout and a nice set of measuring cups. Every piece is durable, functional and made with the quality I have come to expect from this brand, and it all stacks together and only takes up the space of one mixing bowl. This set stacks very nicely, all the pieces fit perfectly and stays together even when moving it around. The measuring cups sort of snap together, so they would stay lock together even if you wanted to store them separately in a drawer or elsewhere. This set would be nice enough and a great value with those features that I listed alone, but what makes it exceptional and one of the things I love about this brand is the little extra features that add to the functionality and ease of use. The handles of each piece double as the stacking point for this set and the handles are a perfect size, being large enough to get a good hold but not overly large to add a cumbersome side profile that takes up alot of extra space. The handles are also wider then typical and slightly angle down, very nice design. The measuring cups have wide squared open middle handles that are very nice as well. The bottom of the large mixing bowl also has a rubber bottom to keep it from slipping while in use. Overall this a great set, very useful. I would definitely recommend. Would make a nice gift as well, as a matter of fact, a friend is in the process of purchasing a new home and plans to remodel the kitchen using bright colors like I have in mine. She has commented on some of my Joseph brand items, so this is what I am purchasing for her house warming gift, several of the Joseph items I have and love.
