The best mixing bowls allow you to whip, fold, and mix a variety of ingredients, are anti-slip, and may even hold a few extra features like handles, pour spouts, or lids that allow them to double up as food storage containers, and if you're lucky they're pretty enough to function as serving dishes too. If your current mixing bowls can't check off any of these boxes, then it's time for an upgrade.

Make sure to consider your needs, if you are an avid baker who spends most of their free time in the kitchen, you might need a set of bowls in different sizes. If you are more casual you may opt for one more decorative bowl that you can keep on the counter. You may like the look of metal, versus glass or ceramic. So make sure to think about what works best for your home before buying. Here's are our picks of the most functional mixing bowls.
