Before I started writing about kitchen products for a living, I was actually using kitchen products for a living — as a baker, that is. And while I'm no longer whipping up cakes or bread before sunrise, I still love to bake at home. To put it mildly, I've used alot of mixing bowls in my life, and having tried everything from plastic to glass, I can honestly say metal is where it's at. It's sturdy, easy to clean and — best of all — won't shatter into a zillion pieces if I accidentally knock it off the counter. If you're in the market for a new set, might I suggest these Vesteel Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls with Lids? A set of five is a mere $20 during Walmart's early Holiday Deals sale.

Available in five colors, this small yet mighty 6-speed hand mixer features a turbo function, giving you some extra power when you're tackling thick doughs and batters or whipping cream. It comes with two chrome beaters, two dough hooks, a stainless steel whisk attachment and a handy accessories case for storing everything.

"This little mixer is amazing!" gushed a reviewer. "It had absolutely no problems mixing up my cookie dough and my mashed potatoes turned out perfectly. Highly recommend!"
