Anyday bowls are made of durable frosted borosilicate glass, a thermal-shock-resistant material that can withstand wide temperature fluctuations. In it, you can cook meals in the microwave or bake or roast them in the oven up to 500 degrees F without its lid. The lid can withstand oven heat up to 400 degrees F. Additionally, you can eat your cooked food out of the dish and then store any leftovers in the freezer within the very same dish. In fact, the microwave to table to a freezer in a single dish is its great appeal. Anyday dishes are also dishwasher safe.
A silicone knob on the lid lets a little steam escape during microwaving while a silicone gasket in the lid traps the rest of the steam for even cooking. Another innovative feature is its knob can be pushed down to create a vacuum keeping your meal warm.
What's more, Anyday cookware is designed to use steam technology to cook meals faster than usual. Proteins, vegetables, and grains -- foods that normally cook unevenly in the microwave instead cook evenly.
The dishes are airtight and leakproof making them ideal to carry your contribution to cookouts. Plus, nobody will ask if you want it back as they sometimes do with Tupperware. Btw: whichever receptacle you take the food in, the answer is always, "Yes, of course!"😛
So what do I think of buying them? I'm tempted by the from-microwaving-to-eating-to-freezing-to-washing all in a single dish convenience. However, I'd avoid purchasing the sets. We rarely use entire sets of cookware. Frequently one size gets used while the rest stays idle. You are just not going to start cooking all your meals in a microwave and probably already own adequate cookware that chefs recommend for different types of cooking and baking, such as stainless steel or a cast iron skillet, etc.
Enthusiasm over new technology can easily lead to waste and spending more than you should. Start with one bowl, which may be all you'll ever use ... then add another size if needed.
