Review on 🌈 Introducing the New Tupperware Wonderlier Bowl Set 3 - Large Size, Fresh New Colors! by Amanda Lemons

Like many people I have an old collection of vintage Tupperware bowls, some bought, others inherited or just happened to be left over after being loaned out by others insist that I take food home with me after an event. Some of these bowls, in turn, have been lost over the years because they were loaned to others, damaged in some way, or simply lost their lids. I decided to buy a new set of Tupperware bowls and this "Wonderlier" set of bowls seemed like the obvious choice. Definitely not an economy set at around $35 but then if I wanted a cheap set of bowls I would buy anything they sell at the hardware store or grocery store. I wanted something that was good quality and something that was well designed, well made, of high quality and suitable plastic and something that would last a long time. Others have commented on the dimensions of these bowls, but often with some uncertainty or inconsistency. The Tupperware website says they have a capacity of 6 cups (1.4 liters) for the small bowl, 8-3/4 cups (2.1 liters) for the medium bowl, and 12 cups (2.8 liters) have for the big bowl. . I filled them to the brim with water using a measuring cup and the Tupperware amounts listed are correct. However, if you fill the bowl that far, you will have a hard time closing the lid. I think you need to reduce the capacity of each bowl by at least a cup or two to get a practical capacity. But I will say that nowhere on the shells is their capacity indicated, and I think that this is a serious mistake by Tupperware. Some have commented that these shells are "transparent" in the sense that one can see through them. I would not agree. They're not completely opaque, and if you hold them up to a bright light you can see the general fill level of the contents, but you can't really see what's inside unless you remove the lids. The color of the shell is beautiful. enough, but somehow they look cheap. I think the combination of color and plastic texture was more appealing on my old bowls than on this set. On the Tupperware website, the colors are listed as Salsa Verde (green salsa) for the small bowl, Tropical Water for the medium bowl (I'd call it "Teal"), and Purple Daisy for the large bowl. The ergonomics of the bowls are fine. , nothing special. The raised protruding ring under the rim of the bowl gives you room to hook your fingers when carrying. The plastic surface is fairly smooth and can be slippery when the shells or your hands are wet. The lids are VERY tight and appear to be fairly watertight, at least enough to prevent spills if the bowls tip over or if you're carrying liquid food inside while driving or carrying around. Although I have experience with other vintage Tupperware bowls and their various ways of attaching lids, I initially had trouble putting these lids on. With some other Tupperware bowls, you placed the lid on the rim and pressed down on the center of the lid and they just snapped into place. For other shells, snap them into the quadrants with your thumbs. With these cups, it's more like putting a tire back on a bicycle rim; Start by placing the cap in one spot on the rim, then press firmly with your thumbs and move those thumbs along the edges of the rim until they meet again on the opposite side. If you try another technique you will find that the rim never clicks. In this respect, a small shell was much more difficult for me than a medium and a large one, probably because the rigidity and thickness of the plastic are the same, but the curvature is different. At first I really thought my little bowl lid was defective and tried to ask Tupperware for advice; I got nowhere with them, disillusioned with what good company should be. This was another comment on Revain that led me to a technique that finally worked for these lids. Each cap has a large tab that can be grasped and pulled to "break" the brim at the brim and remove the cap. I think it would be difficult to remove these lids simply by grabbing the edges with your fingernails. Tupperware's website says these bowls are dishwasher safe but not that they are microwave safe and I doubt they are.
