- Unpack: Carefully remove all bowls and lids from their retail packaging.
- Inspect: Check all components for any signs of damage or manufacturing defects.

Operating Instructions
The Ernesto mixing bowls are designed for multi-purpose use in your kitchen. Here are common applications:
Mixing and Tossing
Use the bowls for mixing ingredients for baking, preparing salads, or tossing pasta. The various sizes accommodate different quantities.

Storing and Serving
The included plastic lids allow you to store prepared foods or leftovers directly in the bowls. The airtight seal helps keep food fresh in the refrigerator or freezer. These bowls are also elegant enough to be used for serving at the table.
- Applying Lids: To ensure an airtight seal, align the lid with the rim of the bowl and press down firmly around the edges until it is securely in place.
- Removing Lids: To remove, gently lift one edge of the lid and peel it off the bowl.

Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life and maintain the appearance of your Ernesto mixing bowls.
- Cleaning: Both the stainless steel bowls and the plastic lids are dishwasher safe. For best results and to prevent water spots, hand wash with warm, soapy water and dry immediately with a soft cloth.
- Storage: The bowls are designed to nest inside each other for compact storage, saving space in your cabinets. Store lids separately or on top of the nested bowls.
- Temperature: The bowls are freezer safe and heat safe. They are not microwaveable.
- Material Care: Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the stainless steel, as this can scratch the surface.
Troubleshooting
Lids are difficult to put on or remove:
The lids are designed to create a tight, airtight seal to preserve food freshness. This can sometimes make them feel stiff or difficult to apply/remove initially.
- Application: Ensure the lid is perfectly aligned with the bowl's rim. Apply even pressure around the entire circumference of the lid, working your way around to secure it.
- Removal: To remove, find a small lip or tab on the lid (if present) or gently lift one edge with your thumb, then work your way around the rim to release the seal. Avoid pulling directly from the center.
- Temperature Effect: Plastic lids can become slightly stiffer when cold. If you are having difficulty, allow the lids to reach room temperature before attempting to apply or remove them.
