The cheapest of the bowl sets was also the best single-size set, nicely containing and emptying ingredients of different sizes and textures. Each 6-ounce bowl was wide, shallow, smooth, and substantial, as these were the heaviest of the glass bowls we tested. A small lip on the outside of the bowls made them comfortable to grip. Lids for the bowls can be purchased separately.

Formaticum Cheese Bags
Ease of Use
Performance
These 11 by 6½-inch wax-coated bags resemble bakery bags, but their insides have the same porous plastic layer used in Formaticum Cheese Paper. The bags kept Brie, cheddar, and goat cheeses free of mold and dryness for three weeks, letting the cheddar dry out just slightly in the fourth week. Slightly more convenient to use than the cheese paper, the bags didn’t need stickers to seal: We just folded over the ends a few times to close them.
