What you're actually getting
Five bowls, stainless steel, each with a lid. That's the pitch. No clever branding, no colour gradient, just proper utilitarian kitchen kit at a price that barely registers on your bank statement. The HotUKDeals community pushed this to nearly 800 degrees of heat, which usually means people actually bought it and weren't disappointed rather than just clicking the fire button out of habit.
Stainless steel is genuinely good for food storage in ways plastic isn't. No lingering tomato sauce smell after a week. No micro-scratches turning the whole thing cloudy and slightly grim. You can go fridge to hob without thinking too hard about it. My mate keeps a set like this specifically for prepping lunches on Sunday nights, and the main thing he says is he just stopped losing lids, because they all fit each other.
Who this is actually for
Honestly, this is a set for someone sorting out their kitchen basics, not upgrading them. If you're already running glass Pyrex or a matching set you love, no particular reason to bother. But if you're renting, setting up a first kitchen, or just tired of the melted-corner plastic situation most of us quietly tolerate, six quid for five bowls with lids is a no-brainer.
One reservation: the lids are almost certainly plastic, which is fine for cold storage but means you're not going full stainless all the way. Not a dealbreaker at this price, but worth knowing before you get carried away imagining some sort of zero-plastic setup.
