Costco's Colorful 5-Piece Bowl Set Is an Effortless Way to Brighten Up Your Kitchen
I don't know who decided it was a good idea to make kitchen basics more colorful, but I appreciate them. Think about how many of your childhood memories involve that bright red ceramic bowl your mom used for making brownies, or the retro Tupperware colors that were everywhere in your home, from the fridge to kitchen cabinets.
Basic stainless steel and black cast iron might dominate restaurant kitchens, but at home, it's all about pumping yourself up to make another weeknight meal with something that has a little personality. Maybe that means cozy cottagecore plates or even pretty dish towels; either way, everyone can use a dopamine hit while cooking, even if you're just cracking open a box of mac and cheese.

Pandex 5-Piece Melamine Bowl Set with Lids, $24.99 at Costco
Costco is selling the happiest five-piece melamine bowl set with accompanying lids. It's truly a rainbow of color for your kitchen, with the multi-colorway consisting of red, orange, yellow, green and blue bowls in varying sizes. Some are perfect for mixing, others are great for serving, and still others are ideal for a big bowl of cereal or a late-night snack.
I really love that these are made of melamine because that means they can go from your kitchen to an outdoor picnic or patio hangout without worrying about ceramic or glass shattering.

Melamine is a durable, lightweight plastic commonly used for plates, bowls, serving trays and other kitchenware. Unlike ceramic or glass, it's highly resistant to chips, cracks and breaks, making it a practical choice for families with kids and everyday use.
This set also comes in a blue colorway, consisting of three bowls in varying shades of blue, a random yellow bowl (how'd that guy get in there?), and a white bowl.
While the borders of each lid match the color of the bowl it accompanies, the very tops of the lids are clear so you can see what's inside without opening them. That's a nice little feature to help control any refrigerator chaos.
The bowls are also dishwasher-safe, another welcome attribute, but remember to only put the lids in the top rack of the machine, or they can warp. Bowls are fine to go on the bottom rack of the dishwasher. The more you know.
