Do not purchase the insulated bowls. The lids hold water. I bought as a Christmas gift for my mother in law. She doesn't cook very often and has only used 3-4 times. The lid has water in it. There are no instructions not to submerge etc. she has tried to sit in the sun to no avail.
Needless to say, they will not replace it because it's been over a year. They told me I can purchase one.
I have sooo much Pampered Chef products you would think I am a consultant but no more. Very poor design and the customer certainly pays for it.
