The Costco Business Center Find That Brings Stainless Steel To Your Kitchen For A Total Steal
Although it's a somewhat unusual place to find them, shoppers have discovered a line of stainless steel mixing bowls selling at their local Costco Business Center for a great price. Shopping at a Costco Business Center is similar but not identical to shopping at a regular Costco store, but in case you're wondering, any Costco member can shop at a Costco Business Center. There's no special membership fee tacked on. You just have to go to the right store to grab this deal.
The stainless steel mixing bowls being sold at Costco Business Centers appear to be available nationwide and range from 3 quarts to a hefty 13 quarts, which offers you some flexibility. The best part is they're only selling for a few dollars each. Prices may vary between locations, and it seems the online prices are a few cents higher. In a TikTok filmed in a store in California, the 3-quart bowl is selling for just $1.99, and the 13-quart bowl is a reasonable $5.49. (Online the prices are $2.59 and $6.89, respectively.)
@jayandveronica We grabbed the 3qt bowl for 1.99😝#goodfinds #kitchenhack
Seeing as how these are being sold at Costco Business Centers, it's pretty clear they are intended for commercial kitchens, but that doesn't mean you can't buy them for your home. No one's going to ask what you're using them for on the way out the door.
Are these stainless steel bowls a good choice?
Interestingly enough, the Costco Business Center website doesn't offer a review system the way its main website does, so there's no customer feedback to sift through for these mixing bowls. However, the product isn't exactly revolutionary. A mixing bowl is going to have a tough time mucking up the job. All it really needs to do is hold together, and the best way to determine if it's capable at that is by looking at the material.
These mixing bowls are made from stainless steel, which is a good quality material for this kind of cookware. Some people prefer simple glass mixing bowls, but it's far from a foregone conclusion. In any case, stainless steel mixing bowls are better than aluminum mixing bowls, the latter of which tend to react poorly when handling certain foods, such as acidic ingredients.
Costco has a reputation to uphold, so it's unlikely the store would offer a subpar product out of the blue. Not everything Costco sells is a hit, to be sure, but with something like a mixing bowl, it's a safe bet the wholesaler will get it right. With the bowls being made of a good material, the retailer being a trusted brand, and the price being as low as it is, there's no reason not to run over to your local Costco Business Center and grab however many you need.
