What Customers Ask About Nest 9 Plus Sky Blue Set
What's included in the Nest 9 Plus set?
The set includes 9 pieces total: a 4.5L large mixing bowl, 3L colander, 1.65L stainless-steel mesh sieve, 0.5L small mixing bowl with measurements, and 5 measuring cups (1 cup/250ml, ½ cup/125ml, ⅓ cup/85ml, ¼ cup/60ml, and 1 teaspoon/5ml). All pieces nest together for compact storage when not in use.
How does the nesting design work?
Each piece is designed to stack inside the others, creating a compact nested set that takes up significantly less cupboard space than storing the items separately. The largest bowl (4.5L) forms the outer container, with progressively smaller items nesting inside—colander, sieve, small bowl, and finally the measuring cups snap together and fit inside. The entire set measures just H14.5 x W28.5 x D28.5cm when nested.
Are these dishwasher safe?
Yes, all pieces in the Nest 9 Plus set are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning. However, they are not microwave safe. The set is also BPA free, ensuring safe food contact for all your food preparation needs.
Does the small mixing bowl have measurements?
Yes, the 0.5L (500ml) small mixing bowl includes both metric (ml) and imperial (fl.oz) measurements marked inside. This added convenience allows you to measure ingredients directly in the bowl without needing separate measuring jugs for liquids, streamlining your food preparation process.
What are the non-slip bases made of?
The mixing bowls feature non-slip bases that provide stability during mixing, whisking, and food preparation. This prevents the bowls from sliding across worktops when you're working vigorously. Combined with the wide polypropylene handles, these features make the bowls secure and easy to control whilst preparing food.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash all pieces in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before nesting together for storage. This removes any manufacturing residue and prepares the items for food contact.
Daily use: Select the appropriate bowl, colander, sieve, or measuring cup for your task. The non-slip bases on the mixing bowls provide stability during use. The wide handles offer secure grip for lifting, carrying, and pouring. Use the pouring spout on the large bowl for controlled transfer of batters, dressings, or other liquids.
Using the measuring cups: The measuring cups snap together for storage but separate easily for individual use. Measure dry ingredients level with a knife edge for accuracy. For liquids, place on a flat surface and check at eye level. The cups range from 1 teaspoon (5ml) for small quantities up to 1 cup (250ml) for larger measurements.
Using the small bowl measurements: The 0.5L mixing bowl features metric and imperial measurements marked inside. This eliminates the need for a separate measuring jug when working with liquids. Place on a flat surface and check at eye level for accurate measurement.
Dishwasher cleaning: All pieces are dishwasher safe. Load securely to prevent items from moving during the wash cycle. The stainless-steel mesh sieve can be placed in the cutlery basket or on the top rack. Ensure all food residue is removed before washing to prevent clogging the sieve mesh.
Hand washing: If preferred, hand wash in warm soapy water. Pay particular attention to the sieve mesh—use a soft brush to remove any trapped food particles. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before nesting for storage.
Not microwave safe: Do not place any pieces from this set in the microwave. The plastic material is not designed for microwave use and could warp or melt. Use microwave-safe containers for heating food.
Storage: Nest all pieces together for compact storage. Start with the large 4.5L bowl as the outer container. Place the colander inside, then the sieve, then the small bowl. Snap the measuring cups together and place them inside the small bowl. The entire nested set occupies minimal cupboard space—approximately H14.5 x W28.5 x D28.5cm.
Stain prevention: Whilst the plastic is durable, strongly pigmented foods like tomato sauce, curry, or beetroot may cause staining over time. Rinse items promptly after use with such foods. The staining is cosmetic and doesn't affect functionality or food safety.
Avoiding damage: Don't use sharp knives or metal utensils directly in the bowls, as these can scratch the plastic. Avoid exposure to extreme heat beyond normal dishwasher temperatures. Don't use abrasive scourers on the plastic surfaces—soft cloths or sponges are sufficient for cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm not satisfied with the set?
Return it to us, even if you've used it for cooking and food preparation. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items—if it doesn't meet your needs or expectations, we'll refund you in full. This applies whether you've tested a few pieces or used the entire set.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage any piece in the set (for example, cracking a bowl or damaging the sieve), we'll replace it at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable. This guarantee provides peace of mind for everyday kitchen use.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Is this set suitable as a gift?
Yes, the Nest 9 Plus set is presented in a giftable box, making it ideal for housewarmings, weddings, or anyone who loves spending time in the kitchen. The Sky Blue Editions colourway features calming dusty blue, azure, and cumulus grey tones that complement modern kitchen décor. The space-saving design makes it particularly appreciated by those with smaller kitchens or limited storage.
Can I buy individual replacement pieces?
Nest sets are typically sold as complete sets rather than individual pieces. If you need to replace a damaged item, contact us—we may be able to help source specific pieces from Joseph Joseph or advise on the best solution. The Half-Price Replacement guarantee provides an economical way to replace damaged pieces.
Do the measuring cups snap together?
Yes, the 5 measuring cups snap together securely for storage. This keeps them organized within the nested set and prevents them from separating or getting lost in your cupboard or drawer. They detach easily when needed for individual use.
What's the benefit of the pouring spout?
The large 4.5L mixing bowl includes a handy pouring spout that allows controlled, drip-free pouring of batters, pancake mix, salad dressings, or other liquids. Combined with the wide handles that provide secure grip, this makes transferring mixtures from bowl to pan or storage container easier and neater, reducing mess and waste.
Will the colours fade over time?
The Sky Blue Editions colourway is designed to maintain its appearance with proper care. Dishwasher cleaning and normal use shouldn't cause significant fading. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extremely high temperatures beyond normal dishwasher cycles may affect colour intensity over time. Store in cupboards away from direct sunlight to maintain the colours' vibrancy.
How much cupboard space does this save?
When nested together, the entire 9-piece set occupies just H14.5 x W28.5 x D28.5cm—approximately the space of one large mixing bowl. If stored separately, these 9 items would require significantly more cupboard space. The space-saving design is particularly valuable in smaller kitchens, student accommodations, or when downsizing.
Is the sieve fine enough for sifting flour?
Yes, the 1.65L stainless-steel mesh sieve features fine mesh suitable for sifting flour, icing sugar, and cocoa powder. It also works well for straining sauces, rinsing rice and quinoa, and draining small pasta shapes. The stainless-steel construction provides durability and resists staining from foods.
Can I use these bowls for hot foods?
The polypropylene plastic can handle warm foods, but avoid extremely hot items or liquids straight from the hob or boiling. The bowls are not microwave safe. Allow very hot foods to cool slightly before transferring to the bowls. For mixing hot ingredients during cooking, use heat-resistant mixing bowls instead.
Are the measurements on the small bowl permanent?
The metric and imperial measurements are moulded or printed into the small bowl's interior. With proper care and avoiding abrasive cleaners, these markings should remain visible for the bowl's lifetime. If markings fade slightly over many years of use, they typically remain readable enough for practical measurement purposes.
