If you've ever watched a cooking show, you'll notice they have these little glass or SS containers with each ingredient, both to save time and be better organized. The French call this mise en place ie "putting in place."
So I began checking around for these little mise dishes while at various stores and while thinking about it. Pyrex and the white porcelain nesting bowls are a bit over-kill and too $$$$.
Recently while walking around IKEA though and thinking, I noticed they had inexpensive sets of small, glass dishes sold as 'votive holders'. Not only are they cheap, but you receive several in a package.
I found the tiny GLIMMA votive holders perfect for the small stuff, plus you get 6 for $2. The larger GALEJ are great as a size step up. They're 4 for $2. I found another small glass over in the kitchen dept called POKAL that is sculpted and looks nice. For the grand sum of 6 glasses for $3.
Not only can you get your mise en place, but inexpensively as well!
