Well, I just discovered a new use for prep bowls and I need more!

I haven't done a puzzle in YEARS so I grabbed a puzzle at the store to do with the kids...well dumb me, I grab a 1000 piece puzzle with little pieces.

So, we are sorting out our edges and other sections into prep bowls. Works well, except I don't have enough for 1000 pieces!
 
Good luck with that!
