Joseph Joseph Nest 9 Plus Multicolour is a food-preparation set for a kitchen where bowls, strainers and measuring cups compete for the same cupboard shelf. Its reason to exist is not that nine pieces make you a better cook: it brings a 4.5L bowl, 3L colander, 1.65L sieve, 0.5L bowl and five measuring cups into one nested storage footprint. The meaningful question is whether you need those functions together, and can live with unpacking them before a cooking session.
Kitchen Shop Malaysia displayed RM367.20 and in-stock availability for the complete Multicolour set on 13 October 2026. RM459.00 was the crossed-out reference price, not another current offer. This is one verified Malaysian quotation, rather than a surveyed market-wide price range. At that amount, buy it to replace a disorganised preparation kit, not simply to add a colourful bowl to tools you already like. This article evaluates documented specifications and buying conditions; it is not a hands-on durability or measuring-accuracy test.
Confirm the nine-piece Multicolour variant
The manufacturer’s Multicolour product number is 40031; Kitchen Shop identifies its offer as JJ400311. The colourway, contents, dimensions and catalogue photograph correspond. Do not mistake the retailer code for a second manufacturer model, or assume another Nest collection is the same package. This review is specifically Joseph Joseph Nest 9 Plus Multicolour, not a stainless-steel bowl set, food-storage container collection or utensils bundle.
The published stored dimensions are H14.5 × W28.5 × D28.5cm. Measure the shelf opening as well as the shelf itself: a nominal 28.5cm width leaves no room for your hand or a cupboard hinge intruding into the opening. The set still occupies a bowl-sized footprint; nesting saves the additional space of separately stored components, not the entire area of your shelf. A low shelf that admits the assembled stack may nevertheless make lifting it awkward.
How the components change preparation
The 4.5L outer bowl has wide carry handles and a non-slip base. That gives it a clear role for mixing and moving ingredients, with grip points that are different from holding a plain bowl rim. The non-slip description is not a promise that it cannot move on a wet counter or during vigorous kneading. Its capacity also does not establish a safe hand-mixer attachment clearance, an exact flour load or an ability to support heavy dough: none of those limits was established in the sources.
The 3L colander and 1.65L stainless-steel mesh sieve serve different jobs. A colander is useful for bulk draining, while a finer mesh can separate smaller particles when a recipe requires sieving. Having both is more useful than counting them as interchangeable strainers. The catalogue does not provide a mesh aperture measurement, so this is not a guarantee of retaining every grain or producing a particular flour texture. Nor did we establish a sink-spanning support design: plan to handle the component rather than assuming it bridges your sink.
The 0.5L small bowl has internal ml/fl.oz measurements and a pouring spout. That makes it a convenient place to prepare a small liquid component and transfer it into the large bowl without using the large bowl for every minor task. Published capacity is not the same as a comfortable spill-free fill level, especially if you need to carry liquid across the kitchen. Read the markings and leave headroom rather than filling to the rim.
Five measuring cups complete the package. Before buying for baking, ask for a clear photograph of their actual markings if your recipes depend on a particular cup standard. The opened product descriptions confirm five cups but do not establish every individual volume or calibration tolerance. A measuring cup is also not a gram scale: flour, sugar and chopped ingredients can occupy the same volume while having different masses. Keep a kitchen scale if your recipes specify weight.
Pros: storage efficiency with genuine separate functions
- One nested stack keeps two bowls, two kinds of strainer and five cups together, which is valuable when cupboard space is the problem.
- The large bowl’s handles and non-slip base address handling, while the small bowl’s graduations and spout address portion preparation.
- The mesh sieve adds a fine-straining function that a colander alone does not supply.
- The documented 28.5cm footprint gives you a concrete shelf-fit check before ordering.
The best buyer is someone setting up a compact cooking space who regularly measures, mixes and drains ingredients. For that person, the benefit is a coordinated preparation station rather than nine arbitrary objects. It is less compelling for a cook who only needs one replacement colander: the other pieces become an expensive storage obligation.
Cons: compact storage requires a reset routine
Nesting is a storage arrangement, not an automatic cleaning system. To retrieve a lower component you need to remove the pieces above it, and all pieces must be clean and dry before you rebuild the stack. When several dishes are being prepared at once, the components spread across the worktop; the stored dimensions no longer describe working space. If you dislike rearranging tools, separate bowls may be easier to grab even though they occupy more cupboard space.
Joseph Joseph states dishwasher safe and not microwave safe, and Kitchen Shop repeats those instructions. Do not treat the small bowl as a reheating container just because it holds a convenient portion. We found no verified oven, direct-flame or boiling-water exposure rating for this particular set, so do not extend the dishwasher instruction into unrelated heat claims. Follow the delivered instructions for cleaning and temperature limits. A sieve also deserves attention around its mesh and rim, where food residue can remain.
There are no food-storage lids in the documented contents. This set is therefore a poor substitute for sealed meal-prep containers, and it does not solve refrigerator stacking, leakproof commuting or pest-proof dry storage. Those are different buying decisions. Buyers wanting metal mixing bowls, a microwaveable vessel or a single professional-grade fine sieve should avoid paying for this complete package unless its other functions are genuinely needed.
Malaysia delivery and warranty: check the landed cost
The local product page showed five items remaining when checked. That is a retailer stock indication, not a reserved unit or a guarantee of supply when you open the link later. Reconfirm the complete Multicolour nine-piece package and current final price before paying; a replacement cup or a different colourway is not the reviewed offer. The maker’s overseas GBP price and UK delivery information were not used as Malaysian buying evidence.
Kitchen Shop’s shipping policy, checked on the same date, says orders are processed within 2–14 business days and delivery may take up to 14 working days depending on the courier. Its free-shipping promotion applies to West Malaysia, not automatically to Kuching. East Malaysia charges depend on actual or volumetric weight, whichever is higher. We did not obtain a packed weight or a postcode-specific quote, so the RM367.20 merchandise price is not a delivered Sarawak total. A bulky nested set can make parcel dimensions matter even when it is not especially heavy.
The retailer’s general warranty policy requires valid proof of purchase and domestic use, and excludes normal wear, misuse and failure to follow instructions. It also assigns return shipping to the customer. However, the opened product and policy pages did not establish a specific warranty duration or exact component coverage for 40031. Ask for written confirmation of eligibility, the mesh/handles/base coverage and the claims procedure; do not assume the site’s general warranty badge means every piece has an unconditional fixed-year guarantee.
Verdict: buy for a complete preparation kit, not colour alone
At the verified RM367.20 offer, Joseph Joseph Nest 9 Plus Multicolour makes sense if you need the bowl, colander, fine sieve and measuring functions together and have a shelf that comfortably clears its 28.5cm footprint. Its strength is organised multi-function storage; its trade-off is unpacking and drying a coordinated stack. I would choose it when building a compact preparation kit, after confirming local warranty and the delivered price. I would skip it if my existing bowls work well, if reheating or sealed food storage is the actual need, or if I only want one inexpensive strainer.
