DOWAN8.5" Pasta Bowls, 32oz Salad Bowls Set of 6, Natural White Ceramic Serving Bowls, Porcelain Plate Bowl Serving Dish Shallow Bowls Set for Kitchen, Microwave Dishwasher Safe

These high-rim plate-bowls are perfect for certain entrées in that gray area between solid food and soup. They hold liquid well, but allow for the use of a steak knife. Yet they are elegant enough to serve as the main place setting. I like their lighter weight, that gives the feel of porcelain, and the smooth surface finish that’s easy to clean. The reflection in the photo implies there is a recessed area in the bottom of the bowl. No such recess exists; these are flat-bottomed bowls with curved edges—plain, simple, light weight, highly glazed, and temperature proofed (yet inexpensive)! No, I’m not associated with the manufacturer, but I am an accomplished chef and technical writer.

I really like that these bowls are not too big but the sides are a bit deeper without being too deep. We use them all the time for sides at dinner. Nice bowls, good weight (not too heavy) and balance. I'm ex-restaurant and I give them a thumbs up for hard working bowls! Packaged well and the price per bowl is amazing!

These are perfect size. You can use as plates if you wanted, but perfect size for pasta, soups, stews, chili. We use them all the time.

I purchased these bowls for salads but also use them for thick chilis and rice meals. They are perfect. I originally tried something similar,"Cafe" from Crate and Barrel, but found them to be too shallow and more like a plate. These 8" bowls have just enough lip on them to hold it all in with out being too confining like a cereal bowl. They are white, simple, and easy to clean. They match my existing Maxwell Williams plates. Also fairly hefty and do not appear to be easily breakable. I purchased 2 sets for a total of 12 pieces.

We like cereal with various fruits for breakfast. Other bowls too small. Also use them for pasta, chef's salad. Wash nicely in dishwasher

Perfect plain white bowls to go with my different sets of dishes. I thought they were bigger. They arrived with center bowl cracked completely in half and glaze on one bowl had imperfections that QC should have caught . I agreed to Dowan's customer service refunding me for two bowls on my next purchase.

These are the perfect spaghetti bowls! They are very durable, none have broken yet and we use them frequently. We wash in the dishwasher and use the heat dry cycle with no issue. They have a good weight to them and feel like a good quality piece. We will buy more of these as they are very versatile!

Very simple and good size!
