A kitchen wants a few kinds of bowl: nested mixing bowls, everyday cereal and soup bowls, a couple of low serving bowls and a large salad bowl for the table; bright melamine sits under Hellerware bowl. At Eleish Van Breems Home we keep bowls for cooking, eating and serving alike.
Which material suits everyday mixing bowls?
For everyday mixing bowls, stainless is light and forgiving, glazed stoneware sits steady and doubles for serving, and glass lets you see the mix; match them into a dinnerware set for the table. A wide, weighted base that stays put as you whisk matters most.
How do bowls work as table and shelf pieces?
Bowls work as table and shelf pieces when a low serving bowl holds fruit at the centre or a stack of plain ones reads as quiet sculpture on an open shelf, beside other serveware. Vary the sizes and keep the tones calm so the shapes, not the colour, lead the eye.
Which bowl materials are dishwasher friendly?
Everyday stoneware, porcelain and stainless bowls take the dishwasher happily, but keep wooden, hand-painted and gilded pieces to a hand-wash, since heat can affect wood and delicate decoration; a fine Georg Jensen bowl is safest by hand. Follow the care guidance appropriate to the material and decoration.
