Sheffield Home 3-Tier Serving Set: White Stoneware Bowls

So, these bowls are a really good size for serving bowls and the shape is attractive. The only issue I have is that my first order arrived broken–either they aren’t terribly durable, or they aren’t well packed (I’m leaning towards the second). I still have to deal with the returns, which I hate doing and which totally colors my experience…. But all in all, these are really nice.

I’ve washed them in the dishwasher with no issues. They truly don’t seem to be fragile. I love entertaining and have a ton of large platters for serving, but didn’t really have enough serving bowls, so these are kind of perfect. The only real issue that I have is that the first set arrived broken–and they did replace them right away!

The bowl is hefty and very well made, simple and attractive. I admit I was confused about the definition of a serving bowl. It is not for an individual serving. This is the definition I later found: “A serving bowl is a bowl used to hold food from which individual diners serve themselves or are served by their host.” In other words, this bowl would hold the mashed potatoes that everyone would scoop from to put onto their own plate.
So when I first saw, and held, the bowls I was surprised. They were probably a third bigger and heavier than I expected. I had planned to use them for when we eat pho, or maybe pasta. But they are even large for that.
My first meal using them was nachos. They went in the oven and worked just fine. Since then, I’ve been using them for rather large salads. So there is obviously some versatility with them, as long as you don’t mind eating out of large, kinda heavy bowls. But they’re nice, and I don’t regret getting them. And I still plan to use them for my pho.

I absolutely love the Sheffield Home Stoneware 9″ Oval Serving Bowls! While they are designed for serving, I’ve discovered they also make fantastic pasta bowls. When you want to enjoy a cozy meal of spaghetti, these elegant bowls are the perfect size. Plus, they are microwave and dishwasher-safe, which makes them super convenient. The set of 4 in black adds a touch of sophistication to any dinner table. Highly recommended for both serving and enjoying your favorite dishes!

I love these extra large bowls. I wish they had been sturdier. One broke soon after from a small fall to the kitchen floor. I had expected the thick material to be hardier but it wasn’t.
