Famiware pasta and salad bowls

Thirty to thirty-three ounces spread flat across seven and a half to eight and three-quarter inches. Low and wide is the whole idea: a full plate of pasta with the sauce staying where it was put.

Famiware pasta bowls: what people ask

What people ask before a pasta bowl set turns into a box on the doorstep.

How big is a Famiware pasta bowl, really?

Between 7.5 and 8.75 inches across and 30 to 33 oz, which is a bowl you can eat a full plate of pasta out of without pushing sauce over the edge. Low and wide is the shape; the capacity is spread across the floor of the bowl rather than stacked up the sides.

They double as salad bowls for one, and most people who buy them end up using them for both.

Do Famiware pasta bowls stack inside each other?

They do, and the 7.5-inch sits inside the 8.25-inch if you own both. What they do not do is nest tightly the way pressed bowls nest — one buyer marked hers down a star for exactly that, and she was right to say so.

Can you put a Famiware pasta bowl in the microwave with sauce in it?

Nearly every line here is stated microwave safe on the pack. The body heats along with the food, so a bowl out of a full two minutes is hotter than the pasta in it and the low wide shape gives your fingers less to hold. Use a cloth.
