Customer Rating:
Summary: Love these bowls
Comment: We use these bowls everyday. They're the perfect size for soups, cereal or that small amount of leftovers you need to heat up in the microwave. I especially like the grab-it handle - it's perfect for the kids.

Summary: Fine little bowl
Comment: I accidently broke one of these Corningware bowls that I've had for nearly 20 years and was very happy to find a replacement. They are the perfect size for a serving of soup or chili and are great in the micro-wave. The only thing new is the plastic cover. They fit tightly and I suppose would make anyone happy who uses them. Personally I could do without the cover, I use a paper towel in the microwave to prevent spills, but could see a use for the cover on occasion. These bowls are easy to clean and should last forever if you don't drop them on a tile floor!

Summary: Lesson learned
Comment: Amazon shipped the product in a timely fashion as is Amazon.com's reliable practice.
I was dismayed with the product received, though. The Corning grab-it was NOT the Corning USA that I remembered, it was Chinese Corning Stoneware. They are not bright white, but have a grey tint and they are heavier and unglazed on the bottom. Can't blame anyone , but little ole me because I could have paid more attention to the product's description. Salvation Army will become the -4- grab-its new owner. Thanks anyway Amazon, it is not your fault, I should have remembered that "Reading is fundamental".

Summary: Durable, Practical
Comment: These bowls are very durable and practical, however, the lids are somewhat hard to remove. I hope they loosen up with use. These bowls are great for microwaving soup and leftovers. I own 2 sets. One set I've had at least 16 years and still looks like new.

Summary: Not the same quality these once were
Comment: This is a GREAT alternative to plastic storage, and I do prefer the plastic lid over the glass, as it doesn't slide around & slip off if I use it to take my lunch to work. However, these are definitely not made as nicely as they were many years ago.

The ceramic dish itself seems much more brittle than my old bowls, and they are made in china. The handle has a squared edge, so it doesn't match up quite so well with the rounded edge on the lid. As another reviewer noted, these lids are not air tight, so be careful if you use it for soup or other liquidy foods. The size is perfect for the average meal.

I'd pay twice as much if I could get the old quality, however considering my alternatives for food storage and reheating leftovers for lunch in the microwave at work (never heat plastic!!), I would definitely recommend these bowls.
