What to look for in bamboo bowls

  • Size and depth. The round bowls come in eight sizes: 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, 18, 20 and 30cm, and the variant list marks the 11cm and 14cm as deeper bowls.

  • Shape and what goes in it. Go by what each page lists: salads, rice dishes and desserts for the round bowls; street food, fish and chips, loaded fries and nachos for the boat bowls; dipping sauces, condiments and olives for the egg dishes; wedding cake slices and desserts for the heart shapes. The square bowl's page describes a rimless design, and the small dishes have a raised rim.
  • Wet or saucy food. The round bowls' page lists wet foods, sauces and curries, and calls the bowls liquid and oil resistant. The square bowl's page says it handles wet, dry, oily and spicy dishes. The small dish, egg dish, heart-shaped and boat bowl pages each say liquid and oil resistant, with a leak-proof design.
