B-KIND Durable Bagasse Eco-Friendly Rice Bowls 32Oz Pack Of 50 Bowls - Microwave Safe, Compostable, Made From Sugercane Fibers (50 Count, 32Oz)

Definitely was very anxious to try these, since finding 32oz or greater disposable bowls is difficult. After reading reviews, I didnt have a good picture if they suited my need, so I need to see how they worked myself.We tried these out with our Christmas piping HOT STEW (Pozole) gathering that we do yearly, and they did work out GREAT !! This is the perfect size to hold at least 2-3 cups of soup comfortably + add on a a good amount of fixings on top. They held up to the heat very well, and there was no leaking or worry of the bowl getting soggy, and not holding up.Cautions to be aware of:- These are Paper (not styrofoam), so like a paper cup with hot coffee, these bowls need to be doubled up when serving VERY hot dishes because you feel the heat on your hands pretty quickly. (we used paper plates as coasters as well to help hold the hot bowl - but doubling them up works best)- like others have stated, while eating, these bowls do sweat at the bottom, so may need wiping up or a paper napkin underneath, especially if you have delicate furniture. ( we had ours on bare granite counter tops, and no marks, just water buildup from steam : also ate on plastic decorative coasters, and no marks or damage).Otherwise, these bowls really suited our needs, especially in avoiding washing 30+ bowls we used to do every year. Next year, I will be ordering these again, but will order a few extra in order to double-up and hold very hot soup.I do recommend these bowls for party's ; and they are big enough to use as small chip bowls as well.

The purpose of these bowls was a hot soup similar to Chicken and Dumplings for a pre Thanksgiving dinner for 22 people. I was concerned about some of the reviews stating that they fell apart when hold hot liquids so I did a test. I boiled a cup of water and poured it into the bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. The bowl was a warm to the touch so I wouldn't want it to be held by children and it did weep a little. I then dumped out the cold water and poured another cup of boiling water and let sit another 10 minutes. The bowls held up great and with the large size of the bowl they were perfect for my Chicken and Pastry. Everyone was very impressed with the quality. I will use them again.

I often found the 20 oz bowls just a little too small. These are almost perfect for something when you need a little more volume. They're still paper, but there's an ever so thin coating on the inside. Not sure how much weight they will take, and wouldn't put them in the microwave for very long at a time, but I do think they'll serve me well in certain situations.

I’m no hippie, but we are destroying our planet too fast to not make conscious choices to better it. When I get something environmentally friendly, I do it with my mind and eyes wide open to whatever creature comfort I may lose for it to lessen my environmental impact. I have done this for decades. This is the first product I have used which I do not feel I have lost something for making a better choice. I have used them now for most every practical purpose and they have not let me down. I know this probably sounds a bit enthusiastic for a disposable bowl, but this product gives me hope that after decades we may finally have guiltless options that don’t feel like a punishment!

These bowls are perfect for the lazy cook. I use them primarily for microwaving soup. With the soup in the bowl, I microwave for 3 minutes. The bowl does not get hot and I don't have to use another bowl or plate for insulation as it doesn't heat up (the bowl, not the soup). It insulates for hot soup very nicely. It never gets weak while eating the soup and is more like a real bowl than a paper bowl. It is not so very much more expensive than a paper or foam bowl and works a lot better. I'd recommend this for anyone looking for a disposable bowl for both microwaving and serving.
