little bowl question
- Thread starter Sass Muffin
- Start date
Oh my gosh, I use my little bowls for all kinds of things!
- Mise en place
- I split up dips into small bowls to have with chips, so people don't have to keep getting up
- Leftovers
- I put juicy salads in small bowls like that and place the bowls on the big dinner plates. In case people don't want their salads running into their entree. Cole slaw, cucumber salads, tomato salads, etc.
- Condiment dishes for the table
- I've never done this, but you could use them as finger bowls

That's a good idea Lee.
As with you, I've never used "finger bowls", and wouldn't dream of it.
Not in my simple laid back house lol
Guests would think I was nuts.
Oh wait.. forget I said that..
Actually, I was wondering if they were supposed to be used as, or could be used as serving an oriental soup with a meal.
Guess I'm stupid when it comes to things like this.
I'll use them well in the future for whatever.

They remind me of those little bowls they drink sake out of in the movies, but I imagine those are technically different... and since I don't drink sake anyway, they look like they would hold Grey Goose, too :^D
One of those would be perfect for holding the rub mixture I put on chicken.

Thanks everyone..
Fred,Susan and Keltin-- you may be right.

Sake sets are a bit smaller, like shot glasses. I've got two sets of this style. Love Sake!
Although, in some old King-Fu movies, you would see the heavy drinkers hitting the Sake out of Tea Bowls! YEAH!
Yeah, I knew I wouldn't hit the nail right on the head, close though.
I'd like to add that I am sorry if some/most of my pics look green and/or fuzzy.
I am not here to show any sort of perfection when it comes to posting ANY pics.
This was a fast shot in bad lighting in order to ask a question.
Besides that, I don't think a lot of my recent photos have been THAT bad.

Who's complaining???
Let me at 'em!!
I'll take a pic, ANY PIC, in a post over just plain text. Yeah.....I'm a pic whore.
Your pics are fine and get the point across perfectly. Don't stop!

THANK YOU!!!
BTW - Great find on those bowls. Nice score!
So many uses. Since you have 4, they would be great for serving toppings on Taco Night. A bowl of cheese, chopped tomatoes, sour cream, and refried beans. Taco shells on a platter, shredded lettuce in a larger bowl, meat in a covered bowl, and bottles of sauce......a regular buffet at the table.
Great for condiments like dipping sauces for wings, ketchup for fries, etc. So much you can do!

Thanks Joe!
Now we've come to the conclusion that they are in fact, of an oriental nature.
Maybe I'll use them for sweet and sour soup or something like that next time I have the girls over.
Yes and I do agree Keltin. One never has enough of this size bowl.
Green and fuzzy?
I have a braille monitor. I didn't notice.
ok, so your pics are only worth 999 words. Who cares? It was a lot easier that trying to describe them.
Excellent!
See? I am learning so much tonight! lol

But of course dahhlin'!
By the size, I think they are tea bowls, too. I have a lot of them because they are just so pretty. I use them for mise en place, for dipping sauces, for condiments, and to float small flowers in beside each plate when I'm having guests. I have also used them for burning those small incense cones in. Great find, Sass!

To me, they look like the little bowls that you have when you go to dim sum, and they are accompanied by a tea cup, plate and chopsticks rest.
At home, I would use them as said earlier, for mis en place or to crack an egg into before adding to a batter, etc. Dipping sauce bowls too.
