Encouraged by the performance of a set of Corelle plates purchased earlier from Amazon, I ordered a set of the 28-Ounce Navy Blue trimmed bowls. When they arrived, they seemed satisfactory, but on the first rinse and wash, I noticed that on the outer surface, around the base are small sandgrain-like imperfections of the surface that feel all the world like baked-on food. On close inspection they are bits of ceramic glazing. On every wash they attract unwanted attention and cause extra scrubbing. It is a minor annoyance, but a chronic one. The inside surface of the bowls are smooth and without flaw, thankfully.
A less tolerant person might have returned the set for replacement or refund. Each bowl suffers this distracting defect. Bear this in mind as you consider this purchase.

I bought a pair of these on here for 2/14.99 and I thought they were great. Then, I went to buy two more and the price was $99 for a single bowl. I figured it had to be a mistake so I emailed the seller. I never got a reply from them but two days later the price was 14.99 for a single bowl. These are cool bowls but they are not $15 dollars cool. Then the other day, I was at wally world and found these same exact bowls for 3.99. Lesson learned. Shop around.

First, they do have a bit of an institutional look to them, plain white with the blue band, but I still like them. I have four Corelle tea cup saucers that fit on top of these bowls perfectly for storing and microwaving. These are nice and big and you can get yourself a bowl of something good and you won't have to go back for seconds. The shape fits nicely in the hand for snacking in front of the TV. And they really are quite thin and lightweight. I love being able to re-heat food in either the oven or microwave because when doing so the bowl heats too and that helps the food stay hot longer.

Good shape to store leftovers in the frig. Out of the frig. and into the microwave oven, ready to serve. Also good depth to eat your cereal and dinner out of. If you're on a diet, this should help. Highly recommended you get at least two of these deep dishes, and they come in different designs.
