Are these soup bowls easy to balance and handle if one is eating while holding the bowl, not at a table?

I've never done this, but I would think that they would be OK. Perhaps a bit awkward since the handle is not like one that you would find on a mug. It sticks straight out to the side so the grip would be horizontal rather than verticle. The handle is hollow so it does not get a hot as the bowl part. They are really awesome bowls though, so don't let this hold you back from ordering. We use them a lot and are quite happy with them.

By all means, yes. I use these in my office and even outdoors. They are very sturdy and I have filled them with soup or stew for meals I made for a neighbor. Excellent purchase.

Yes, but be careful if they've been in the oven, like you're melting the cheese on top - the handle may be hot.

There "OK" for that. Not the greatest due to their size they're quite big and it will get heavy Wenfield pursue a woman might have trouble a strong man with a strong rest wouldn't probably be bothered as much

I've never tried that, but I am guessing that if you put your bowls in the oven to bake the cheese on top you would find them too HOT to handle.

They are lightweight. If you want more of a heavyweight bowl you might want to check out the OXO bowls, however I don't believe they come with "lids" like these do.

Hi Sharlee, I found this bowl to be a bit squishier (softer) then the Aladdin silicone bowls. So, if I was taking soup; I'd choose the Aladdin & use this one for salad or cereal. Hope this helps

Yes, they are good for hot soup. I bought them specifically to see if I could use them for a soup bar. I haven't had the party yet but I tested them out at home and the lip of the bowl stayed quite cool so you can carry the soup bowl easily. I don't know how they would work with a boiling hot liquid but they worked quite well for soup directly out of a hot crock pot.

I used the cups for cold soup, but I believe they would hold up to the pudding. They are not the firmest of cups, rather thin plastic and will crack if handled improperly.

No. I have osteo-arthritis in my hands and these are light enough for me to handle comfortably.I think the covers are heavier than the pots/pans! But they are fine too. Good luck!

I use these for soup and chili as the perfect serving size. The bail makes them easy to carry without spilling. Be sure to wash with minimal soap and then oil while hot, reheating if necessary. I also heat the pots to the point where the soup sizzles when put in the pot. An effective serving technique from the tureen but you must be careful around small children and the cognitively challenged.

No, would be much too big. Are more like salad bowls for a big salad. Almost too big for individual salad bowls. Also don't know if they wouldn't crack with hot soup.

I would say they're "easy-ish". I guess, by their nature, they're designed to fit snugly and stay in place, so that they don't slide down. That said, because of the little grey "handles", I find it much easier to pull up, than others. Readjusting them, during softball or walking, is really easy because of the handles. I'm a big guy and my let knee is prettybanged up from years of baseball/softball...but I love the support and comfort of this Shock Doctor compression thingy.

I would say they are more light weight, but not too light. I have a set of heavier ones from Costco and these are lighter than those. For basic cooking they would be fine, but might be prone to denting if used harshly.

They are microwaveable, and the smaller to medium bowls are light while the largest 2-3 bowls have a bit of heft to them, but none of it is a laborious weight.

Hard to really measure that. If you look from the center out to the edges it curves up. We usually eat anything like pasta out of bowls so I haven't really seen them in action with a food and sauce. I don't think you would have spillage. I can take a picture tonight with a ruler and see if I can post it. If not I can post it on Facebook. I would have to disagree with TJ.

Sorry, I haven't had that problem, probably for two reasons: We use these for feeding, not for letting the kids feed themselves; and our bowls are large enough in diameter that the last inch or so of the spoon's handle comes to rest on the edge of it, with the spoon part well inside the bottom of the bowl (even if it's shallow, that tends to be a safe angle); that way, the fulcrum or the balance tipping point is never far enough over to chuck the spoon out. (You can have the same problem with normal teaspoons and small-diameter fruit or jello or shallow jogurt cups. The size and the relative weight really matter.)

Yes, we use them for soup, ice cream, cereal, everything! Very deep so no spills to clean up - on your table or on yourself!

The soup spoons are larger than my old set of flatware, but not uncomfortably so. It seems to be the fashion now. My husband likes that size while I usually use the teaspoon for soup & cereal except when we have guests for dinner.

They hold about 5oz according to the box. They are small and GLASS with no handles...If the soup is hot, probably not a good idea as they would be hard to hold.There is no heat instructions in the box...so I would think that they are for tasting small cool or cold foods. There are ceramic type tasting dishes soldhere at Amazon that might work better.

The dishes are good size...large dinner plates, soups are shallow but wide enough to still hold enough. I love them!
