• Holds 12 ounces of ice cream—not too big or small.

• Affordable.

Best Multi-Use Bowls: Sweese 101.001 Porcelain Bowls

Yes, ice cream-themed bowls are cute for kids—but what if you want your ice cream bowls to do double duty for other desserts? We’d recommend Sweese’s porcelain bowls. This set of 6 bowls is a favorite here at the home office.

What We Liked

• Sturdy, good quality.

• Stackable.

• Microwave, freezer and oven safe.

• More colors choices if you don’t like white.

• Holds a couple big scoops of ice cream.

What Needs Work

• Smaller than they look? We thought these bowls were perfectly sized for ice cream or desserts—but we can understand if folks want something bigger. These bowls are about 5″ across.
