newwhole30er Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Wasn't sure where to post this Instead of using an actual mixing bowl, I would like to eat my mixing-bowl-sized salads out of a pretty...um...EATING bowl. Any ideas?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chezjulie Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Ha ha! I understand your question; I actually went though this myself. I do prefer to eat my giant salads out of a Pyrex mixing bowl. But a while back I bought a couple of Paula Deen mixing bowls in robin's egg blue on Amazon to serve as more attractive "eating bowls." They are cute, but a little too deep (rather than wide) for my preference. (I bought them before she was outed as a racist).But if you look on Amazon there are also some bright melamine mixing bowls that are cute. Or maybe if you look at ceramic pasta bowls you could find some that are more generous than the typical soup or salad bowl? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirkor Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I use one similar to this: This one is from Ikea, but I got mine at Walmart in the home decor section (/not/ in dishes). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
missmary Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 oooh Kirkor, yours is pretty! I'm impressed. I vote for serving bowls--lots of nice options, though a bit heavy if you are the type to lift the bowl closer to better shovel the salad into your mouth (not that I know anything about that ). These are the ones we have at the office for lunches (I use the middle size, others prefer the small one, go figure): http://www.crateandbarrel.com/bistro-6-11.75-bowls/f24495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpunkyBug Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 missmary, I like those bowls! I have a bowl thing, and now I might have to go get those. I currently eat salad out of large plastic storage containers, but if I'm feeling fancy, I will use a pasta bowl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathyV Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 the biggest one I can find!! Toilet bowl size if possible Love eating salads, never get tired of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLC1968 Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 My husband and I went bowl shopping about a year ago for this exact purpose. We bought two massive ceramic bowls from Pier 1 that kind of coordinate with our dishes. They are our designated 'salad bowls'. Occasionally they get used for serving dishes at Thanksgiving but most of the time, they are reserved for individual salads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallsoprano Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 I use a Le Creuset Multibowl, medium size. It feels luxurious to use and fits plenty of salad (though I do toss it in an even bigger prep bowl first to get the vinaigrette distributed evenly).

theminimalistcommunity Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 This thread reminded me of this: http://www.missminimalist.com/2010/02/minimalist-food-one-bowl-eating/ I love this concept! This is what we do. We each have a nice bowl and we eat all of our meals out of it. Simple. Great for epic salads! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
praxisproject Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I toss my salads in a big catering stainless steel bowl, but then I serve it in a pretty bowl from IKEA (it's very pretty but no longer available) that's a smidge too small for tossing. Well, for me, if I do, some of my lovely salad goes on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zyriel Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I use a pho bowl that I picked up from a local Asian grocery store. It's mixing bowl sized, but definitely looks like table-ware. It's pleasantly decorative and because it's plastic it's light. Edit: I don't toss in these, only serve to eat.... heaping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vian Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 I use this from world market. While it's labled a serving bowl, it's much smaller than most serving bowls. Its about the same size as the bowls they serve pho in at vietnamese restaurants. http://www.worldmarket.com/product/wax-resist-serving-bowl.do?

NoMoreCrunchyCravings Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I prefer a very large pyrex mixing bowl for giant salads. Unless it's dirty. Then I use a very large rectangular plastic tupperware type container. Unless it's dirty. Then I use a smaller pyrex mixing bowl (which is by no means small, just not the roomiest one I own)... unless that's dirty. And if it is, I cry, because it's too many dirty dishes and I'm hungry for my dang salad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praxisproject Posted June 7, 2016 Share Posted June 7, 2016 I have a stainless steel catering bowl about the size of kirkor's one but not as pretty. If I have to toss a salad it has to go in there or it ends up on the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kathiii Posted June 10, 2016 Share Posted June 10, 2016 I use a large round wooden bowl for my salads at home. I think it was meant as a serving bowl, but it is a perfect size for me and I like the way it looks. It cannot be put in the dishwasher, but I'm fine with that.
