Pasta Bowl Buyer’s Guide
A warming bowl of homemade pasta is all the more appealing if it’s served in the right bowl. Traditionally wide and shallow, pasta bowls allow for the perfect sauce to pasta ratio, complete with a healthy sprinkling of cheese! But while the shape of pasta bowls is fairly consistent, there’s a range of sizes, designs and qualities on the market to choose from.
Not sure what to look for when it comes to the best pasta bowl? Check out this buyer’s guide.
Size
Most pasta bowls are wide and shallow, with a wider diameter than other everyday bowls. If you’re a fan of larger portions, look for a pasta bowl with a diameter of over 25cm. These can also be used as serving bowls.
Design
You’ll be spoilt for choice when it comes to design. If you’re looking for pasta bowls to add to an existing crockery set, plain white porcelain bowls will work well. Neutral colours also complement most table settings.
For formal dinners, you may want to spend a little more on fancier designs. Scandi style bowls in neutral colours are a great choice for formal table settings, and bowls with intricate illustrations are also very popular but tend to be harder to clean.
Durability
Most pasta bowls are made from porcelain or bone china, both of which are durable. If you plan on using your pasta bowls very regularly, look for a set designed to withstand everyday handling. Bowls that are chip, stain and break resistant are best for kids’ meals.
