How to choose the perfect bowl - Materials, Sizes & Features
When choosing a bowl, it's important to consider both functionality and aesthetics. Will it be used for cooking, baking, serving or storage? Or maybe as part of your interior design? Here at Kitchen Living Dining we have bowls for every need - from practical mixing bowls to stylish serving bowls.
Choose the right material
The material has a big impact on the look and use of the bowl. Here's a guide to what you should choose:
- Ceramic and stoneware → Perfect for serving and table setting. The Shoku series from Villa Collection has an elegant, handmade finish, while the North bowls from Studio Round have a modern, minimalist look.
- Glass → Lightweight, stylish and easy to clean. Perfect for salads, snacks and desserts.
- Plastic and Durostima® → Durable and lightweight. The Rosti Margrethe bowl is an iconic choice that is both freezer and microwave safe.
Choose the right size
Think about what you will primarily use the bowl for and choose the size accordingly:
- 0.2-0.5 L → Perfect for dressings, nuts and small snacks.
- 0.5-2 L → Ideal for breakfast, soup or small servings.
- 2 L+ → Great for large salads, baking or serving larger dishes.
Functional and decorative bowls
Here in the shop, you'll find bowls for all purposes:
- For cooking and baking → A good mixing bowl is essential. The Margrethe bowl from Rosti is loved for its non-slip design and durable material. The latest version, NEW Margrethe, is made of Durostima®, which makes it even more shatterproof and suitable for both freezer and microwave.

FAQ - frequently asked questions about bowls and bowl sets
Below you'll find the answers to the questions our customers ask us most often when choosing new bowls and bowl sets, so you can find the perfect bowl for your needs.
Can my bowls go in the dishwasher?
Yes, most bowls can be washed in the dishwasher, but the material does matter:
- Porcelain and glass → Dishwasher safe, but gentle washing is recommended to maintain lustre and finish.
- Stoneware and ceramics → Often dishwasher safe, but some bowls with reactive glaze should be washed by hand to avoid wear and tear.
- Plastic → Most plastic bowls are dishwasher safe and easy to clean.
- Wood and bamboo → Always hand wash as water can cause the material to warp.
Our tip: Always check the manufacturer's washing recommendations to ensure the longevity of the bowls - or ask our customer service for help.
Which bowls can go in the oven?
Only ovenproff bowls can withstand high temperatures. Look for bowls made of:
- Porcelain and ovenproof ceramics → Some porcelain bowls can be heat-resistant and go straight from freezer to oven.
- Stoneware → Many BITZ bowls are ovenproof and can withstand temperatures up to about 220°C.
- Glass (borosilicate glass) → Some glass bowls can withstand oven heat, but ordinary glass bowls can shatter with temperature changes.
Note! When in doubt, avoid putting plastic bowls and regular glass or ceramic bowls in the oven - find all ovenproof bowls here.
Which bowls can go in the freezer?
Most porcelain, stoneware and plastic bowls can be frozen, but beware of thermal shock:
- Porcelain and stoneware → Some bowls are freezer safe but allow them to thaw gradually to avoid cracking.
- Plastic lidded bowls → Lidded bowls are ideal for the freezer as they are lightweight and have a tight-fitting lid.
- Rosti Margrethe bowl → The NEW Margrethe model in Durostima® plastic is freezer safe.
Note! Avoid freezing ordinary glass bowls as they can burst with temperature changes.
Which bowl is best for serving?
The best serving bowl depends on your style and needs:
- For an elegant table setting → the Fjord bowls from Villa Collection have a clean and modern shape that adds sophisticated elegance to your table.
- For a Nordic, rustic style → BITZ stoneware bowls have beautiful, unique glazes and a raw, authentic look.
- For a modern, minimalist look → the North bowls from Studio Round have a timeless and harmonious design inspired by Scandinavian simplicity.
- For a colourful table setting → Lyngby Glas Sorrento bowls add a lively dynamic with their elegant glass design.
Our tip: Choose a larger bowl (2L+) for salads and a medium-sized bowl (0.5-2L) for small servings.
Which bowl is best for food storage?
Bowls with lids are best for storing leftovers and meal prepping. They protect food from air and keep it fresh for longer:
- For fridge and freezer → Choose bowls with airtight lids to prevent food waste and extend the life of your leftovers.
- For storing dough and ingredients → The Rosti Margrethe bowl can be used with a lid and is freezer safe.
- For dry goods and snacks → Transparent storage bins with lids are perfect for creating clarity and organisation in your cupboards and drawers.
Note! Avoid using regular porcelain or stoneware bowls for storage without lids as food dries out quickly.
What is the difference between a mixing bowl and a serving bowl?
Mixing bowls and serving bowls have different functions and designs:
- Mixing bowls → Used for baking and cooking, often with a non-slip base and high rim. The Rosti Margrethe bowl is a perfect example.
- Serving bowls → Used to present food beautifully on the table. Serving bowls are available in ceramic, porcelain, stoneware or glass and are often designed with a decorative look.
Our tip: Do you only want to invest in one bowl? Then we recommend a timeless porcelain or stoneware bowl that is perfect for both cooking and serving.
What can I use a bowl set for?
A bowl set is indispensable in the kitchen - whether you're making a delicious breakfast, preparing a festive dinner or simply enjoying a relaxed evening with snacks. With bowls in different sizes, you'll always have the right one for every occasion:
- The small bowls (0.2-0.5L) are perfect for dips, dressings and nuts - ideal for the tapas table or as a stylish way to serve snacks.
- Medium bowls (0.5-2L) are great for breakfast, soups and smaller servings - think a steaming bowl of oatmeal or a creamy pasta dish.
- The large bowls (2L+) are indispensable for salads, baking and larger meals - perfect when you want to impress your guests with a beautifully arranged salad or a homemade dough to rise overnight.
Our tip: A beautiful set of bowls can also be used as a decorative element - display them on your kitchen table or shelf to create a cosy atmosphere in your home.
