Serving at the table
A clear glass bowl lets the food be the decoration. Fill the borosilicate glass bowl with lid with a rainbow salad, a fruit salad, a pasta salad, a bowl of raita or a trifle, and bring it straight to the table. The two side handles make it easy and secure to carry, and the lid keeps dust and insects off when you are eating outside or setting up a buffet.
Prep and storage
Use the bowl to marinate chicken or paneer, soak lentils or chickpeas, mix batter or rest dough, covered with its glass lid. Leftovers can go straight from the table to the fridge in the same bowl once they have cooled, which means less washing up and no cling film.
Keep leftovers in the fridge and eat them within two days, as the Food Standards Agency advises.
What 1.5 litres holds
A 1.5 litre bowl is a useful family size: a side salad for four to six, a main salad for two or three, a batch of pasta salad or coleslaw, or a large fruit salad. It is big enough to be useful every day and small enough to fit on a fridge shelf with the lid on.
Borosilicate glass
Borosilicate glass is made with boron oxide, which makes it more resistant to temperature changes and everyday knocks than standard soda-lime glass. It is clear, non-porous and does not hold smells or stains, so the borosilicate glass bowl with lid stays fresh-looking through years of use. The listing does not state oven, microwave or freezer use, so treat it as a serving and storage bowl.
Care and cleaning
Wash the bowl and lid in warm soapy water with a soft sponge, rinse and dry with a lint-free cloth for a sparkling finish. Avoid sudden temperature changes, such as pouring very hot food into a cold bowl or putting a warm bowl on a cold, wet surface. Store the lid on the bowl or upright beside it, with a cloth between them if they are stacked.
Gifting and entertaining
A matching bowl and lid in clear glass suits every style of kitchen and every colour of tableware, which makes it an easy present for a new home or a host. For parties, set out several glass bowls of salads and desserts on a buffet table for a clean, modern look.
Salad ideas
Greek salad with cucumber, tomato, olives and feta; kachumber with onion, tomato, cucumber, coriander and lemon; a rice salad with peppers and sweetcorn; or a fruit salad of melon, berries and mint. Each one looks fresh and bright in a borosilicate glass bowl with lid, and the lid keeps it covered in the fridge until it is time to serve.
Dress leafy salads just before serving so they stay crisp; grain and pasta salads can be dressed in advance and kept covered.
Why a lid matters
A matching lid turns a serving bowl into a storage container. It stops salads drying out, keeps food smells in the fridge contained, and protects food on a buffet or picnic table. Glass-on-glass also looks neater than foil or cling film, and it can be washed and used again for years, which cuts down on single-use wrap.
Dessert ideas
Clear glass is made for layered desserts. Build a trifle with sponge, fruit, custard and cream, a fruit and yoghurt parfait, an Eton mess with meringue and strawberries, or a falooda-style dessert with jelly, vermicelli and rose syrup. Every layer shows through the sides of the borosilicate glass bowl with lid, so it looks as good as it tastes, and the lid keeps it covered in the fridge until serving.
Everyday kitchen uses
Beyond salads and desserts, use the bowl to soak dried fruit for a cake, to keep washed berries ready in the fridge, to hold chopped vegetables before cooking, or as a covered bread bowl for proving dough. A single good-quality glass bowl with a matching lid is one of the most versatile pieces in a kitchen.
Picnics and parties
For picnics and garden parties, a covered glass bowl keeps salads and fruit protected from insects and dust until it is time to eat. Pack it in a cool bag with an ice pack, keep it upright, and serve straight from the borosilicate glass bowl with lid when you arrive.
