Even those ravenous for ramen may require a bit of variety. The new Kalon Ceramics lidded ramen-bowl set dishes up many possible uses.
In making the pieces, I intentionally chose not to add chopstick holes to the ramen bowl to retain the versatility of its use. The lid is equally oven-safe, and not only that, it be can used as a small baker, like for cheese. It’s a bonus ovenware piece!
Read on to discover the many ways you can use the set.
- Elevate your takeout: spoon a fragrant basmati pilau into the bowl and serve samosas on the plate.
- This’ll make you look forward to winter… Enjoy a favourite chili, with squares of cornbread and pats on butter on the side.
- Get your 5 to 10 a day: dig into a steaming root-vegetable stew with herb-studded biscuits and a side salad on the plate.
- Having a couple of friends over? Fill the serving bowl with chips and use the lid as a plate for crudites.
- Need an easy hors d’oeuvres? Pop a wheel of cheese into the lid to use it as a brie baker and fill the bowl with crackers.
- Here’s a simple weekday dinner for two. Fill the salad bowl and bake a small frittata in the lid.
- Use the pair as a small casserole dish with lid. Apple crisp for two hearty appetites, anyone?
- Smores dip and graham crackers! Nuff said.
- Go bananas with fruit salad and a plate of freshly baked loaf slices.
- The bowl and lid can be used for more than serving. Together, they make a waste-free storage solution. Refrigerate your leftovers with no plastic wrap. (Bring the pottery to room temperature before heating!)
- Handmade bowls make great décor items. For the holidays, fill the bowl, the lid—or both—with ornaments and pinecones.
- Green-thumb alert: use the bowl as a planter and add hens and chicks to the lid.
