Target’s Shatterproof Bowls Are Just 50 Cents Apiece

There’s nothing like eating out of a one-of-a-kind stoneware bowl, with its sturdy texture and earthy imperfections. Still, when it comes to everyday ease, most home cooks would likely prefer to save the stoneware for company, rather than for quick meals or their rough-and-tumble kids. For on-the-go bowls of cereal, a simple pasta before soccer practice, or a quick stovetop ramen, a shatterproof yet microwaveable option does the trick.

A fan favorite? Room Essentials’ Cereal Bowls from Target. These bowls, especially in the beige colorway, could be mistaken for fancy Pottery Barn dinnerware, yet they’re much more versatile for a family with kids. Plus, you really can’t beat the price for everyday serveware. At just 50 cents apiece, these bowls are a steal.

At first glance, you’d never know these Target bowls were made of recycled plastic. In fact, dressed up with a linen napkin and some rustic silverware, they’re sophisticated enough for your next fall outdoor dinner party. Each bowl holds 8.3 ml of your favorite soup, chili, cereal, or pasta, and they come in eight different colors to match any decor style. 

Each bowl measures 6.69 inches in diameter, and they’re dishwasher- and microwave-safe (for reheating only, not cooking). That makes leftovers so much more palatable, knowing that reheating and cleanup will be easy. The shatterproof bowls have high sides and are sturdy enough not to topple over, as noted by one Target shopper who called them a “superb, strong bowl.” Another person said they’re “generously sized,” while a third person called them their “go-to bowls for everything” and noted that they “still look brand new” even after numerous uses and washes. 

As stated, these bowls are kid-approved, too. One shopper noted they bought them because they were aesthetically pleasing and kid-friendly. They said the bowls don’t get hot in the microwave, so you can grab them without burning yourself, and they’ve dealt with “no scratches so far” on the interiors. 

Since the investment is minimal, Target’s bowls really are a no-brainer purchase. And if you pick two colors, like beige and grey, they’ll even complement your stoneware place settings, reserved only for the adults. High-quality plastic bowls with this much versatility don’t come along that often.
