I am very pleased with these bowls!  I was looking for bowls for pasta and also to be used for soups and salads.  These fit the bill!  They are colorful, a good portion size, and go from microwave to the dishwasher with no problem!  There is a warning on the bowls that they may get very hot in the microwave so I always have either a potholder or a dishtowel handy when removing them from the microwave.
