I previously had 4 28 oz. bowls, but have now broken them all. I have not been able to find a similar size bowl that is microwavable. These bowls fit the bill perfectly, and are good for warming other foods in the microwave. One precaution: since the bowls are narrower and deeper than previous bowls, the do not need as much microwave time as previous bowls. Overall the bowls are great, light, and good looking.
