These bowls are perfect for pasta and easy to clean. I do think that these are shipped out exactly how it was shipped to the warehouse so no one is verifying whether the bowls are already broke when they ship them out. The first set of bowls I got, one was smashed and one was cracked through but hadn’t broken yet. Just be aware that these aren’t packaged the best to prevent breaking but wayfair does have a good policy for things like this so I got another set and they were fine.
