Quick answer
The Lys Marine 51cl bowl is ideal for hearty single-serving soups and stews, thanks to its generous capacity, easy-grip handles, and tempered glass that withstands microwave reheating and dishwasher cleaning.
Why the 51cl capacity works for soups and stews
A standard soup portion is around 300–400 ml (10–14 oz), leaving room in the 510 ml bowl for broth, chunks of meat or vegetables, and a garnish. The bowl's wide rim also makes it easy to ladle and stir without spilling.
The tempered glass handles thermal shock up to 130°C (per EN 1183), so you can safely reheat leftovers directly in the microwave. Just avoid sudden temperature changes—don't place a hot bowl on a cold countertop.
Table presentation tips
The deep marine blue color adds a rich contrast to creamy soups or tomato-based stews. Pair with neutral-toned tableware to let the bowl stand out. The side handles also make it easy for guests to hold a warm bowl.
How to serve soups and stews in the Lys Marine 51cl bowl
- Portion the stew: Fill the bowl to about 3/4 full (roughly 380 ml) to leave room for stirring and to prevent overflow when reheating. A common mistake is overfilling, which makes the bowl hard to carry and can spill in the microwave. Use a ladle to measure portions; 3/4 full is ideal.
- Reheat safely: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each. The tempered glass handles microwave use, but avoid heating empty or adding cold liquid to a hot bowl. Always stir between intervals to distribute heat evenly.
- Serve with style: Place the bowl on a small plate or trivet to catch drips and protect surfaces. The side handles let guests hold the bowl comfortably even when the contents are warm. Use a trivet; the handles stay cooler than the bowl body.
- Clean up: Rinse immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the glass. The bowl is dishwasher-safe, so you can place it on the top rack for thorough cleaning. Dishwasher cleaning is fine; avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glass.
