what material are the bowls made out of?

They are plastic; but there are no markings on the dish to indicate what type of plastic (PBA free?). They are easy to clean and maintain and still look brand-new when we wash the dog drewl off. :) Overall we have been happy with them.

I wish I could help you but I didn't pay attention to where they were made. They are currently at my second home in Oregon so I couldn't get to them to find out. What I can say about these bowls are that are very heavy and well made for what I paid for them. They were a good buy.

I'm not sure of the exact material, but some type of composite or plastic. This is my 2nd one in 7 years of every day use. Very high quality

They are substantial enough to hold up to an electric mixer and an electric whisk. They are plastic and they do scratch. Not a concern for me however. I like everything about these bowls and have used them hard since purchasing them.

The bowl is lined with teflon. From the light weight, I think the bowl itself is aluminum.

The fact that there is nothing mentioned on the bowls means that they are nor BPA free. From the look and feel these are more like plastic items included in the kitchen pretend play sets. Also, at the back, it just says 'made in china'.

They are made of a plastic material. Used them for my destination wedding and they worked great for traveling.

They're made of molded bamboo; basically bamboo particles pressed into the shape of bowls and sealed.

They seem to be a kind of mix of nylon and cotton. They are durable, whatever the material is. My children have used and re-used their bags since we bought them for a birthday party in October.

They are made out of something other than ordinary plastic. Silicon is my best guess, they era so flimsy and difficult to handle I can't recommend them. If bpa is what you find in the cheapest of products...my guess is it's in these items.

They are a soft plastic and you can squeeze them a little. Not are hard as my other set of Cuisinart bowls - I did have one of those crack. I have not had any problem with them. One of the things I like about this set is that they don't collect water in the bottem rim when upside down in the dishwasher like my other Cuisinart bowls do.

The plates and bowls are made of a special glass (made of Silica, the most prevalent mineral in the world). There are 3 layers of special glass laminated together in a sandwich. You have to take this as a given, because you can't see the lamination. The great things about this plate are that it is amazingly tough, hard to scratch, durable, break resistant, and light. Example, 10-inch Corelle plate weighs 11 &#8540; ounces; a 10" Dansk plate weighs 1 pound and 11 ounces. A lighter plate makes handling the plates easier, so another reason for less chipping and breakage. Note that the cups (mugs) are not made of glass, but are still pretty tough.

No the bowls are made in China. They are quite large, more like serving bowls than individual serving.

Each has a stainless steel base. The bowl is probably aluminum.This is their "professional" set.

They are made of metal. I have ordered more than 50 of them for my office and they have served our needs well.

On the Rosanna website, it says they are made of porcelain, microwave & dishwasher safe. I am very pleased with the bowls.

They seem to be made from the same material as the bowls, and the bowls are micro-safe (see Product Description in the link below). That said, I've never tried to microwave anything in the snack cups. http://www.amazon.com/The-First-Years-Bowls-Colors/dp/B000096M2Z/ref=pd_cp_ba_0
