The description of this item says has a 24 oz. capacity yet couple of reviews refer to the bowl as being small. Is the description wrong?

Yes it holds 24oz. I just checked. I LOVE this bowl and the easy container to transport the microwaved liquid. It a "must have" purchase!

My Son uses it and he says the bowl is not real large but works fine for the meals he prepares. It holds about 20 oz.

I can empty an 18.5 oz can of soup (one of those Progresso cans) into it and there's a little room left at the top so it doesn't spill. I think it's the perfect size for that, or for heating frozen vegetables (it'll do a whole pkg of Birdseye). I think it's a wonderful little tool. I keep it on the shelf right under the microwave and use it very often.

Oh no the bowl really does hold quite alot. During cold weather I like taking those chunky soups in for lunch but most of the soup bowls are way too small. These are perfect the only minor complaint I have is that, at least for me, the plastic covers are a bit tricky to get snapped on. Other than that I love them.

It's a tapered bowl. With no bowl in there, the opening is 7 3/4" diameter at the top and 6 1/4" at the bottom. The bowls included are 8 3/8" diameter if you measure from edge-to-edge including the 1/4" lip around the top of the bowl.All measurements are approximate. There are better options than this one for using your own bowls. I'd get one that has an open bottom and is held by the lip of the bowl instead of this one that's pretty much form-fitted for the included bowls. These get so stinky from the trapped water that gets underneath them. Positively worthless product. It's a tapered bowl.

Sorry, I don't have an answer to that question. I would say it is a standard medium sized bowl, but I know that is not much help. When I get home I will see if I can use a measuring cup to give you an answer. I am planning on making onion soup tonight anyway.

It does hold 24 ounces. I just went and filled the teapot with water and measured how much it was and, full nearly to the brim, it held 24 ounces.

I tested to find out for sure - see pics. The inner bowl part holds around 14-16 ounces, and if you heap it all the way up to the outer rim it holds just under 24 ounces.

Sorry, the one I purchased was apparently larger, maybe 5" tall (including legs), 6" in diameter and the bowl might be 3" deep in the center. Maybe it holds a cup, anything larger would spill out while you are making whatever you are making. If you were just using it to put something in it, like a dip maybe you could pile on 2 cups.

20 oz (2.5 cups) when filled up to the very top. 8 to 12 oz would be the proper amount to be served in this bowl.

I would guess small since water volume is decreased in the bowl. I have two dogs , one 58 obx and the other 80 lbs and I have two extra large bowls. I need to refill them typically 3 times a day and not in the summer. Highly recommend the bowls which I have a set for food as well.

The bowl holds exactly 4 quarts for normal use. It will hold slightly more - about 1/2-3/4 liquid cup - before it overflows but would spill if you tried to move it with the additional liquid. I use it for to make Chex mix in microwave and put more than 4 quarts in the bowl to cook, but it is difficult to stir without spilling over bowl rim. I would have preferred a 6 quart but could not find a larger one for the microwave.

Hi Erin! The bowl capacity is exactly 4 cups. I'm not sure about the BPA thing - but it says on the bottom of the bowl "Food Contact Approved by FDA". (btw - this thing is the greatest little gadget! we love it!)

I actually got this bowl for my small yorkie>but I checked it out and it holds alittle more than 8oz. He won't eat out of anything that is not white inside and this has worked out great!!!!

Hi Joseph, The bowls are very small and tapered at the top. They only hold 6 oz. in each. Hope this helps! JS

I returned the set because they felt like plastic and fragile to me. The bowl was smaller than a normal cereal bowl & I would estimate that it held close to 8 ounces but I don't have the set to measure precisely.

The bowls have to be 24 oz each. They are definitely not each 48 oz. I have two of them for my two Bernese mountain dogs. I love them! Easy to clean!

I ordered two different sizes of this so am not sure which one your question relates to - the larger one or the smaller one. The larger one has 24 oz capacity and measures 6 1/2" in diameter across the top edge. The smaller one doesn't list capacity but same measurement taken across the top is 5 1/2". Hope this helps.

The side has measurements that go up to 24 oz. Nothing other that ounces. It actually holds a couple oz. more that 24.

I couldn't understand why this question was asked until did some checking and realized the sizes of the bowls were not included in the description. So I realized I wasn't sure of the largest bowl's size. I did a test--I was able to add 4 quarts of water to the bowl with a little room to spare. I do know it's not 8 quarts. It's still a good size bowl however. Hope this helps.
