Is it possible to use to serve other things, like a veggie &amp; dip tray? Can you flip over the base and then have a bowl attached to the plate? Thanks!

Yes. I just checked and flipped mine over. Excellent idea. There are sections for different kinds of chips or veggies. For sure use it for what ever you want.

It is a bit smaller than the dinner plate, so I use mine as a luncheon plate and/or a dessert plate. A sandwich and a few chips fit right on there!

Absolutely. If you'd like to have the grill grooves on both sides of what you are cooking I'd just flip the food over.

I've not seen any offered. Most likely you cannot find any made specifically for the bowls. You could likely get the size of the opening and then get the lids separately from a different vender. The bowls are beautiful and work well as serving bowls. But they are too small for most of my kitchen mixing use. Only the largest of the three has practical mixing use.

You can use a bowl but it isn't necessary, I use the container and it works just fine.

Yes we can. Let the first side cook for a while until golden brown and, with adequate oil used initially (not much needed actually), it won't stick. We can flip it over quite easily. I use a wooden chopstick to lift up the edge and then with the other hand, a spatula to flip it over. Practice makes it easier.

Sorry, I have not tried that. I usually just put down an oven mitt and place the dish from the oven on the mitt until it have cooled a little. I have formica - like countertops, so I don't like to put a such a hotdish directly on the countertop.

I haven't actually used it as a punchbowl yet. But, you are correct in that the base must be flipped upside down and then the lid is flipped and set on that. Both peices have the heft to serve this use with ease. In addition, the base is designed to be used by itself as a appetizer dish with sections for carrots, celery, olives, cheese, etc. and some dip or dressing in the center.

It's really not the right shape. A dish pan would work much better for that purpose. Likely this bowl would tip over if used for that purpose.

I definitely would NOT do that with a food processor. It's really best to use a mixer that explicitly says it's made to handle that (whether a hand mixer or the pricey type with an included bowl that works on its own).

We don't have dish. But it broke pretty soon after we bought it. Good luck!

No Diane. You need to use both hands to use both of them. If you had to hold the plate, the hand is big enough theoretically to use one to scoop up some salad like a big spoon, but to get the most effective use, you need to have one in each hand and scoop the salad onto a plate that is stationary.

I really hadn't paid any attention to that until you asked the question. And happily, the answer is yes! There is a center circle on the bottom of the plate and the sides come up from there. You could easily serve pasta or something in a sauce on these plates. And the dinner plates are of very ample size. I hope I have been able to help you.

I bought a different set for serving bowls and my china did not have small bowls- not sure what I might have done if it did- if they are small might be able to buy one for cups or look around and see what options there are for bowls- definitely would not fit in the one pictured. That is just for flat plates and saucers.

No, extra serving cups are not available separately. I wish they were. They are better for sauces. I am going to as my husband to try to make something to attach more serving cups to make it more useful, as 8 of these would easily fit. With 8, they could be used for items to be dipped (fruit or veggie pieces for cheese or chocolate fondue), but they are smaller than what we would normally use, though not as small as on other lazy susan sets. I have now used them for both sauces (a bit big for sauces), and for pears, mushrooms, and onions to dip in cheese fondue. They worked well for both, but would work better if there were more of them.

The literature and website say you can...I have not done that... for salads and the like, the container work great...John H.

Yes. There is a round piece of hard rubber, almost the circumference of the bowl, on the bottom. You could knock it over, but it won't just tip over, or dump contents if you brush up against it, etc. The rubber keeps it from slipping off of surfaces too. It's a great little product. I use it whenever I take screws out of anything.
