May the soup/pasta bowls practically be used for cereal?? Would I need to purchase cereal bowls separately? We eat a lot of cereal so it is important

They can be used for cereal, but they are very shallow so it's not good if you like a lot of milk with your cereal. I ended up ordering the "fruit bowls" as a supplement. They are deeper but somewhat small, so that's the tradeoff. But maybe it's good to decrease the size of my cereal portions!

The bowls are really designed for salads or small amounts of soups, it is about 1 1/2 inches deep. You can use if of course for cereal but you may need to have seconds!

I think the bowel is more of a salad/pasta bowel. I think it is to shallow for cereal. We already had bowels we used for cereal so this wasn't a concern for me. I will say I LOVE LOVE these dishes. They are beautiful and microwave and dishwasher great. Hope this helps.

The soup bowls are pretty flat. We've been using them for cereal and work fine, but I plan on looking for some coordinating bowls that are better suited for cereal.

The soup "plates" - I know, odd to call a bowl a "plate"; I guess because it's shallow - is suitable for cereal too. They are about 8 inches in diameter, and 1-5/8 inches high, if that helps. I was able to put 2 cups of Kix plus milk in the soup plate, if that helps. I almost prefer the shallow sides, versus a steep sided, taller bowl. Don't own the pasta bowls. Regarding someone's answer about the fruit bowls, they are VERY small - might hold half as much cereal.

The bowls that come with the set are more soup bowls in that they are bigger around but shallow. We use them for cereal or soup. Hope this helps.

Not really...they are too big and shallow. I purchased the fruit bowls as well which are a nice shape but too small for cereal. This is an issue for this set. I ended up buying plain white cereal bowls and recently found blue ones to match the blue in the dishes. Love the pattern and would be happy if Caleca made cereal bowls for the North American market.

I love my soup/pasta bowls, but I rarely use them for soup. I usually use them for pasta or as a dinner plate (small piece of chicken, rice & veggie). I don't think the are really deep enough for soup or cereal.

We have never tried them in soup. My mom made "spaghetti" with the zucchini and it was delicious (for a veggie). I still prefer pasta! LOL.

I don't really know. I've been using Corelle products for years and have have been rewarded with years of outstanding performance. I use the bowls at least once a day.. and sometimes twice. They are a perfect size for breakfast cereals as well as soups. I highly recommend this product.

Hi MSL,Unfortunately, we do not offer just the bowls as a standalone item for purchase at this time. We will definitely look into this option in the future. Thank you for your interest in our product. Regards,Choco & Cherry

Not big enough for pasta, but almost too big for ice cream unless you like a large scoop. Bowls very nice for cereal or soup.

I think the soups spoons could be used as small serving spoons and the teaspoons are not the traditional size. But if you've seen true teaspoons they are almost useless in their application. I find the teaspoons are perfect for soups and such. That being said great flatware set for the price.

I serve oatmeal, spaghetti, ravioli, soup etc. In these bowls. I typically cook it in a separate container and then put it in the bowl.

They're more like very shallow cereal bowls......actually, I think they'd make perfect ice cream bowls. They are not deep enough for cereal, soup, oatmeal, etc.; however, they're perfect for a reasonable serving of ice cream.

It's awesome for soup and leftovers, just not oatmeal (unless it's instant- which I don't eat) Here's info http://sistemaplastics.com/products/microwave/Breakfast-Bowl Plastic but not normal cheap plastic. Won't stain or melt. We love for soup.

The black bowl is shallow. We use a different bowl for cereal! But, I LOVE these dishes.

The bowls in the set I bought for a rental property are more like cereal bowls. Pasta bowls tend to be larger and shallower. A great looking set of dishes for the price!

I love these bowls for cereal, snacks, fruit etc. but I do not use them or anything plastic for soup or hot foods.

Yes and no. If you have one simple dish like spaghetti then yes but if you have meat, rice and veggies and you don't want it all mixed together then no. I mainly use it for soups.

My husband ordered these bowls and we have thoroughly enjoyed their use. We aren't sure about whether they are rated for microwave use, but we personally would not use them in the microwave. There are small rubberized areas (handle and bottom of bowls) which, for us, would exclude this option.

These bowls are meant to be used for salads and soup. They are not Pyrex. A little light microwaving, OK. Boiling, no I don't think so. Find some Pyrex bowls for that.

Hi, I don't think you can purchase these bowls separately, but I have thought about buying an extra set just to have four more and knew that I would be able to use the larger bowl for anything. Very nice set and two would be great.

I purchased the matching bowls made by Red Vanilla. They are larger than the normal cereal bowl, as are the other setting pieces. They are also more expensive in relation to the other pieces so I asked for them as Christmas gifts. Hope this helps.
