Silipint Lidded Bowl Set

A set of three lidded bowls (10oz, 20oz, and 30oz) that function well and have nice secure lids and non-slip silicone surfaces. Smallest one is good for a cup or small container, biggest one makes for a great bowl. Easy to use and easy to clean. Just wish the sizes were a little different.

Conditions: 

I’ve used the Silipint Lidded Bowl Set for three months and have tested them in a variety of manners, including:

• Storing trail snacks

• Storing soup to be reheated later

• Making soup while hunting in the backcountry

• Storing kid’s snacks for road trips and day hikes

• As a cup for both hot and cold drinks (I’ve only used the smallest of the three bowls for this).

Most of my testing has occurred during winter months in the Mid-Atlantic, meaning I’ve had the bowls exposed to cold temps and haven’t noticed any impact on usability due to cold temps. They seem to insulate fairly well, but they aren't meant to hold hot things hot or cold things cold for an all-day adventure.  

Use and Features: 

Three bowls, three lids. Pretty easy to figure out which goes with which. However, I would prefer there was a bigger difference in the sizes of the three bowls. Currently, the package comes with a 10oz, 20oz, and 30oz bowl, which do nest inside one another pretty easily, but not as entire self-contained system (sort of annoying). I wish they could all nest inside with the lid fastened, but oh well.

Personally, I don’t find much use for the 20oz bowl. I mostly either use the 10-oz or the 30-oz ones. I do find myself wishing for a larger than 30-oz. bowl though, so something like a 10oz and 24oz and a 40oz would probably be my ideal set. Maybe someone who isn’t often sharing these with kids like I am, would prefer the smaller sizes as they currently are. I just find them a little too small for some practical uses like taking food for four or taking two fairly large food items. 

Aside from their sizes, I really like the bowls’ design features like the material (food grade silicone), the shape (they nest well together), and functional, secure lid. My two-year-old has quickly figured out how to open the lids, so I’d call that pretty easy. I can even open and close the lids with most winter gloves on. 

Best of all, the bowls are no slip. Really, truly, no slip or slide, even when a kiddo is messing around with them. Sure, they could be knocked over (it’s not like they have a suction cup on the bottom of them like some kid-friendly products do), but they really have been easy for everyone in our family to use with no spilling taking place thus far. 

Cleaning and Care:

The Silipint Lidded Bowls are microwavable, freezable, and dishwasher safe. The only conceivable place not to use them would be over an open flame or on a stovetop (yes, the manufacturer claims you can even bake with them up to 450F/232C, but I have yet to try that). Otherwise, use them however you want. The most aromatic things I’ve used them for include soups and leftovers like Garlic Sesame Noodles and Cajun-inspired casseroles. After washing the bowls, I’ve noticed zero lingering aromas or stains on the bowls.

Weight:

10oz bowl w/ lid = 5.5oz or 154g

20oz bowl w/ lid = 9.5oz or 269g

30oz bowl w/ lid = 12.5oz or 354g

Complete set combined = 1 lb 11.5oz or 777g 

Options: 

The Silipint Lidded Bowl Sets come in a couple different color options. Mine is the “Speckled Blue” version, which harkens to the days of the camping industry-standard blue enamel cookware. Currently, other options include red speckled, gray, blue, "aurora" and some sale-priced options in other colors like pink, purple and green. 

If you didn’t want the entire three bowl set, each of the individual bowls/lids are available to purchase, but note that buying the set saves $5 from buying the same pieces individually. 

Recommendation:

While it’d be easy to say “anyone” could find a good use for nice lidded bowls like these when camping or picnicking, I’ll try to be a little bit more specific about my recommendation…I recommend these for folks who transport pre-made food (not granola bars and water), those who want a kid-friendly food container option either on road trips or camping adventures, and for those who want a quieter open/close option for their food in the backcountry (hunters, birdwatchers, etc.) 

Background

I've been taking food into the backcountry for many years, whether it's during camping trip, day hikes, or hunting adventures.
