Y YHY Pasta Bowls Review

by

Pasta bowls can do anything—seriously. Beyond pasta, these half-plate, half-bowl vessels elegantly hold salads, stir-fry, soups, desserts, and more. A great pasta bowl should stand up to daily use, be easy to clean, and of course, be a pleasure to eat out of. After testing 12 different pasta bowls, the scratch-resistant, dishwasher-safe Y YHY pasta bowls ranked among our top picks, impressing us with their perfectly sloped sides for holding all kinds of textures and consistencies. Best of all, they’re now on sale at Amazon for only $6 apiece.

During our tests, the Y YHY pasta bowls did nearly everything that the winning Le Creuset bowls could, but at a fraction of the price. Now that they’re on sale, these pasta bowls are only $36 for a set of six. Since they are safe to go in the oven and microwave, the versatile bowls are great for quick and easy weekday meals. Plus, they’re dishwasher-safe for hassle-free cleanup,  and the durable bone china stands up to consistent use.  

Weighing just over a pound and measuring 5.5 inches in diameter at the base, each Y YHY pasta bowl comfortably held a generous mound of spaghetti during our swirling test, staying stable on the table. Plus, the depth of the bowl kept tomato sauce from escaping. Truly the Goldilocks of pasta bowls, the mid-sized Y YHY bowls are not too light and not too heavy. Right now, you can grab a set of six for just $6 apiece at Amazon.
