Given it's the holiday season, we've used these tonnes in the last month. This size has been great for salads and barbecued stuff, all sorts of prepared things. It's good to have this shape too, we already had other round lidded bowls (although the Put a Lid On It ones are excellent), but all the rectangles with lids are a bit to plain/formal/not entertaining friendly so this has been a great addition to our collection (maybe they'll do oval one day too, because I'd definitely buy that shape too)
