Is it just me, or has other people noticed that all the stars of Food Network started using this bowl? I’ve seen Ina Garten, Paula Deen, Rachel Ray, Giada De Laurentiis, Anne Burrell, and Sunny Anderson using it 
I was at Walmart the other day, to pick up a electric/cordless kettle (which they don’t carry the one I like anymore, my last one died after many many uses…), and I saw the bowl and I carried it around me with while I looked for my kettle. After about 30 minutes I decided I needed it. It was less than $5 and everyone on Food Network seemed to be using it in their shows.
After using it a few times, I finally realized why they used this on the shows. The main reason is because you can see the side profile of the dishes instead of just a top view. But… even though I don’t have much use for that reasoning, I like that it doesn’t take up so much space on my table top -Koreans use up a lot of table top space with the many many side dishes and it is sort of pretty with all the yummy foods mixed in. I’ve been using it for salads, but I think it can be used for other dishes too…
Since it’s under $5 I might pick up another one maybe even a smaller size one as well? hopefully they still carry it by the time I get around to going to the nearest Walmart again…
