Squishy Bowls by Guyot Designs

These Squishy Bowls, by Guyot Designs, are absolutely awesome. I got a pack of two...one is smaller and is actually considered a cup...but I have used both for bowls. The idea behind these bowls is that they're a light weight and flexible option for eating and cooking from that are great for the lunch box, day pack, and any other "on the go" use you can think of.

Made of food grade silicone, these bowls can be squished down and then they pop right back to their original shape even after extended periods of storage. I actually store the large one squished up inside the smaller one. This allows them to be packed anywhere in your pack without taking up much room and conforming to any smaller area of your pack.

These bowls can also take a lot of heat (up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. They are microwave and dishwasher safe and I've used them quite a bit to make a quick bowl of Ramen noodles in the microwave and added boiling water to them for oatmeal. They haven't deformed or shown any signs of damage whatsoever.

As I said, they're dishwasher safe, but cleanup is a breeze. The outside of the bowls have a very slight texture to help grip the bowl, but the inside is nice and smooth which helps to make cleanup easy. plus, since they're flexible you can turn the bowl/cup inside out to help clean it easier.

Available in many different sizes and colors, you're sure to find one that will come in handy for you.
