Hi All,

I had a guest ask me and I'm not 100% sure so I thought I'd ask....are the pinch bowls leak proof?? I know they are snug fit lids but does that mean the same as leak proof?????

Thanks,
Becky
 
Probably not. You could fill one with water and try it... but I don't think they're "guaranteed" to be leak proof.

Thats what I thought but wasn't 100% sure. Thanks
 
my lids aren't that snug. Unlike the prep bowls, you can't put them in the oven, either.
 
a little off topic, but who thinks the littlest bowl is just soooo darned cute! I have to show everyone my little bowl. Of course they all ask what I use it for, thats where I'm lost, I've never used it! LOL

You can put your pre-measured spice in there. I loved the story that someone shared a while ago. I can't remember what month it was. They had a guy propose to the host's daughter. (wait, I might have the relationship wrong there...) But anyway, the guy and the host pre-arranged with the consultant. They wrapped the ring in tissue paper or something and had the soon to be fiance show off the pinch bowl set because it was the guest special that month. It was funny because when she got to the smallest one, she said something like "now what on earth could you put in this one" and that's when the guy came over and got down on his knee. I might have butchered the story.... sorry! :) But it was so cute whoever it was that posted it.
 
awwww how sweet!
 
When people ask about the smallest bowl, I give them two of my favorite ideas. First, if you take medications it's just the right size for most people to take their day's supply with them. Or, if you take your rings off when you wash dishes (which you should) you can put them in the bowl, snap on the lid, and place it behind the sink or on the window sill. your rings will stay dry and safe.
