I don't use mine a lot either, but I like it. I don't think it is hard to clean. I made pumpkin cakes out of them in September and sold 4 or 5 of them. I've also heard of people making little meatloafs in them and using the Easy Accent Decorator to pipe mashed potatoes on or around them. I think one of the cookbooks has a recipe for brownie that you can make and then each person can put toppings on theirs.

Sorry I am late in posting this... hope you picked up on one of these for personal use though.
For the entire month of January I offered a Soup and Slippers show. I used the mini fluted for my soup bowls. So quick and easy, and I sold a ton of them!
Turn the pan upside down, spritz with oil. Take a pillsbury Pizza crust roll, roll it out and cut it into 6 squares. Take each square, and lay it on top of each of the wells of the fluted mini (so the crust drapes over). Then bake for 10-12 at 375*. Pop them off and the bread bowls fit nicely into a regular corelle bowl for stability.
