Eating a proper bowl of food at the table has become quite popular, especially when you want to mix different vegetables and grains together. Having a pile of mismatched plastic dishes makes the dinner table look a bit chaotic when you invite guests over. A set of matching stoneware containers is a sensible way to present a healthy meal without making it look complicated.
The Costa Nova ceramic stoneware multicolour set of 6 poke bowls is made from a recycled clay formula called Ecogres. Every bowl has a nice matte glaze on the inside while the outside remains unglazed, which gives a proper grip when you hold it in your hands. They measure about 18 centimetres across, which is a practical size for holding a decent portion of rice and salad.
The Costa Nova stoneware is fired at high temperatures, meaning it does not chip easily when you put it in the dishwasher or microwave. Because they are stackable, they will not occupy too much space in a small kitchen cupboard.
Costa Nova was started in Portugal with a focus on preserving European ceramic traditions using local natural resources. It is interesting to note that their design inspiration comes from the Atlantic coast, even though poke bowls originally come from Hawaii. They reuse the heat from their kilns to run other machinery, which is a reasonable way to reduce their ecological footprint.
This Costa Nova poke bowl stoneware set is also available on Amazon.
