Suitable for Hot and Cold Food

These moulded bagasse bowls can be used for freshly prepared hot food as well as cold and chilled dishes. The 340ml capacity is particularly useful for individual portions that do not require a large meal container.

Suitable hot-food applications include:

• Soups and broths
• Stews and casseroles
• Rice portions
• Pasta and noodles
• Hot vegetables
• Curries and saucy side dishes
• Mashed potatoes
• Beans and pulses
• Hot desserts
• Breakfast portions

Suitable cold-food applications include:

• Salads and slaws
• Fruit portions
• Cold pasta
• Rice and grain salads
• Deli sides
• Yoghurt and granola portions
• Desserts and puddings
• Cakes and sweet treats
• Snacks and tasting portions
• Buffet servings

Practical 340ml Portion Size

The 12oz capacity sits between a small tasting bowl and a full-size meal bowl. It provides enough room for individual soups, side dishes and desserts without using an unnecessarily large container.

This makes the bowls particularly useful for:

• Starter-sized soup portions
• Side salads and vegetables
• Rice or pasta accompaniments
• Individual dessert servings
• Children’s meal portions
• Buffet and event food
• Meal-preparation sides
• Food sampling and tasting menus

Actual serving capacity will depend on the type of food and the amount of space left below the rim. Avoid filling liquid dishes completely to the top.

Suitable for Soups and Wet Food

The moulded bagasse construction provides useful resistance to moisture and is suitable for serving soups, stews and other wet foods during normal foodservice use.

These are open food bowls rather than sealed transport containers. When serving liquid food for takeaway or delivery, use an appropriate compatible lid or an alternative securely lidded container where required.

Keep filled bowls upright and avoid overfilling, particularly when handling hot soup, sauces or other free-flowing food.

Strong Moulded-Fibre Construction

Bagasse fibres are formed into a rigid bowl shape, helping the container retain its structure when filled with hot, cold, wet or oily food.

This provides a sturdier feel than many lightweight disposable paper bowls and makes the product suitable for professional foodservice environments where bowls need to be filled and served quickly.

Support the bowl from underneath when carrying particularly hot or heavy portions.

Microwave Reheating Guidance

These bagasse bowls are suitable for appropriate short-duration microwave reheating. Use heating times suitable for the food type, quantity and microwave power.

Check the food regularly during reheating and stir liquid dishes where appropriate to distribute heat more evenly.

Both the food and bowl may become hot. Use suitable hand protection and take care when removing the bowl from the microwave.

Do not expose the bowls to open flames, grills or direct heating elements. Oven suitability should not be assumed unless the intended temperature and application have been specifically confirmed.

Freezer and Food-Preparation Use

The bowls may be used for suitable freezer-storage and meal-preparation applications. Allow sufficient space for food expansion, particularly when freezing meals containing liquid.

Follow appropriate food-safety procedures for cooling, freezing, storage and defrosting. Do not place very hot food directly into a freezer.

Check the bowl after freezing and defrosting before moving or reheating it, particularly when it contains a heavy or liquid portion.

What Is Bagasse?

Bagasse is the fibrous plant material remaining after juice has been extracted from sugarcane. The recovered fibres can be moulded into foodservice products such as bowls, plates, trays and takeaway containers.

Using moulded sugarcane fibre provides a plant-based alternative to conventional plastic and expanded-foam food packaging while retaining the strength needed for professional foodservice applications.

Compostable Foodservice Bowls

These bowls are made from bagasse fibre designed for composting under suitable conditions. Their ability to break down depends on the composting environment, food contamination and the collection or processing facilities available locally.

Check the disposal guidance provided by your local authority or commercial waste contractor. Compostable food packaging should not automatically be placed in conventional paper recycling, household garden waste or food-waste collections unless the relevant provider confirms that it is accepted.

Natural Presentation for Modern Food Service

The simple natural-white finish complements a wide variety of foods and serving environments. It provides a clean presentation without patterns, bright colours or branding that could distract from the food.

The bowls are suitable for casual takeaway service as well as catered events, workplace dining and buffet presentation.

• Takeaway restaurants

Storage and Handling Guidance

Store unused bowls in their original packaging in a clean and dry location. Keep them away from moisture, direct heat, prolonged sunlight and strong odours.

Keep the outer case closed until the bowls are required to help protect them from dust and accidental contamination.

Avoid crushing or placing excessive weight on stacked bowls. Separate them carefully when preparing for service to avoid damaging the rims.

Keep filled bowls upright and support them from underneath when carrying hot, heavy or liquid food.
