These bowls have the ability to hold cold and hot foods. This foam bowl is great for serving guests at your picnic, party, or catered event! The bowl is insulated to make sure that food temperatures remain constant throughout your guest's entire meal. It is also non-absorbent to prevent any liquids from leaking through. Plus, unlike non-laminated foam products, this glossy bowl boasts a laminated surface that is cut resistant for added durability.
