Tips And Advice for Disposable Soup Bowls

Soup can be the perfect meal. All you need is a spoon, a bowl and a microwave and you can make a delicious meal that combines meat, vegetables and the essential nutrients you need to get through the day.

But the meal isn't always so easy to eat. For example, if you're eating lunch on the go, you can't just pick it up and take it to the car unless you want to sip from a mug. You could pack it in a container for lunch at work, but you'd be worried about leaks and keeping it warm. There's always the option of carrying around bowls and spoons that fit in your bento box, but that adds extra work. You have to clean them, store them and remember to take them with you when you need them.

This is where disposable cutlery and tableware come in handy. You may want to avoid using regular paper bowls as even the best ones have challenges with soup unless you plan to eat it all soon. For soup, you need a sturdy disposable bowl that can be filled with steaming hot liquid goodness.

Although plastic is often better for food than paper because it is stronger, concerns about leaching have made people wary of using plastic. This is because, when heated to higher temperatures, plastic can release toxic chemicals that can be transferred to the food you ingest.

The good news is that the debate about paper versus plastic soup bowls is not all bad. In response to concerns about plastic, manufacturers have introduced disposable paper bowls that are leak-proof even when pressed down with the heaviest broth. These bowls will have a thicker construction and may feature alternative fibre materials that not only strengthen them but are also more environmentally friendly. Look for materials that are both biodegradable and sustainably sourced as environmentally friendly alternatives to traditional paper plates and bowls.

These materials include bagasse, which is made by crushing sugar cane stalks and removing the juice, and can be made into various types of consumer products. It is more responsibly sourced than traditional materials and has the added advantage of being biodegradable. Most importantly, it is a more robust material capable of handling heavy liquids.

Wheat straw is another popular material currently used for making soup bowls. Through this process, the wheat left over after harvest is used to make paper to reduce the damage to trees. Wheat straw is also biodegradable, making it a natural and environmentally friendly option.

A major advantage of plastic soup bowls is that they can be washed and reused. Traditional paper bowls do not offer this option, but if you want to rinse and reuse, a number of materials such as bagasse and wheat straw will do the trick.

Tips and advice for disposable soup bowls

Soup is usually heated in the microwave. If you want to pour your soup into a bowl before reheating it, always look for microwaveable disposable bowls.

Certain types of paper can absorb foods with a high liquid content, such as soup. You will need to find a paper disposable bowl that does not absorb moisture. This will keep your soup container from getting soggy in the middle of a meal.

Disposable bowls are usually sold in different quantities. If you buy a large set, make sure you have somewhere to store your paper bowls.

Look for a bowl with a rim so you can grab something, especially if your soup will heat up the ingredients. However, if you are enjoying heavier foods such as soup, which may spill over the rim, be careful to grab the rim.

You may need rubbish bowls for parties and picnics. After all, a large pot of soup or a big pot of chilli can feed a small group of people. Disposable bowls make things easier, especially if your party is held outdoors, and cut down on clean-up time.
