Baby Stainless Steel Bowls, 2-Piece Feeding Dish Set

Two stainless steel bowls sounds unglamorous, and that is rather the point. These are the bowls you reach for every day: one for the meal, one for the fruit afterwards, both able to survive a toddler and a dishwasher without going cloudy or cracked.

What makes it work

• Two bowls in the set, which covers a main and a second course without a mid-meal wash
• Stainless steel that resists staining from tomato, berry and carrot
• Rounded interior with no tight corners for food to hide in
• Light enough for a child to hold, sturdy enough not to buckle
• Nest together for storage and for packing into a nursery bag

Suitable from the point your child eats soft solids through to school-age snacks. Wash in warm soapy water or the dishwasher, and dry before nesting so no moisture is trapped between them.

Common questions

Why two rather than one? A second bowl means fruit or yoghurt can be served without stopping to wash up mid-meal, which matters more than it sounds at teatime.

Will steel stain from strong foods? Stainless steel is far more resistant to staining than plastic, which is the main reason parents move across to it.

Can these be used for hot food? Steel conducts heat, so serve food warm rather than hot and check the temperature before it reaches your child.
