Customer questions about this product

What is the best way to care for my melamine item?

Avoid cutting directly on your melamine products with a serrated knife to prevent nicks and scratches. For additional guidelines, please refer to the Care and Use sheet included on this page.

These are absolutely beautiful. I was a little hesitant at first, but once they showed up I was so impressed. They’re super heavy duty, sleek, look like porcelain and are very big. Can be used to hold a number of things and very appealing. Will be getting more.

These bowls were good quality and we used them for a catering event for sauces, mayonaise and mustartd. They were deep enought and just the right size. We have used them more than once and they have still upheld their quality.

I needed something big enough to hold a large amount of my homemade pork skins. This bowl works great for that. It looks very nice as well. I think it is a good value.

Material is catering professional quality. The melamine gives your catering buffet a clean look. We use these 2288oz bowls for salad (potato, garden, pasta) and make for great dinner roll bowls. Place a linen in the bowl to wrap around the dinner rolls

Great Bowl! Bought for a dinner party for 15. The bowl itself is pretty lightweight however extremely durable. It was the perfect size to serve our guests. I would definitely recommend however keep in mind that melamine can discolor is you put some acidic like pasta sauce or salsa in it.

Im typically not a huge melamine fan. I prefer porcelain any day.. but the american metalcraft melamine serveware bowls and plates are actually really nice. I will say they tend to be more bright white than a typical porcelain piece.. so when using them side by side it bugs me a bit, but over all this is a really great larger size bowl!

I was very excited to get my shipment because my boss had already purchased one thru another company and it was way more expensive. It is exactly what I want we will be using them at a camp I cook for during the summer serving 650 campers & staff. The camp director is going to purchase more we use them for family style serving. Thank You so much

I know that this is an unusual use for these bowls---I am the spa director for a high end salon and day spa. My nail technicians use these bowls for manicures. They hold the perfect amount of water, are unbreakable, and give a clean, streamlined look to the nail stations. Perfect!

American Metalcraft never disappoints. These melamine bowls are sturdy and durable for all my catering needs. They hold hot and cold products great. Only down side is you have to wash by hand but at least they don't break easily.

Does look like porcelain from a distance but once you get up close and touch it, you can tell it's plastic. Anyway, good product does what it has to do.

this is a large, melamine bowl. It would say it is great for on ice salad bar, or as a family size salad bowl. Which is how we are using it. It serves up enough salad for 10 easily. It cleans with soap and water. and can I have NOT tried in a dish washer. As melamine, tends to loose it's sheen in dishwasher. I am not sure if it would be a waste to put through a commercial dishwasher, since it's a bit delicate. This will shatter, if dropped on a hard floor. and scratches fairly easily. But the UPSIDE, is it's size. This will hold 5 pounds of pasta for a salad bar. Do not use for HOT LIQUIDS OR HOT FOODS, this is a cold food bowl. It mixes well with bright white and bone china place settings.

American Metalcraft melamine bowls make display of food easy and extremely affordable. The white color makes the food "pop" and the squared edges make for a neat and professional presentation.
