These ‘Durable’ Pasta Bowls Are on Sale at Amazon

We here at Food & Wine adore eating outside. Whether we’re nibbling on snacks by a pool, toasting marshmallows over a fire pit, or scarfing down homemade smoked ribs at a barbecue, rest assured that we’ll be dining under the sun and stars as often as possible come summer.  

Alas, our dishes aren’t as pleased as we are to be one with the elements. Since uneven, rocky surfaces have led to the demise of far too many of our wine glasses and stoneware plates, we’ve decided to lean into melamine. But there’s a catch: Instead of buying a complete outdoor dinnerware set, for which we have neither the room nor the inclination to store, we’re grabbing Lehaha’s pasta bowls while they’re on sale at Amazon. 

Lehaha Farmhouse Melamine Pasta Bowls, Set of 6 

Ever since pasta bowls came into our lives, we’ve hardly touched our regular dishes. Cereal bowls are too narrow for easy tossing and plates are too flat for easy scooping, but “blates” are just right for both. They’re wide, shallow, and perfectly concave for hearty salads, buttery noodles, thick stews, and everything in between. And now that we found Lehaha’s gorgeous melamine set selling for only $5 apiece, we can’t help but think we hit the jackpot. 

BPA-free melamine is the industry standard for shatter-resistant, dishwasher-safe, and outdoor-friendly dishes. While the material could crack if you try hard enough, one happy Amazon shopper wrote that Lehaha’s set is “resistant to breaking” and another called the bowls “lightweight” and “durable.” Customers also rave about their “gorgeous” design and diversity of colors. Available in red, white, teal, gray, and a coastal seahorse pattern, it’s easy to find a style that suits your kitchen. Whatever color you choose, remember that these bowls aren’t suitable for use in a microwave or oven.

With busy summer hosting schedules, there’s never been a better time to grab Lehaha’s melamine pasta bowls. For just $5 apiece, they're more than capable of surviving a rowdy pool day.
