bowl

A bowl is a typically round dish or container generally used for preparing, serving, or consuming food. The interior of a bowl is characteristically shaped like a spherical cap, with the edges and the bottom forming a seamless curve. This makes bowls especially suited for holding liquids and loose food, as the contents of the bowl are naturally concentrated in its center by the force of gravity. The exterior of a bowl is most often round, but can be of any shape, including rectangular.
The size of bowls varies from small bowls used to hold a single serving of food to large bowls, such as punch bowls or salad bowls, that are often used to hold or store more than one portion of food. There is some overlap between bowls, cups, and plates. Very small bowls, such as the tea bowl, are often called cups, while plates with especially deep wells are often called bowls.
In many cultures, bowls are the most common kind of vessel used for serving and eating food. Historically, small bowls were also used for serving both tea and alcoholic drinks. In Western culture plates and cups are more commonly used.

    Unlevel toilet bowl and not floor

    Hello, I’ve recently fitted two toilets in the same property and found that I needed to level them. Initially I thought it was the floor but it’s actually the toilet bowls themselves. I’m assuming that as they are made of ceramics they could be slightly out in terms of accuracy? Is this semi common?

    How do I totally rid tank and toilet bowl of floating white mold

    I read a slight report that TREE TEA OIL was the best solution. I have tried straight bleach, after diluting it in prior tests. Did little or NOTHING. Citric acid is said to maybe help, but not REMEDY. I’m seeking something to halt growth for 60-120 days!

    Why does my toilet bowl have a hole?

    I have what i believe is a German made toilet bowl. At the back just above the pan outlet is a small round hole (obviously created when manufactured). What is this for and why doesn't water come out when you flush?
