Glass Bowl Luminarc APY 16 cm, white, heat-resistant tableware

The Luminarc APY 16 cm glass bowl in white is a compact, heat-resistant tableware item designed for everyday use. Made of tempered glass, the bowl offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into home kitchens, cafés and buffet setups. Its 16 cm diameter and shallow curved profile make it suitable for serving soups, salads, desserts and various side dishes while maintaining thermal stability for common hot and cold servings.

Advantages

The bowl is manufactured from tempered glass, which increases resistance to thermal shocks and mechanical stress compared with ordinary glass. Its white, translucent finish provides a neutral presentation that highlights the food without competing with table settings. The smooth surface is easy to clean and compatible with standard dishwasher cycles, supporting efficient turnover in commercial or domestic settings.

Suitable for

• Serving soups, broths and consommés
• Presenting individual salads and side dishes
• Portioning desserts such as puddings, custards and fruit salads
• Use in cafés, small restaurants, buffet stations and home dining

When it may not be suitable

This 16 cm bowl is not designed for very large portions or for use as a mixing vessel for dough or bulky ingredients. Although tempered, it is not impact-proof; strong knocks against hard surfaces or extreme mechanical force can cause chips or breakage. It is also not intended for use directly over an open flame or on stovetop burners.

Key specifications

• Material: tempered/heat-resistant glass
• Diameter: 16 cm
• Color/finish: white, translucent
• Shape: shallow rounded bowl profile
• Cleaning: dishwasher-safe (standard cycles)

How to use

Use the bowl to serve individual portions of hot or cold dishes. Allow very hot liquids to rest briefly after heating before pouring to reduce thermal shock. Place the bowl on a stable, heat-resistant surface and avoid abrupt temperature changes such as moving directly from freezer to very hot oven or vice versa. After use, rinse to remove residues and place in the dishwasher or wash by hand with mild detergent and a non-abrasive sponge.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a 16 cm diameter fits your portion size requirements
• Consider the quantity required for service: single pieces for home use versus sets for commercial use
• Check compatibility with your dishwasher and storage space

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid subjecting the bowl to sudden extreme temperature changes; when serving very hot soups, pre-warm the bowl with warm water. Stack carefully to prevent chipping and use non-abrasive cleaning materials to preserve the finish.
