Hi Krystal, it is pretty good sized. I would say about 4 feet long. So it would depend on the size of the cups on whether it can fit. I typically use if for large serving bowls and can get three of them in it comfortably, with some room for condiments.

Hi, I put mine in the fridge and keep them there till I use them. I use about 3 1/2 cups for a wheat berry salad every week. I'm just about to order more.

You will need at least two and maybe more. My service for 8 just barely fits with just a few serving items. You want to be able to fold over the edges to keep air from seeping in. Doris

I ordered it so I could have two. Helps when I'm doing several recipes to have two bowls and two debaters. I dishwasher mine just for ewe. Still using the one I got 25 years ago so I guess it's okay.

One bowl is not as small as it shown on the picture. Smaller bowl is not attached and removable and is about twice as small than the opposite bowl that is part of the unit. I hope this helps!

they are huge it makes for a great salad but it is two large for a bowl of soup or cereal you end up underestimating how much is in the bowl. I also bought the salad plates they aren't packed well so shipping is a problem but they are better for salad

The mini is the perfect size for 1-2 cups, like berries or a few veggies. It stores flat or even standing upbeside items in your cabinet. I would say the only difference being they are marketing it as for berries only when in fact you could use it for anything that will fit. The mini is great

The portions would need to be quite small for the bowls to have two items. They would best for single items or soup.

I would say 2 cups ... it's not big. You could possibly get 3 cups in there ... but it's going to be really, really full. This little thing is super handy for small jobs ... I love it!

Hello. First of all I have to say that I love this little box. WHen i first got it it did look too small. What was I going to put in this for lunch? However, once I started putting food in the little box I was amazed of how much you can fit. The trick is to cut up you food in small pieces and you will be amazed. I usually will pack a salad and then I will have meats, sardines, shrimp, or chicken. Again the trick is to cut up your food in small pieces. You can customize the box by taking out the inserts. I take out one side and that is the side that I have the salad on. Believe me you will love this product. My wife likes it so much she wants one too now. Hello.

I would use one cup. But it depends on how strong you want it. This would be an average strength.

Mine loved it. I only had one, but you could probably put 2-3 in it. It's fairly large.

I was investigating the same thing when I bought mine. As far as I know there are only two sizes, 2 qt. and a smaller qt. size. My mom has the smaller version and you can barely squeeze a decent serving for three people out of that one. My advice is get a 2 qt. machine. It's better built, the bowls are bigger, and thicker walled, and you can always make less. My Unit is the STAINLESS STEEL 2 qt. model number CIM-60PC, I don't know what the black model number is for the same size? You might try going on cuisinart.com and emailing them that question. I remember being confused about the lack of info on amazon when I bought this one, but I was after the stainless steel model. I was investigating the same thing when I bought mine.

Just one If I remember right. I bought two to use different kinds of pasta. I don't find them convienent. It's hard to fit long spaghetti in them.

it is quite small. it will hold lettuce enough for 2 or 3 side salads or half a bag of spinach.

I would buy the bigger one - this only holds maybe one cup of food-if you are using it to control how much he eats then this would be fine.

I have to agree with Ms. Holiday. This particular model only comes with two serving sizes. I use the smaller size most of the time. You just have measure out how much you need. It is easy to clean.
