How versatile is this dish? Is it wide enough for regular flat food like meat, etc.? Is it deep enough for cereal and oatmeal?

I use mine just like I would a plate and serve entire meals on it. Keeps food from sliding off, which is great for younger kids. It is not deep enough (in my opinion) for cereal or oatmeal. Oh, it's also a great pie pan!

It is the size of a pie plate. I use it mostly to bring meat in from the BBQ, be cause if there are any juices I do not worry about spilling them. I have two and really like them both. Great for large salads.

its about the size of a pie plate. maybe one steak or porkchop, if you want. I usually bake pies and cakes and baked oatmeal in it

I occasionally have a large salad in this pie plate but I agree with the other review that it is too wide and shallow for cereal or oatmeal. The 28 oz soup/cereal bowl is a much better choice for a large serving of cereal or the 18 oz soup/cereal bowl for a regular portion of cereal.

meat works ok, oat meal yea depending on the quantity one packet would be all right depending on the amount of water added

It is a pie plate, just like pyrex or aluminum. It is attractive enough to use for a serving dish, and I suppose it might be nice for individual pasta. It would not be practical for cereal because it it too wide and not deep enough. There are better deals on cereal dish sets. Corelle Livingware Corelle Fun Packs, 5 Pieces, Winter Frost White

It's wide because the bowls hold a lot of cold cereal. They are also really deep. (6" wide and about 3" deep).

It would be fine for a larger family, especially at breakfast. it would be great for any meal. I assume the weight is twice that of the half griddle which could be awkward to handle.

The bowls are really designed for salads or small amounts of soups, it is about 1 1/2 inches deep. You can use if of course for cereal but you may need to have seconds!

I love my soup/pasta bowls, but I rarely use them for soup. I usually use them for pasta or as a dinner plate (small piece of chicken, rice & veggie). I don't think the are really deep enough for soup or cereal.

It is big enough for me to make oatmeal. I love this little pan so much that I bought another on at Bed, Bath, and Beyond same price.

You can set it for large or small kibble and I don't think it matters if it is round or flat - I use round and it is fine. The only problem I have had is that my cats turn the machine upside down trying to get more food out!

It is not deep enough to fry bacon, the grease would drip over the edges. However, it is perfect for pancakes and grilled cheese sandwiches. I highly recommend it. Hope this helps.

Yes, I've used it for more than just baking -casseroles, roasting meat or veggies. It is 2" deep. Mine is also a bit wider -almost 9 1/2" but 13" long

I have only cooked yogurt in this on the yogurt setting. It is very accurate at 110 on that setting. It also has a low and high setting I'm sure would be good for oatmeal, but I have not tried oatmeal. It is a great size for something like that though.

I think it would be fine, it's actually a pretty shallow dish (especially compared to the break-fast bowls).

it has fluted sides so I'm not sure. I gave it to my daughter and she loves it..I never thought of using it for food since it's metal but i guess that would work. it is pretty deep.

have not tried it yet. Hoping for it to work for oatmeal cooking with easy clean up. I do have their rice maker and use it all the time. Really easy clean up and no mess on the bottom like a rice steamer.

Hi...I'm sure you could use it to make pancakes...it is deep...but yes, I'd make pancakes in it if that's what you have. I use a long rectangle griddle to make my pancakes, but that's because I'm feeding a lot of people :)

I think if the meat was already cooked it would be fine. I've not cooked non rice dishes in it yet. My daughter makes steel cut oats in it and it comes out great.

Yes, it's big enough to make oatmeal for one. I love mine. I also use it to steep tea.

I use it for breakfast and lunch. Light on the items you put in it. Works very well. My family love it. Example: egg, cheese, and sausage.
