What are the black bowls attached for? Are they just for storage/used towels or do you put warm water in them? I

I use the top bowl for fresh warm water, the bottom for used towels, implements etc yes.

Keeping them in water not sure. But, We put ours in a big bowl from my daughters wedding and left them on our kitchen counter for weeks with out water they shrunk a little. Then my wife used them as a center piece, she just added water back and the rehydrated back to full size.

There is a small shelf/rack on the bottom that you can place towels on. You can't put toiletries on it since the shelf has open slats.

Yes you can keep the towels warming in there all the time no problem. It takes about 5 minutes for them to get warm.

I am very happy with the depth of my black bowls. They are wonderful for soup or chili. I think you are correct, it is an optical illusion.

I put cloth napkins between each bowl and that keeps them from chipping. If you wanted to spend less money you could do paper towels. If you wanted to spend more, there are ones made to place between pots but work for bowls just as well. Hope that helps.

Someone is pulling your leg !!!!! I can't believe you would really think to pay that price. I've have used them for many yrs and they are GREAT !!!! No need to use paper towels( less for the trash ), just put them in the soap with the other dishes. When they get holes in them, throw them away. I use to buy them at WAl-Mart and Miles Kimble,they don't sell them anymore, so I get them here . You will enjoy them.

You can do either.. I usually use hot tap water because I'm usually in a hurry and I've found either way works the same.. The water simply re-hydrates them, it's what you do with them afterwards that makes them yummy.. ^^

Your kidding, right? I have found the bowls are barely "warm " to the touch. Just came in from letting flock out of their coops. It is 12 degrees and water was still perfect, & kept them hydrated through the night. Mine sets on a short wooden box. Perhaps if you put them on a additional heated surface but that is even hard for me to buy into. They are a blessing to us.

We've had ours for several years. Little electric power used and it won't warm up the room. It just helps the towels to dry a little faster and gives them a little warmth when you grab it from a shower/bath. If you want just warm towels for shower, then turn it off after shower, and on again the morning/evening before your next shower. It takes several hours before the towel will feel warm.

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.

Hi! Great question. I believe the bowl is used when you pour soup into it from another container, like a thermos or something. Then you just wipe it out and put it back together. My son uses it for dry foods like crackers or fruit.

If you are thinking of using the microwave to boil water in these bowls, I would recommend against it. If it didn't break it would be too hot to handle and could crack when you take it out and put it on the counter. It would probably be okay to pour boiled water into the bowl, as long as you have a spoon in it or something to "temper" the hot liquid hitting the surface of the (cooler) bowl.

yes, but not for water. They would hold something else. There is only one water dish

There are slots on the bottom of the dish to allow for drainage. The dish also can be removed from the holder for washing.

You can place hot items such as soups in this bowl. I have put the bowl in the microwave with no problems.

i don't see why not, except that it is an electrical device which needs a plug and you wouldn't want to be messing with electrical devices dripping wet. another but is that the towels do not get HOT, hot. they are just pleasantly warm. in the middle of winter, that would probably not sufficeto keep you warm til you got inside.
