Anyone using the Xbowl or Plate??

[Gripper]

I picked up a couple of these last week and so far have found the bowl to be great. They pack nice and flat and work well for both hot and cold food. There is supposed to be a cup coming to which would be interesting...

Here's a link to the bowls;

Heh, I thought Guyout Designs's Squishy Bowls were cool.

Can get folding pastic cups from military surplus, they fold in half height-wise.

Hey Gripper,

I've looked at them online, what stops them from colapsing in use?

Hi

I have a couple of the Swedish Army cups that fold down pretty small. The X Bowls are made from some sort of silicon and are pretty rigid when in the bowl position then just fold flat when not in use. They are about .6L so pretty good for soup etc...

Thanks for the heads-up Gripper

I have a swedish army cup which is pretty good but could do with being about 1 pint

You're not wrong there Shewie, they are even a bit on the small side for a decent brew...

So they're like the silicon baking tins ?

Hmmm, okay.......who's tried them

cheers,

Yes very similar to the silicon baking tins but a little more rigid with a very firm base that they also advertise can double as a cutting board.

Sounds excellent

Anyone know where we can get them in the UK ?

I've got a set of the origami plates and mug, and they're pretty good too though.

cheers,

Here in Oz they are made by Sea to Summit, pretty sure they have dealers in the UK...

Best I can find is the plate at £14 and the bowl at £9............I think I'll stick with the ones I have just now
Interesting though.

cheers,
Toddy
