Learn how to serve soups and stews in the Duralex Lys Marine 51cl glass bowl. Tips on portioning, reheating, and table presentation.
Quick answer
The Lys Marine 51cl bowl is ideal for hearty single-serving soups and stews, thanks to its generous capacity, easy-grip handles, and tempered glass that withstands microwave reheating and dishwasher cleaning.
Why the 51cl capacity works for soups and stews
A standard soup portion is around 300–400 ml (10–14 oz), leaving room in the 510 ml bowl for broth, chunks of meat or vegetables, and a garnish. The bowl's wide rim also makes it easy to ladle and stir without spilling.
The tempered glass handles thermal shock up to 130°C (per EN 1183), so you can safely reheat leftovers directly in the microwave. Just avoid sudden temperature changes—don't place a hot bowl on a cold countertop.
Table presentation tips
The deep marine blue color adds a rich contrast to creamy soups or tomato-based stews. Pair with neutral-toned tableware to let the bowl stand out. The side handles also make it easy for guests to hold a warm bowl.
How to serve soups and stews in the Lys Marine 51cl bowl
- Portion the stew: Fill the bowl to about 3/4 full (roughly 380 ml) to leave room for stirring and to prevent overflow when reheating. A common mistake is overfilling, which makes the bowl hard to carry and can spill in the microwave. Use a ladle to measure portions; 3/4 full is ideal.
- Reheat safely: Place the bowl in the microwave and heat in 1-minute intervals, stirring between each. The tempered glass handles microwave use, but avoid heating empty or adding cold liquid to a hot bowl. Always stir between intervals to distribute heat evenly.
- Serve with style: Place the bowl on a small plate or trivet to catch drips and protect surfaces. The side handles let guests hold the bowl comfortably even when the contents are warm. Use a trivet; the handles stay cooler than the bowl body.
- Clean up: Rinse immediately after use to prevent food from drying on the glass. The bowl is dishwasher-safe, so you can place it on the top rack for thorough cleaning. Dishwasher cleaning is fine; avoid abrasive scrubbers that could scratch the glass.
