As beautiful as they are functional, the range, offered in Lemon Yellow, Sea Green Cobalt Blue, Pitch Black and Antique White, is oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe.
The bowls heat evenly and retain heat efficiently. Cooking and baking with the lid on keeps moisture in and the temperature stable. Taking the lid off allows the top surface area to crust or brown, so just perfect for the best Cauliflower Cheese you'll ever make.
At Christmas time you can prep all the veggies and pop into the Hokan bowls on the festive table to keep warm until the centrespread is ready to make an appearance.
The volume of each bowl is determined by its height, which keeps all of the lids the same size for each bowl, so there's absolutely no need to search through the kitchen for the correct lid, they all work. You can also use the lids as a side dish. Smart? Definitely! Actually, that was one of the first things my wife noticed when we unboxed them.
COOK, SERVE AND SAVE ALL IN ONE PLACE
Who is the genius behind Hokan? Hokan was established by film producer Alistair Donald. As a father of two sons, it quickly became apparent to him that he needed to be more efficient in the kitchen to avoid unnecessary food waste.
So he took the decision to swap the leaning towers of cling-filmed plastic bowls and tubs for a practical, plastic-free solution that was easily stackable and could be used to cook, bake and serve, and then store and also save, food.
Our first culinary use for our Hokan bowls was a beef brisket casserole which cooked to utter perfection and serving direct from the bowl was an absolute joy. My wife was very proud of the result as the brisket, although it had seemed a little tough before cooking was melt-in-the- mouth wonderful when cooked in our Hokan.
SAY GOODBYE TO PLASTICS
For a sustainable, BPA-free household, Hokan offers a unique alternative to storage solutions with potential harmful pollutants. Stoneware is dense pottery fired at high temperatures making it non-porous and, consequently, odour and stain free. Which can’t be said of plastic alternatives.
Also, as they are naturally glazed and not coated with non-sick chemical compounds they are perfectly safe for people with asthma to use and owners of pet parrots and other birds need not worry as the glaze is, unlike non-stick cooking containers which are deadly toxic to birds.
