Can I use these for regular dishes for meal times?

They are child size for pretend play. For small meals I suppose. They are dishwasher safe and non toxic though.

I've used them with prep of foods... I've never had any problems with them.. So in my Opinion yes you can

Absolutely! I use these as my everyday dishes and use them in the microwave and run them the dishwasher daily. They look just like new.

I've never done that, but I believe you can. We usually use them for soup. I remember they come with a list of don'ts and care instructions, but can't find it.

Yes. These freeze well and are perfect size for one meal. I absolutely love them. Freezer to microwave works great.

Yes. They have been our everyday dishes for over five years. The only item from the set that has been a problem is the cup. We have had handles coming off a few of them in the past couple years. We have a large family so they get a lot of use.

They would work fine for serving taco accompaniments, but would be toward the large size for this task. I purchased 4 and do use them for everything, but I think they are especially great for cooking as the silicone tips are heat resistant.

Most definitely. I use them all the time for mac and cheese single serving and for reheated, in microwave leftovers.

You can, but you don't need to. I love these because when I go away for the weekend, I can still have toast or grilled cheese like everyone else. At home I usually only use them for toast because I can pull out a clean pan/griddle to use.

I don't think they are intended to be used that way. Several of the individual cubes in my set have leaked, so even though they are just filled with water I would be nervous using them in drinks. Also, they are easy to clean but only because I am not hyper worried about scrubbing each one...if they were going to directly contact food I would be more concerned about bacteria or food stuff on the outside. I do LOVE them for lunches, though.

No they have some function for others. steam, soup etc.. What kind cook do you want ?

Yes but they are very tiny, they would hold a mouthful. I use them to do mini shrimp cocktails -- a little bit cocktail sauce, wedge of lime, sprig of cilantro and two shrimp. We have also done chocolate mousse with mini silver spoon.

Yes and no. If you have one simple dish like spaghetti then yes but if you have meat, rice and veggies and you don't want it all mixed together then no. I mainly use it for soups.

Yes, I suppose you could when serving a small group. The removable dish is not very heavy gauge stainless steel.

Yes. But I would hand wash them-- they will "float" around in your dishwasher because they are so light.

They are fine for most plates, starting with dinner size on the bottom. There is another product described as heavy weight. I ordered both and the heavy weight is definitely stronger.

These are lovely little dishes....I do not understand "useable 5 "....they are for small hordeurves...such as stuffed mushrooms, small crab cakes etc. I love mine!!! Use them all the time!
