5 Best Wooden Bowls

Wooden bowls make a great accent piece for display, as decorative containers or for food use, and come in all sorts of styles from rustic to modern. If the bowls are going to contain food, make sure they have a natural, food-safe finish, and aren’t stained or glued in any way. Never put wooden bowls in an oven, microwave, or dishwasher, or soak in water – it’s best to give them a quick wash or wipe down and let them air dry. Wiping with mineral oil will restore luster to a bowl that’s become dull. Wooden bowls also make thoughtful gifts – and not just for fifth wedding anniversaries.
