  • Publication number: 20080223861
    Abstract: A flexible bowl having a base, circumferential wall, and a contoured rim forming an open end and interior surface of the bowl. The bowl is constructed out of silicone or another like material. The circumferential walls are flexible to allow opposing sides to be bent towards each other forming a spout-like channel to allow food to be efficiently removed. The contours on the rim cause the spout to have an oblong end making it more effective in removing food. The base is thick to provide stability. The thickness of the base relative to the weight and dimensions of the wall allows the bowl to be as stable as a traditional bowl. The circumferential wall has a lower, middle, and upper region. The lower region and the rim may be thicker than the middle and upper regions. The bowl is dishwasher-safe, microwave-safe, and oven-proof.
