Abstract: A bowl with gripping means comprises an interior surface and exterior surface, a generally cylindrical base portion extending downwardly from a bottom exterior surface of the bowl, the base portion allowing the bowl to rest upon a flat surface in a secure manner, the base portion extending around the outer periphery of the bottom of the bowl and creating a cavity within an inner portion thereof. In the preferred mode, at least one bar extends radially across the bottom of the bowl from a first point upon the generally cylindrical base portion to a second point upon the generally cylindrical base portion, the bar functioning to allow a user to securely grip the bar while tilting the bowl over and removing contents from the interior of the bowl.
