I was originally reluctant to order because seriously, who needs 48 little dishes like this but honestly, I use them for EVERYTHING!!! Have lots of spices to add to a dish at different times during cooking? No problem, use a condiment bowl! Putting out appetizers and you don't want everyone's fingers in the dish? No problem, use condiment bowls for individual servings! BBQing and need something for different marinades to brush on? No problem, use a condiment bowl! Have a candy or nut jar in the pantry and want a little something after dinner but don't want to break out the whole jar? No problem, use a condiment bowl! Need to melt some garlic butter or chocolate in the microwave? No problem, use a condiment bowl! They are attractive, high quality, and even go in the dishwasher. Seriously, I almost wish I had more!
