Microwave Breakfast Bowl | 850 ml | Round Microwave Container with Steam Release Vent | BPA-Free | Red | 1 Count

While visiting family in New Zealand, I noticed one of them using a Sistema microwave container, and I was instantly impressed by how simple yet clever the design was. When I got back to the UK, I discovered that Sistema products are available on Amazon, so I decided to try one for myself. I ordered the Sistema Microwave Round Bowl (915 ml) with Steam Release Vent — priced around £5, which I thought was excellent value for something so practical. As usual, it arrived the next day with Prime, and that’s always a big plus in my book. Straight out of the box, the quality stood out. The plastic feels thick, durable, and well-made, and the signature Sistema locking clips on the lid are solid — not flimsy like many cheaper alternatives. They click firmly into place and give real confidence that the lid won’t come loose while heating. Before using it, I gave it a quick wash, then tested it with some pre-cooked basmati rice. I added a splash of water, opened the steam vent, and microwaved it for just two minutes. The result? Perfectly heated rice, light and fluffy — and not a single bit of mess inside the microwave. I also really appreciate that Sistema uses BPA-free plastic, which is important to me, especially as someone who’s become more health-conscious since being in remission from cancer. It’s reassuring to know the materials are safe as well as durable. The rounded interior makes food easy to scoop out, and the bright colour means it’s easy to spot in the cupboard. It’s a small thing, but it adds to the overall sense of good design and attention to detail. This is one of those products that simply works — no fuss, no gimmicks, just smart design and reliable performance. I’ve already got my eye on a few other Sistema containers to add to the collection! Verdict: Excellent quality, heats food perfectly, and built to last. Highly recommended — Sistema really has mastered the art of microwave cookware.

Great little pots easy to use Nice to have a selection in sizes They seal really good great for the microwave & their leakproof great value for the money 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

This is a well-made, attractive microwaveable pot with a handy vented lid. It feels sturdy, cleans up well, and I imagine it will be perfect for soups, stews, and reheating leftovers. However, I must issue a warning to fellow porridge enthusiasts: this pot and porridge do not get along. I used it to make my usual morning oats, and after a couple of minutes in the microwave, there was what can only be described as a porridge explosion. The vent became a launchpad, ejecting a blob of scalding porridge just as I opened the door—straight onto my hand. The microwave interior looked like a dalmatian in oat-based camouflage. It took two bowls of soapy water and four microfibre cloths to restore order. To be clear: this isn’t a fault with the pot itself, but porridge is a volatile beast in the microwave, and this design doesn’t seem to tame it. I’ll continue using the pot for other things, but porridge will now be confined to hob-only rituals. Hope this helps someone avoid a breakfast ambush!

Perfect size, nice quality. Great to use for any meal. Lightweight and haven't leaked. so far

This is a high quality microwave bowl. The plastic is glossy and smooth, and better than cheap bowls. It has a plastic handle to make it easier to hold when the contents are hot. It comes with a vent, so that it can't buckle when the contents are heated - as my old bowl did. Phalate and BPA free as well, and the price is nice. The only odd thing about the bowl is the size of it. My old bowl was 15 cm across the diagonal, the new one is advertised as being 17 cm across the diagonal. When it arrived it was 13 cm across the diagonal, and noticeably smaller - plus a 2 cm handle. You should probably make allowances for this.

This is to replace my old one, good size, great quality. Use it for all sorts of food. The seal is good and easy to use. Value for money

Fantastic quality, sturdy vent, use it nearly every day for cooking veg. Doesn't show staining unlike clear microwave bowls.

I've been using it for a while and just can't fault it! Easy to clean no matter what you cook in it. So good that I have bought other items in the range.

Great size for a two egg omelette:) Enough capacity for shop bought microwave meals too. The steam outlet is firm and accurate and the clip closure is also tight and secure. I like the red colour - many tomato based dishes stain white and light coloured containers - so this is a good solution.

Goede kwaliteit

このシリーズまた日本でも扱ってくれる商社さん出てほしい。以前は高島屋でも替えたのに。

We recently came across the Sistema microwave cookware and ordered four versions of it. It is everything we'd hoped for. Easy to clean, designed for the microwave, adjustable vent, secure lid, etc. This version is great for reheating a dinner or anything which fits. It is not very tall which means you can eat right out of it if you want. Other models are bigger or smaller, some for steaming, cooking rice, etc. All that we have tried are excellent.

Very good product
