Le Creuset Stoneware Coupe Pasta Bowl 22cm
The Le Creuset Coupe Pasta Bowl delivers the ideal proportions for pasta service: wide enough to spread out spaghetti for easy twirling, deep enough to contain generous amounts of sauce without spilling, yet shallow enough to let food cool to eating temperature quickly. At 22cm diameter with 0.96-litre capacity, this bowl strikes the perfect balance for individual pasta portions, hearty soups, risotto, curry, noodle dishes, and salads.
Made from Le Creuset's specialist stoneware with scratch-resistant glaze, this bowl withstands daily use whilst maintaining its pristine appearance. The rimless Coupe design with organic curved shape creates contemporary table presentation whilst maximising usable surface area. The thermoresistant properties - from -23°C to +260°C - extend versatility beyond simple serving: use for baked pasta dishes, French onion soup with cheese topping, or oven-to-table presentations.

What Customers Ask About Le Creuset Coupe Pasta Bowl
What capacity is this pasta bowl?
The bowl holds 0.96 litres (approximately 1 litre) when filled to the rim. This capacity suits generous individual pasta servings, hearty soup portions, noodle dishes, risotto, curry, or salad. The 22cm diameter and 3.8cm depth provide the ideal balance - deep enough to contain sauces without spilling, shallow enough for comfortable eating and allowing food to cool to eating temperature quickly.
Will cutlery scratch this bowl?
No. Le Creuset's glazed stoneware is specifically designed to be scratch-resistant, maintaining its appearance through daily use with metal cutlery and dishwasher cycles. The high-quality glaze is significantly more durable than standard ceramic finishes, which commonly show cutlery marks over time.
Can I use this in the oven?
Yes, Le Creuset stoneware is oven safe up to 260°C. You can use this bowl for individual baked pasta dishes, French onion soup with cheese topping gratinéed under the grill, or oven-to-table serving. When using under the grill, maintain at least 6.5cm (2½ inches) between the heat source and the bowl. Don't place frozen food in the bowl in a preheated oven - instead, place in a cold oven and heat together.
Is this microwave safe?
Yes, this bowl is fully microwave safe. The specialist stoneware maintains even temperature distribution when heating food. Use oven gloves when removing as the bowl will become hot - stoneware retains heat more effectively than standard ceramic bowls.
What's the difference between a pasta bowl and a regular cereal bowl?
Pasta bowls are wider and shallower than cereal bowls, typically 22cm diameter versus 15-17cm for cereal bowls. This wider, shallower design allows pasta and sauces to spread out for better presentation and easier twirling of long pasta. The shape also helps food cool to eating temperature faster than deep cereal bowls, which is particularly important for hot pasta dishes. The larger surface area provides better visibility of the food, making plating more attractive.
Do these bowls stack well for storage?
Yes, the rimless Coupe design stacks efficiently. The smooth curved shape allows bowls to nest closely together without catching on rims. The scratch-resistant glaze means stacking doesn't damage the finish over time, even with daily stacking and unstacking. The 22cm diameter means they take moderate cupboard space but stack compactly in height.
Can I put this in the dishwasher?
Yes, this bowl is dishwasher safe for a full cycle. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its finish through repeated dishwasher use without dulling or crazing. You can also hand wash with warm, soapy water if preferred.
What We've Learned About Pasta Bowls Since 1972
Over five decades of selling tableware, we've observed that customers who invest in proper pasta bowls report genuinely improved dining experiences compared to serving pasta on flat plates or in deep cereal bowls. The wide, shallow design matters more than you might expect - it allows long pasta to spread out for easier twirling without the fork constantly hitting the sides, whilst the depth contains sauce without it pooling awkwardly as it does on flat plates.
This 22cm size has become the standard for pasta bowls precisely because it balances portion size with practicality. Smaller bowls feel cramped when twirling spaghetti; larger bowls are unwieldy for individual servings. The 0.96L capacity accommodates generous pasta portions without looking sparse. Customers regularly tell us they use these pasta bowls far more frequently than expected - they're ideal for any meal where you want something between a plate and a deep bowl: risotto, curry, stir-fries, noodle dishes, hearty salads, and even breakfast porridge when you want a more substantial presentation.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Remove all labels and packaging. Wash the bowl in warm, soapy water, then rinse and dry thoroughly. This removes any manufacturing residue. The bowl is now ready for use.
Daily use and washing: The bowl is dishwasher safe for a full cycle. Load securely to prevent movement during the wash cycle. Alternatively, hand wash with warm, soapy water and dry. The scratch-resistant glaze maintains its appearance through either washing method.
Removing stuck-on food: If food becomes stuck on the bowl, fill with warm, soapy water and let soak for 15-20 minutes before washing as usual. This works particularly well for dried pasta sauce or baked cheese. Avoid abrasive scrubbers that might damage the glaze - use a soft cloth or sponge instead.
Using in the oven: The bowl is oven safe up to 260°C. Use oven gloves when handling as the stoneware retains heat effectively. This pasta bowl works well for individual baked pasta portions, gratinéed dishes, or French onion soup with cheese topping. If you're heating a bowl that's currently at room temperature, don't preheat your oven above 205°C (400°F).
Using under the grill: When using under the grill, always maintain at least 6.5cm (2½ inches) between the heat source and the top of the bowl. This is particularly relevant when gratinéing cheese on top of soup or pasta dishes. The gap prevents excessive direct heat that could damage the glaze or cause thermal shock.
Avoiding thermal shock: Don't place frozen food in the bowl in a preheated oven. Instead, place the bowl with frozen food in a cold oven, set the temperature, and allow both to heat up together. Before serving, always check food is piping hot throughout. Similarly, don't place a hot bowl directly into the freezer - allow it to cool to room temperature first.
Adding liquid to hot bowls: If you need to add liquid to food in a bowl that's in the oven (such as adding stock to a risotto), remove the bowl from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes first. Adding cold liquid to a very hot bowl can cause thermal shock.
Microwave use: The bowl is fully microwave safe. Use oven gloves when removing as the stoneware will become hot. The specialist clays maintain even temperature distribution when heating food, making this bowl ideal for reheating pasta, soup, or other leftovers.
Freezer use: The bowl is freezer compatible down to -23°C. You can freeze individual soup or stew portions directly in the bowl for convenient oven-to-table serving later. Remember to thaw gradually or place in a cold oven when reheating from frozen.
Storage: Wait for bowls to cool down completely before stacking. The rimless Coupe design stacks efficiently - bowls nest closely together without catching on rims. The scratch-resistant glaze prevents damage from stacking, but you may choose to place paper towels between bowls if preferred. The 22cm diameter means these bowls take moderate cupboard space.
What to avoid: Don't use metal utensils with excessive force, though the glaze is designed to resist normal cutlery use including twirling pasta with forks. Avoid sudden extreme temperature changes - don't place frozen bowls in preheated ovens or hot bowls in freezers. Don't use abrasive cleaners or scourers that could damage the glaze finish.
