Hello, We are glad that you like the large bowls, And wanted to offer a few suggestions for use of the smallest bowls. The Smallest Bowls are 1 Cup capacity. We use them for condiments as you mentioned. But also for individual serving size for desserts, fruit, yogurt, and high liquid volume side dishes for those who do want foods mixing on their plate :) We also use them to gather and measure individual ingredients when preparing to cook or bake. Please feel free to reach out to Nordic Ware if you have product questions. info&#64;nordicware.com <br />Kind regard Nordic Ware Customer Experience.
