Apparently these are for French onion soup! Which I learned when I asked if it was oven safe and three different people were like “Oh, the bowls for onion soup. French onion soup bowls. One made purposefully for French onion soup under a broiler” and I felt very silly, but now I know they’re oven safe!
They’re cute little things!
I got French onion soup bowls from Costco. They turned out not to be oven safe.
You’ve got vintage ones like we had growing up, though, so they should be fine.
The French onion soup for Cusco.
Have you ever had French onion soup? It’s really good.
I have, but not in these bowls! I’ve just used them for chili or soups! I’ll have to make some in these crocks now I know!
I’d try to make it myself, but it looks like typical cooking time takes 1-2hrs. For me, that’s a lot of time just to make a simple-ish soup, and I’d rather not clutter my tiny kitchen with a countertop electric crock or whatnot.
That said, I think a pressure cooker might work wonders with this. Onions when cooked long enough develop an incredibly rich, satisfying flavor, one which can also be enjoyed as with dishes like Lebanese lentils.
A pressure cooker cuts the onion caramelization time down to like 20-30 mins and the flavor is almost identical to the tradtional method, total game changer for weeknight french onion soup!
Oh my god… what the hell have I been doing with my life?! oO
(no sarcasm intended; I’m just an envious moron over here, haha)
Oh yea, very early 70’s.
They’re very cute! At least the rest of the house isn’t still early 70’s!
Those are beautiful and I want them.
I have some ramekins I do use but they’re not as fun as these
They are very fun to use!
Are they still for sale
No idea! These are undoubtedly from the 70s ish.
sorry i was really high i meant did you buy them
Haha, it’s fine! I did not. These are my husband’s mother’s crockery. They have been here for as long as my husband remembers, so like 50 years.
