The LAV Alinda Bowl (Model: ALN240) is the "small but mighty" entry in the Alinda collection. Despite the "240" in its model name, it is most commonly recognized by its 215 cc (~7.5 oz) capacity. It is the quintessential "pinch bowl" or condiment dish used in both professional catering and home kitchens. +1   ## Technical Specifications Feature Details Model Number ALN240 (or LV-ALN240) Capacity 215 cc (~7.5 oz / 215 ml) Diameter 100 mm (~4 inches) Height 51 mm (~2 inches) Material High-quality, lead-free Turkish glass Pack Size  Set of 6 ## Design & Practicality The "Pinch Bowl" Standard: This is the smallest of the Alinda bowls. Its primary purpose is mise en place—holding pre-measured spices, salt, or oils while you cook.   Stackable Efficiency: Like other Alinda models, the ALN240 is designed to nest perfectly. A stack of 12 takes up very little vertical space, making them a favorite for small apartments or crowded restaurant kitchens. Lid Availability: This model is very frequently sold as a set with lids (often white or multi-colored). This transforms the elegant glass bowl into a mini-storage container for leftover sauces, baby food, or small snacks.   Beaded Rim: The edge of the bowl is slightly thickened (beaded), which significantly increases its resistance to chipping compared to thin-rimmed glass bowls.   ## Common Uses Condiments & Sauces: Perfect for ketchup, mayonnaise, soy sauce, or garlic butter on a dinner plate.   Breakfast Spread: Ideal for holding olives, honey, or individual portions of jam.   Healthier Snacking: Its 215cc capacity is great for "portion control" servings of nuts, seeds, or small candies.   Jewelry & Decor: Outside the kitchen, its minimalist design makes it a popular "catch-all" bowl for rings, earrings, or paperclips. ## Care Instructions Temperature Limits: Safe for the refrigerator, freezer, and microwave (remove the lid first).   Dishwasher Safe: The glass is highly durable and will maintain its clarity through thousands of dishwasher cycles.
