ボウル (from English "bowl") refers to deep cooking bowls used for mixing, preparing, and serving food. In Japanese, it specifically refers to kitchen bowls rather than eating bowls.

Common types:

  • ステンレスボウル (stainless steel bowl)
  • ガラスボウル (glass bowl)
  • プラスチックボウル (plastic bowl)

Note: For eating bowls, Japanese uses 茶碗(ちゃわん) (rice bowl), (どんぶり) (large bowl for rice dishes), or 汁椀(しるわん) (soup bowl).
