Little bowls like these are called monkey dishes in the restaurant business. Doesn't pay to ask why, we think, but they're extremely handy. These are stainless steel, 4-1/2" dia x 1-1/2" deep. They're marked "Pet Bowl," but wouldn't work for anything over kitten size. We'd use 'em for peas, paints, pickles, peanuts, paste, prune pits, like that. You run out of p's, you could use them for ketchup, mustard or mayonnaise.

But these are for pre-split bananas. Along with ice cream. These white polystyrene boat-shaped containers are 8-1/4" long x 4" wide at the beam x 1-1/2" deep. Lightweight. Shiplap sides. Nice for authentic dessert serving, but great as bathtub toys, for boat races in your local pond, or decorating for nautical-theme parties. You get two and a half dozen.

Once upon a time this rigid gray-plastic tray was used to serve silly, but very expensive, food to people at 35,000 feet. Now it's yours for a song. It measures 11" square x 5/8" deep, has squared-off corners, and is stackable for easy storage. It may show a bit of wear and tear, but who doesn't these days, after an airline gets through with you? It's still a great snack tray, paint palette, lab tray, or the world's largest coaster.

Select-a-shape lightweight, disposable, cream-colored LDPE bowls! The 16-oz bowls with tight-fitting disposable lids are 2-3/8" deep and a bit over 5" dia at the top. Look like lidded cereal bowls and were, we think, intended to be used on deli trays, but we won't make a food-safe claim. We'll suggest that they make nice paint pots and craft containers, and are cheap enough to either recycle or toss out when you're done. The shallow LDPE bowls are 1-3/8" deep, also a bit over 5" dia at the top, hold 8 oz, and are also a good shape for holding paint or bits and pieces during art class. Buy both sizes, since the lids from the deep bowls also fit the shallow ones! Serendipity? We consider it clever planning.

And trayish. Plus coaster-like. This is a textured steel, bronze-colored mini-tray/coaster, and although a cold drink would probably cause condensation on the outside bottom-side, it still looks very, very useful. It's 4-1/8" square with 1/2" tall sides that taper out a bit so that it's 4-11/16" square at the top. Interesting. Attractive. And priced so low you can use it anywhere and everywhere.
