Maybe they weren't so successful after all? I do have one but it's not the
bowl. It's the square plate type thing. I bought it when I first bought my
microwave. I didn't know anything about microwaves but people kept telling
me you needed to use special dishes in them. So I bought special dishes,
including that. Then I learned that you could just put your regular dishes
in there provided they didn't have stuff like gold or silver paint or were
made of Melamine.

I may have used that Grab It once or twice. And now that I think about it I
should just get rid of it.

I have always had soup bowls. They have handles. So if I want something
with a handle, I use those.
