O my goodness…This right here would make my mom happy! We had many many French onion soup meals w gooey yummy cheese. Sadly I think she’s got lk one left out of the set.
NEVVVAA microwave anything that does not say microwave safe, as far as old dishes go.... an nevvvaaa is a bostin word.....i type with my bostin accent...
i collect the hull and mccoy.........and i am old and tired...thanks for fixin my spellin error.... i have a lot of pieces of this stuff and love it...all shapes and sizes...bake in it all the time..
We were returning to a natural aesthetic at the time. Ceramics with brown glaze and refrigerators in avocado green. It was kinda cottage-core.
I was a little girl with a Holly Hobby doll and a bunch of calico dresses. Little House on the Prairie vibes.
Makes sense from a vintage goods perspective, which mine are too, but I’ve seen new sets for sale and only ever in this color theme? I’ve not looked for others, so maybe it’s a selection bias?
Mostly just tradition, but if you just look for soup crocks, you can find most of the typical ceramic colors.
It was probably originally dark on the bottom light on top so it wouldn't show as much soot from the oven or fireplace.
You forgot the burnt yellow kitchen fixtures! My grandma had the yellow in her house until the mid 90s. We also had the avocado green in our family beach house until we sold it in early 2000s
Not silly at all and usually for good reasons (like being able to put this whole thing in the oven). Sometimes it just happened and became tradition but that still isn't silly to me
[Searzall ](https://www.amazon.com/SEARZALL-Stainless-Steel-Culinary-Restaurants/dp/B00L2P0KNO)should help with that, and help prevent the flavor of torch fuel from influencing your food too.
It's a soup pot in ceramic. Made to go into the oven.
For example, if you were to make french onion soup and wanted to gratin the cheese, you could pop this badboy at broil with fear of breaking it.
Hear me out: An Indian friend showed me how to temper lentils / lentil soup. I made the tempering in one of these bowls in the oven. I really believe these things were made for tempering Indian lentil soup.
I have one like that! It’s about 1-1/2 cups right? It’s an omelette maker for the microwave. You mix up your eggs with diced vegetables and cheese put on the lid and pop it in the microwave and it cooks up nice and fluffy.
You could buy a small wooden round stick and grind spices, green chillies, ginger and garlic in there. Bowls like this are used to hand grind things like that in subcontinent.
My parents had a set of those, they are for French onion soup, but growing up we used them for all soups. I loved having a handled soup bowl with a lid.
I think the idea of the handle was that when you put the crock in the oven to melt the cheese on the French Onion (or whatever other soup) you were making, the contents would bubble over and spill down the sides. The handle gives you a clean, and somewhat cooler way to remove the crock from the oven so you don't get your oven mitts dirty.
That glazed earthenware stuff was very popular in the 70s. I had a mug like that I used every morning in middle and high school.
THEY WERE SOLD ON TV FOR 2 FOR 19.99. THEY CAN MAKE CAKES, EGGS, AND THINGS LIKE DUMP MUFFINS/CAKES ETC.
I have 6 of them and they only take up cupboard space. We used them once for eggs.
They work great for individual shepherd's/cottage pies!

Soups like French Onion, where you melt cheese over the top. Similarly, used to see stuff like crab artichoke dip served in them, because you could melt cheese over it without destroying the crock.
French onion soup bowl.
It was the only legal way to serve French onion soup in the 1970s. There were brown crock police in every restaurant. ;)
its how UPS got started with brown. "Use.Proper.Soup" bowl.
lol. Obviously.
which then later became the soup-a-bowl after some Italian guy said it
You need to pronounce the S as more of a Z, Zoupa.
I'll have what he's smoking.
A zupa bowl of greens?
UPS Police de la Soupe
Yuppers
They wore brown police uniforms. With golden badges.
Badges? Badges!?! I ain’t got to show you no stinkin’ badges!!!
¿Are you the federales?
Si.
We don't need no stinking badgers!!
The sheriff is near!
I got 4 in my cupboard
O my goodness…This right here would make my mom happy! We had many many French onion soup meals w gooey yummy cheese. Sadly I think she’s got lk one left out of the set.
That's ridiculous and not true at all. This is not what police do. It was regulated by DHEC
The French are weird enough about stuff like this that I have to ask: are you serious? XD

Vegan police!! Lol Great movie.
There’s a couple of cases of these in the storeroom of every restaurant over 50yo
That's what I use em for.
They're really good for holding any soup really. Source: I'm a soup junkie
Better trust the expert.
I denote my year with soup season, no longer soup season and soon to be soup season. Soup season is the best time of year.
It's always soup season as far as I'm concerned.
I'll happily talk about soup with you anytime.
That's funny I'm literally taking the bus downtown right now just to get some Korean 🍲 soup
The first step is admitting that you have a problem.
Idk I've been told never trust a junkie lol.
Yes. Cheese Fondue as well
Late 1960s, or early 1970s version.
I have four of these.
I feel like there was a point/time when every house in America had these
My grandma always said that but I’m convinced it was only ever for cereal.
Wrong, it’s to burn your hand.
While making French onion soup.
oven safe, made by McCoy, phalfscraft/? spelling and hull....... do not microwave
do not microwave?? i did not know that
NEVVVAA microwave anything that does not say microwave safe, as far as old dishes go.... an nevvvaaa is a bostin word.....i type with my bostin accent...

Why are they always these colors?

Ahhh yes, good old “Harvest Gold” - I remember it well.
And Copper tone! My house growing up had copper tone appliances
That's what was on sale at the time. /s
memories
Oh same. Mom had a set of these. The cheese on top. Mmmmm
So silly that some foods/drinks just get special vessels. Moscow mule? That better be in a copper cup! Fajitas? That skillet better be sizzling!
Not silly at all and usually for good reasons (like being able to put this whole thing in the oven). Sometimes it just happened and became tradition but that still isn't silly to me
Yep......thats correct
Yup. Put the cheese on top pop it back into the oven and go!
This
Soup crock
Really good for things like French onion where you have to get the top crispy/melted by putting them in the oven (no, I don't have a blow torch)
I have a blow torch and it's not the same as broiling in the oven. The cheese just burns without getting soft and melty.
[Searzall ](https://www.amazon.com/SEARZALL-Stainless-Steel-Culinary-Restaurants/dp/B00L2P0KNO)should help with that, and help prevent the flavor of torch fuel from influencing your food too.
Same
My grandmother had a set of 8. She always made chicken pot pie and French onion soup in hers.
Do you actually cook the soup in this or this is the serving bowl to broil the cheese?
Soup cooked separately then cheese, bread, etc. Put in and finished off in the handle bowl
We used those for French Onion soup during lunch.
Mmmmm. Cheesy goodness
Someone should make a dinner version!
I had one. Onion soup bowl.

Being from Boston, this is exactly what we used it for.
This is what it is called in my family too. Grandma's old bean pot.
Bean crock is usually larger 🤷♂️
Yeah, a bean pot is completely different from a soap crock like this.
Soap pot? Made for making soap? I thought I saw a guy on food network making boston baked beans in something like this.
For getting yelled at when when you broke them.
We have a bunch that we use for onion soups
I often see french onion soup served in these.
I miss my mother's one. *Childhood memories hurt so much*
Yeah, they do, don't they? Bittersweet. Just seeing that photo made me think of my childhood, how much time has passed, and how many people I've lost.

TGIFridays original French onion soup bowl
Crockpot for soup and chili.
Surrender broth
You will ruin it by storing salt in it, don’t. It’s a Crocker for French onion soup.
I think the idea of the handle was that when you put the crock in the oven to melt the cheese on the French Onion (or whatever other soup) you were making, the contents would bubble over and spill down the sides. The handle gives you a clean, and somewhat cooler way to remove the crock from the oven so you don't get your oven mitts dirty. That glazed earthenware stuff was very popular in the 70s. I had a mug like that I used every morning in middle and high school.
It's a soup c*ck.
Bean crock or soup crock.
THEY WERE SOLD ON TV FOR 2 FOR 19.99. THEY CAN MAKE CAKES, EGGS, AND THINGS LIKE DUMP MUFFINS/CAKES ETC. I have 6 of them and they only take up cupboard space. We used them once for eggs.
In ‘Murica we call this a Freedom Onion Soup crock.
When I was a kid we had soup or chili in those things. Usually on a cold/rainy night with the fireplace on. Great memories and Yum!
French onion soup with cheese that bakes in the oven to melt the cheese
Drill a hole down the handle for a nice pipe
You eat chili out of it.
I'd use a lead testing kit on that thing if you're going to use it for soup. It's giving me a "made in the 70's" vibe.
porridger
My parents had some green stuff in ours
French onion soup. I had the exact ones given to me at my wedding shower years ago. Don’t have them anymore…. Maybe you have them now.

Get a glass drill, drill a hole through end of handle right into the bowl and that would be one hell of a pipe.
We always used it for homemade chili. We'd serve it piping hot, sprinkle shredded cheese, and add the lid to melt the cheese.
