Bonbowl FAQ
Induction cooking is a method of heating metal using a magnetic field. Switching electricity flows through a copper coil, creating a magnetic field above the coil. The switching magnetic field causes eddy currents on the surface of the metal. These eddy currents then cause the metal object to heat up.
We offer two options for our cookware
Option 1: Stainless steel - plain stainless cookware with no coatings. This cookware is made from the same grade of steel that is commonly used for stainless steel pans. Therefore, it may require some grease to keep foods, like eggs, from sticking to the cook surface.
Option 2: Non-Stick - Crafted from the same materials as the stainless cookware, with the addition of a non-stick coating. The coating is PTFE based, but contains no PFOA. We chose this coating because it is safe as well as durable.
Yes, it is perfectly safe to put the bowls into the dishwasher. If you own the non-stick bowl, it is best to hand wash with a soft sponge and mild dish soap because the coating will last longer.
The double walled construction of the bowl provides a layer of insulation between your hands and the hot inner surface of the bowl. This insulation will only keep the outside of the bowl cool for a few minutes and then the outside of the bowl will start to heat up. If you are cooking at high heat for an extended period of time, it will still be possible to pick up the bowl, but it may be warm.
Currently we only have one bowl size/shape. We plan on offering additional sizes soon!
Currently the cooktop and cookware are only offered in black, however, we would like to start rolling out new colors of both. What colors would you like to see? Send your requests to hello@bonbowl.com

We will ship internationally for an additional fee, however, our products are only designed to work at 120V we do not recommend using them with any sort of power converter. Additionally, we do not warranty our products for use outside the United States.
The cooktop is UL listed for use in the United States. UL is a safety and certification body that conducted thorough testing and analysis on our products to ensure that they are safe for home use.
If the lid stuck to the bowl, heat on medium and it will eventually lift off of the bowl. The lid is stuck because the air cooled inside the bowl and is creating suction, pulling the lid down. In the future, use the straining side of the lid while cooking, so the straining holes are exposed. This will keep the lid from getting stuck.
