Fruit bowls

It’s 22 inches long.

I think you need something huge but shallow - maybe something like this

I have three that are about this size which I choose from and it means you don't need to pile things up. They do take up a lot of space though.

We also use a lot of oranges, so when I have a delivery I tend to keep those apart in another big bowl.

I don't keep fruit in the fridge unless I've gone a bit mad with the shopping!

Bananas apparently keep longer if you wash them.

I only wash fruit as we eat it and don't usually have a banana problem so I haven't tried it.

grannybuy the one I linked to is 22" diameter...

TK Maxx is great for all sorts of bowls for fruit and anything else .

I might try that! My fruit wouldn’t become crushed and hidden like it usually does. Good idea 👍

I had a lovely IKEA stainless steel bowl, made of flower shapes where I kept the “top” fruit, apples bananas, oranges, etc. rasp/strawberries are eaten within 24 hours, melons as fast as possible. I don’t like icy cold fruit so keep it out of the fridge.

I use a Poole pottery painted charger made in the 1960s. Large and flat so holds a lot of fruit. Lots for sale on eBay and the like.

I have one in kitchen and 2 shallow ones in dining room. Keep berries in fridge

We eat loads of fruit. Most of it - apples, pears, oranges, kiwis etc - is in a four tier veg rack, bananas in the bowl of my old weighing scales, peaches, plums, grapes, berries, cherries in separate Denby shallow pasta dishes and a couple of pretty ones we’ve brought back from holidays. Just melon in the fridge - the rest of it’s rarely around long enough to need it, and I much prefer fruit at room temperature. Though I have just recently discovered the delights of a frozen grape.

We’ve never had fruit flies.

I feel as if I’ve just tempted Fate with my last sentence…

I use this long dish. The fruit can be more spread out, instead of ‘ piled up ‘.

That looks like Highland Stoneware.
We have a beautiful fruit bowl we bought 35+ years ago.
I had a job interview in a gift shop and I was asked to sell her an imaginary bowl of fruit. I interpreted this as “sell me the fruit bowl, like the ones on the shop floor”. I waxed lyrical on Highland Stoneware, and got the job!

I have a very special fruit dish which is just the right size and shape for a few apples,a pear and tangerines. It was made by my son over 30yr ago when he was at college. Bananas go on a chrome tree and all soft fruit in the fridge ( if it lasts that long) I eat a lot of fruit to help avoid toffees and puddings.

I use my parents glass bowl given to them as a wedding gift in 1943, suspect it was a trifle bowl but Mum didn’t like trifle. It does the job nicely and is much admired as it’s different. A granddaughter wants it when we’ve no further use for it.

My fruit bowl is a glass one, presented to me when I retired, engraved with the school crest and dates. It is nice to use it. It holds just enough for a day or two.

I think mine is similar- it has a silver trim and should be on three glass legs but one chipped off!

I store apples, bananas, oranges, kiwi and nuts and seeds in it.
