YETI heard folks were using its dog bowls as ice cream dishes and knew it needed to act. Its latest reveal, the YETI Rambler Bowls, arrives after fans consistently asked for human-oriented bowl options to match the rest of its YETI collection. YETI launched two versions of its Rambler Bowls: Standard and Low. The brand uses the same technology as its Rambler Mugs (and, yes, the Boomer Dog Bowls).
“Bowls felt like a natural fit in the evolution of our Rambler family of products,” YETI’s Head of Food and Beverage, Hannah Mara, told GearJunkie. “We can’t wait to see how our fans put them to use.”
Whether you want the three-piece set or to choose just one, each bowl claims the same insulating properties as YETI’s famous drinkware. It also includes matching and sealing lids.
YETI Rambler Bowls: Key Features
Every bowl utilizes kitchen-grade 18/8 stainless steel for puncture and rust resistance. YETI said it uses the same double-wall vacuum insulation as its Rambler Mugs in the Rambler Bowls. It claims this insulation should keep salads crisp and cold or stews piping hot.
The press-on lid utilizes the same clear plastic and gasket as its mugs to help lock in temperatures. Keeping critters out is an added bonus if you’re storing food.
We weren’t able to get a temperature guarantee or time-test results for these bowls. However, YETI promised that the new bowls passed the same performance and durability standards as its Rambler Drinkware.
These bowls and lids can stack or nest, depending on size, so they shouldn’t crowd your cabinet space. And yes, YETI said, every piece is dishwasher safe.
Standard vs. Low Models
We wanted to know why YETI chose to launch two versions of its new bowls simultaneously. With this dual launch, we also asked what the perks of each model might be.
“The simple answer is versatility,” Mara said. “We wanted to come to market with a full family of Rambler Bowls to meet the needs of just about any occasion.”
She explained that Standard Bowls offer a deeper profile for prepping and mixing. The shorter-profile Low Bowls make for easier scooping at the table during a family-style meal.
She said both sets are built with organization at the forefront. That’s thanks to stackable designs and nesting lids.
Rambler Standard Bowls: Serve Up More
YETI said its Rambler Standard Bowls are meant to hold more and prep meals more easily.
The Three Course Set starts at $135. It includes all three sizes of the Standard models: 1 Quart, 2 Quart, and 4.5 Quart. The set also includes a press-on lid for each size. If you want to mix and match colors for each bowl, you can choose from several color options. Seasonal colors include an orange Papaya or tan Cape Taupe, or core colors Navy or White.
Each bowl can also be purchased separately if your kitchen needs just one specific size. The 1 Quart goes for $35, the 2 Quart for $45, and the 4.5 Quart retails for $70 on its own.
Rambler Low Bowls: Share More Easily
YETI claims that the Rambler Low Bowls, designed with a lower profile for easier scooping and sharing, hold just a bit less than its Standard model siblings. However, they’re also slightly cheaper.
The Hungry for More Set starts at $120, including the 0.7 Quart, 1.6 Quart, and 3.6 Quart sizes of the Low Bowls. Be warned: some colors are already out of stock in the Low Bowls models.
You can purchase separately, as well, to match how you’d like. The 0.7 Quart retails for $30, while the 1.6 Quart is available for $40, and the 3.6 Quart goes for $60.
YETI Rambler Bowls: Available Now
The YETI Rambler Bowls are available now online with early access for account holders. To bring one home to your own kitchen, you just need to create a free YETI account and log in. If you don’t have an account, you’ll have to wait a little bit longer until YETI releases them for standard sale on its site.
Your cold snacks, hot meals, and the dog who wants his water bowl back will probably thank you. GearJunkie’s testers just got their hands on a set of these bowls and will report back soon on how these bowls perform.
