Got these so we could have meat in one side and biscuits in the other and that we could easily clean the meat dish, without having to decant the biscuits every time. Unfortunately the two loose bowls seem to be little smaller and leave a gap between them. They tend to move a little bit in the holder and some food can get pushed into the gap, so not ideal. Would be good if there was a bridge you could snap in or if the bowls fit properly.
