Default What are the best mealie dishes?

I daren't leave mealies in my beardies viv. She either tips the bowl or stands in the bowl and the mealies crawl up her! I feed her on her basking spot (she won't eat them anywhere else!) and put a few at a time in and I have to watch them incase they dissapear into the substrate.

Exo-Terra make one that has a lip that comes back inside to stop them climbing out.

I was looking at one of those yesterday. Are they any good? ie, do they really stop the mealies escaping?
