Vollrath Economy Stainless Steel Mixing Bowls

The broad, shallow shape of these inexpensive bowls put food within easy reach and allowed for wide turns of a spatula. these were also the lightest bowls in the lineup—the combined weight of all three that we tested was less than 1 1/2 pounds— allowing us to comfortably lift, scrape, and pour.

Though their relatively tall and narrow build made it a little challenging for shorter testers to access their contents, these bowls were lightweight and sported a generous rim—features that made them easy to grasp and hold while we scraped them clean.

OXO Good Grips Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl Set

Apart from having wide rims, these bowls were not user-friendly—and certainly not worth the high price. Their small, Santoprene-coated bases caused them to spin and almost tip over as we mixed. Plus, the company does not recommend using them in a double boiler, lest the exterior plastic coating come in contact with the pot and overheat.

5-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl

I've always used plastic or glass. So this was the first item on my shopping list. I wound up using the Sweethome's suggestion. I got the Vollrath (47935) bowl off Amazon for $8.25. So far so good. I use it often and even melted some chocolate the other day.
