Choosing the right mixing bowls for cooking can be confusing due to the variety of materials available. Cooks should consider usage and personal preference when selecting from glass, plastic, stainless steel, copper, ceramic, pottery, and wood. Sets with multiple sizes are useful, and some bowls come with lids or special features. Prices range from $15 to over $75.
Every cook who prepares a kitchen will need a set of mixing bowls. Whether he’s scrambling eggs for breakfast or he’s baking cake, he’ll find it necessary to mix bowls. With all the strains available, your search could be confusing.
The first thing a cook will need to consider is the material the bowls are made from. The bowls are available in glass, plastic, stainless steel, copper, ceramic, pottery and wood. Material may be determined by usage or personal preference.
Some cooks may prefer the lighter weight of plastic or the durability of stainless steel. Each material has its pros and cons. Cooks who use the microwave quite often can opt for plastic or glass bowls. Plastic does melt from time to time so caution is needed when using these in the microwave. Some cooks swear by metal, pottery, or ceramic bowls.
Most bowls come in sets with several sizes included. This allows a cook to choose the bowl that best fits the cooking job at hand. However, the mixing bowls are also sold separately and this has an advantage. If a cook finds he uses the microwave for jobs like melting butter or softening cream cheese, he can purchase a complete set of bowls in his favorite material, such as stainless steel, and a smaller single bowl made for a microwave oven material.
Mixing bowls aren’t usually full of special features, but some come with lids, which is handy. There is a mixing bowl available that has a lid with a hole in the top. The idea is that the cook can mix the items in the bowl using an electric mixer and the contents of the bowl don’t splash. This is a bowl for hunting dogs.
Bowls are available wherever kitchen items are sold. People buy mixing bowls at department stores, discount stores, and high-end kitchen supply stores. The price ranges from US$15 (USD) for a basic plastic set to over US$75 for an upscale metal or ceramic set from a kitchen store. A beginning cook should look for a set of mixing bowls that are reasonably priced and have at least four different sized bowls.
