Kitchen & Housewares : Faringdon Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl, 3.5 Litres

Rating: - It 'bowled' me over
As mixing bowls go this is a bowl you can mix in. Can't fault it although would agree with the noise issues mentioned above.

I bought this item to make bread. I bought the "Dough" book and this bowl is just perfect for the amount of dough in the recipes. I love the bowl it's great for that purpose. Easy to clean and store.

Rating: - It's a bowl that you can mix things in (some things)
It's a mixing bowl and it works pretty much as it's meant to. Since it hasn't any complicated moving parts, I'm confident it will continue to do so for years to come.

The reason for the relatively low score is because of something that I should have considered before buying, and hope that you will after you've read this. The bowl is a good medium-large sized mixing bowl, it is an ideal size for mixing up a sponge cake or something similar (4L is about 7 pints) but I wouldn't recommend it. Imagine using an electric whisk or even just a metal balloon whisk against a stainless steel bowl (fingernails down the blackboard isn't in it - please believe me!) so for mixing things using a wooden or a plastic/silicone utensil it is an excellent bowl. For anything involving whisking buy something else!
