Mixing Bowls FAQs

How many mixing bowls do I need and what size is best?

The answer to this question depends on your cooking style and the variety of dishes you prepare. As a general rule of thumb, having at least three mixing bowls in different sizes is a good starting point. This allows you to work efficiently without needing to wash the same bowl repeatedly during cooking.

• Small mixing bowl: Ideal for whisking eggs, preparing salad dressings, or mixing small quantities of ingredients.
• Medium mixing bowl: Perfect for tasks like tossing salads, marinating meat, or mixing cookie dough.
• Large mixing bowl: Essential for preparing larger batches of dough, mixing batters, or tossing salads for a crowd.
• Extra deep mixing bowls: If you are cooking for a crowd, making a large batch or need to mix vigorously, an extra deep mixing bowl is particularly helpful to prevent spillage.

How to wash a mixing bowl?

Always follow the directions on the package for your specific mixing bowl. Generally, most plastic, stainless steel and glass mixing bowls are dishwasher safe. For stainless steel mixing bowls you prefer to hand wash to prevent tarnish and maintain shine.

What bowl is best for beating eggs?

For beating eggs, use a medium mixing bowl that is made of stainless steel or glass. Plastic mixing bowls can result in eggs sticking.
