Product Description

Amazon.com Review

The first bowl you'll reach for when you're doubling up on those quick bread recipes, this stainless-steel bowl is especially useful when working with ingredients that should stay chilled. Simply pop the bowl in the freezer for a few minutes before using, and your cream will whip much more quickly. The sturdy lip of the bowl makes a firm grip easy to maintain. This bowl is really designed to be a true kitchen workhorse. It holds up well to a variety of temperatures, and you can pop it in the dishwasher as necessary. --Jill Lightner

Product Description

Amco's line of stainless steel mixing bowls feature a brushed stainless steel design that is durable and easy to clean. The sturdy lip means the bowl is easy to control during mixing, and the flat bottom keeps the bowl in place. The bowl is great for double batches of breads, cookies and desserts.

5.0 out of 5 stars A surprising find..., November 7, 2009

I own the 2 qt, 3 qt, 4.5 qt, and the 6.5 qt Amco stainless-steel mixing bowls. The review below is copied-and-pasted from my review of the 2 qt bowl. The bowls are all basically the same except for (obviously) capacity. One caveat--when I purchased this item, it was advertised as a 8 quart mixing bowl. Amazon has since revised the listing and it now more accurately shows a capacity of approximately 6.5 quarts.

***My 2-Quart Review***
Growing up, my parents had a set of nestable, stainless-steel mixing bowls in approximately 2 quart, 4 quart, 8 quart, and 12 quart sizes. We used them for everything--beating eggs, mixing a cake, marinating meats, etc. They were versatile, but thin walled and over the years, took a beating.

I was looking for a set of stainless-steel bowls, similar to those my parents had, for similar purposes. I had considered the All-Clad Stainless Mixing Bowl Set when I came across this Amco 2-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl (along with the Amco 3-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing bowl, the Amco 4.5-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl, and the Amco 6.5-Quart Stainless-Steel Mixing Bowl. Between the 4 individual bowls, I paid less than half what the All-Clad set would have cost me. Unfortunately, I was taking a gamble on quality as I am a fan (and user) of All-Clad cookware and know first hand the fine workmanship they put into their products. My take was that if these items turned out to be like the bowls my parents had, I'd ditch them in a few years for another set and still have gotten some good use out of them.

I was pleasantly surprised when I received the Amco products. They are heavy, solid, with a thicker gauge of stainless-steel that would seem to resist dents. There is a heft to these bowls. The matte finish resists scratches. They are dishwasher safe. They have a flattened bottom as to sit on a countertop without rolling around. All in all, I am glad I went with the Amco bowls and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for these basic kitchen tools.

Great popcorn in a mixing bowl? Yes, after watching Alton Brown on the Food Network make popcorn with a stainless steel mixing bowl I decided to give it a try. And guess what? It works great! The steep bowl walls help keep the popcorn kernels on the bottom where they can heat up and pop. For the exact recipe go the Food Network:
