Copper can't be beat when it comes to beating egg whites. When I opened the box and saw my new copper bowl I was amazed at the size and quality for the low price, but there it was staring me in the face! This is a gorgeous bowl even if all you do is hang it in your kitchen for decoration. It has a large ring attached near the rim so any size hook will be accommodated.

The bowl is a wonderful size for handling...not too big, not too little and just right in weight. It has a 10.5 inch diameter and is approximately 4.5 inches deep. Even with this size, a little person like me (under 5 feet tall) can easily hold the bowl with my arm around it while mixing or beating with the other hand.

BUY THIS BOWL...in fact, buy more than one, especially if you bake a lot and love the look and performance of copper. You won't be sorry. You will be getting a big bang for your buck.

HELPFUL HINT TO NOVICES: In order to get the perfect texture of beaten egg whites, it is essential for the bowl to be VERY clean. I learned from an award-winning chef that to do this, put a few drops of white vinegar in the bowl right before using. With clean fingers totally cover the inside with the vinegar, then rinse, rinse, rinse. Dry it with a lint-free cloth and you're good to go.

Chill before use, and the whipping goes amazingly quickly.

Get the rubber ring to set it on, unless you like to cradle the bowl in one arm while whipping with the other. And this bowl deserves the best whisk you can find.
