- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2015I am 53 years old and this is my first stainless steel mixing bowl. I could kick myself for not getting a full set decades ago. I have used this thing more in two weeks than I have most of my purchases in a year. It is sturdy - I have it nested below a full set of glass mixing bowls and it holds the weight of those bowls with no signs of warping when I pull all the bowls down from the cabinet. It is much lighter and cleans quickly. Because it is short and wide, it is easier to put in the dishwasher without blocking water spray from cleaning the other dishes in the washer. No signs of rusting at all, but I have only had it a few weeks. I do cook a lot and always have, but because I was warned of metals reacting with certain foods during prep in my high school Home Ec classes, I had just chosen to forgo any metal mixing bowls over the past 33 years. I will be getting a full set of the in these in the near future. I was familiar with the Vollrath reputation for quality before I made this purchase and I was not disappointed at all!
- Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2020After checking out several bowls and their respective reviews, I chose this Vollrath 8qt bowl. I am attaching a photo of the bowl inside a sink so that should give you an idea of how big an 8qt bowl is. It is sturdy but not heavy. The bottom doesn't "pop" like some reviewers said about other bowls. There is an abrasion in the middle of the bottom but I am not going to return it for that reason. It looks pretty harmless. This is a perfect bowl when making any huge serving of salad, pasta, or making filling for 290 potstickers. And it's so not huge that it's hard to wash it over the sink.

- Reviewed in the United States on July 7, 2023I wanted a massive bowl and this is it! Nice and deep and super wide, this is perfect. Been using it regularly for a couple weeks and hasn't had a single issue, still super shiny and clean! Great quality, definitely recommend!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 23, 2024This is a great bowl but made out of very thin metal. It might hold up well, or it might not. I think for the price it is great.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2022I have very bad hands from arthritis and need something that is light weight and not heavy when working with baking ingredients. This pan is a perfect size, weight, and the bowl opening is easy to mix ingredients together. I HAVE BEEN COOKING FOR THE PAST 67 YEARS AND I am updating my kitchen utensils. I sure have a winner with this.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2024We love these bowls and have multiple! They are great for tons of things in the kitchen and around our homestead (e.g., popcorn, scraps while chopping up veggies, big cake batters, etc.). We are very happy with these bowls!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 10, 2021This is the best mixing bowl that I have ever owned and I'm 67!
Where has it been my whole life?
I needed a big mixing bowl to mix ingredients for home-made dog food, a bowl to mix the vegetables for soup-making, a bowl to mix the ingredients for tuna salad, a bowl to mix the ingredients for muffins, and a bowl to mix anything that made mixing easy!
It's an easy clean-up too!
I LOVE it.
I have been using a yellow bowl given to me by my grandmother and she used it for potato salad when I was a little girl. Sorry grandma... I am now all grown up and needed a bowl both functional and big enough for large recipes!

StormyReviewed in Canada on September 6, 20205.0 out of 5 stars Perfect size, lightweight
I needed a large bowl for kitchen prep and this one is the perfect size. It’s super lightweight and well made, with the exception of a small nick on the rim edge. Note that the diameter measurement in the ad says 13.5" and that is to the edge of the rim. The actual measurement inside the rim is 12.25" with a height of 4.5".
