5 comments about Amco 4-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing bowl.

1. I have a few of these bowls and they are great for making anything in the kitchen. They clean up really well by hand or just put them in the dishwasher. Buy one or more, you will love them that much!



2. I have a set of 3 different size Amco mixing bowls and use all of them frequently. They nest together for easy storage and seldom a week goes by that I don't need to pull out at least one for some job in the kitchen. This is the middle-sized one of the three I have and works great for mixing up most box mixes, brownies, etc. All the Amco bowls are very solid, commercial grade and stainless steel, with a nice edge for gripping and a large flat surface on the bottom so they don't move around much when mixing in them. They really hold up well over time (I've had mine for 5 years now) and go through the dishwasher if need be without a problem.



3. If you are considering both the 4qt. and the 6qt. you should know the 6qt. is only about 1/2qt. bigger than the 4qt. as indicated in other reviews.



4. While I wasn't willing to plunk down $80 for an overpriced All-Clad mixing bowl, I was looking for a stronger than usual, commercial-style mixing bowl, sturdier than what is typically sold at say, Target or Bed Bath & Beyond.
   
   This mixing bowl is easy on the wallet, and is a strong little number as well. The steel is definitely quality, and fairly thick, and the bottom is also flat for a better grip on one's countertop. I also purchased the smaller 2-quart bowl as well, and the bottom of that is sheathed in an attractive blue rubber, that also enhances traction on countertops.
   
   My only gripe is that now I need to buy the 6 quart as well, for larger jobs such as cake batter or salads. Really a nice set. But, I'd say save yourself some money and get the bowls individually, rather than the set of 3 bowls for $49.99 that Amazon is also offering.



5. This is a wonderful item. Before I had this one (and the same one in another size) I only had plastic bowls. This one is so much better on alot of levels.

   First it is a wonderful, all around great size. Its substantial size makes it great for alot of mixing chores. Its easy to clean and maintain. And great for salads as it holds the temperature and the salads stay cold.

   My old plastic bowls werent as study and had a tendancy to tip, didnt help with temerature reculation and were harder to clean (tomato would stain it , you couldnt use plastic as a make-shif double boiler, and it was hard to ever be sure any grease was off it, essential for whipping egg whites.

   this is a great item. They arent bad for storage either as they nest. I wouldnt get any other bowls, at this point...

1. I have a set of 3 different size Amco mixing bowls and use all of them frequently. This is the largest one I have and works great for mixing up meatloafs, doughs, large batches of cookies, etc. All the Amco bowls are very solid, commercial grade and stainless steel, with a nice edge for gripping and a large flat surface on the bottom so they don't move around much when mixing in them. They really hold up well over time (I've had mine for 5 years now) and go through the dishwasher if need be without a problem.



2. This product was recommended to me on a site about toilet training your cat. The bowl works very well for this purpose, but I recommend taping the bowl to the toilet so it doesn't slide around. The excellent construction of the bowl makes a resounding clang if the bowl falls into the toilet and this is not helpful when encouraging your cat to try something new.
   
   I'm assuming that after I run the bowl through the dishwasher a few thousand times it will be an excellent mixing bowl. Until then, it is a very sturdy and highly recommended tool for cat training.



3. This bowl is so useful in the kitchen. If only it could go in the microwave it would be the only bowl I would ever need. I use it frequently for melting chocolate for brownies over a saucepan of simmering water. It is the perfect size for mixing up a batch of cookies or biscuits. The stainless steel is easy to clean and beautiful. The rim is wider on these bowls than on other brands of stainless bowls I have had in the past and makes the bowl easier to handle. You may find less expensive bowls at the big discount retailers, but you will not find the quality of the Amco bowls.



4. I have owned this bowl for 2 years, and absolutely love everything about it. It's sturdy, but fairly light weight which makes it easy to manuever when turning the bowl or when pouring or scooping batter or dough out of it. I have a very high speed electric hand mixer, and the size and shape of this bowl work well to prevent splatter with cake batter. I bought this bowl for my sister, who is also thrilled with it. I plan to buy one for my mother as well, who has arthritic hands and needs something easy to grip and handle.



5. I should've listened to the previous reviewer. I'm not sure how these bowls are normally measured, but even though it claims a 6-quart capacity, in my tests using a liquid measuring cup, this bowl only holds up to 19 cups (4.75 quarts) before spilling over, which of course is an impractical level to fill a bowl. So 4 quarts is probably more accurate, and even then I'd be worried about mixing stuff over the edge depending on what's in it.
   
   In spite of this, I've happily used it to mix dough and fillings, and as part of a makeshift double boiler with a 3qt pot. It's a sturdy stainless steel mixing bowl with a flat bottom and a brushed metal appearance, nothing special. It doesn't have a rubber bottom like some brands, but you can always put a rubber mat or damp kitchen towel under it if that bothers you. Just make sure you aren't actually planning on putting more than a gallon of stuff in it at one time.

1. If you're like me, you can't really ever have TOO many of these. They're your typical stainless prep bowls, great for whisking and mixing.

   This package comes with four little bowls, all with sealing tops, which actually do seal quite nicely. The largest bowl is about what the size of something you'd use for cereal. The smallest will hold no more than one large egg.

   They're a bit smaller than I expected, but they are made pretty well and clean up great in the dishwasher. The lids have even gone through the dishwasher several times without incident.
