Mixing bowls & containers
There are 25 products.
Good mixing bowls are the starting point of almost every baking project: this is where cake batter is mixed, buttercream is whipped, yeast dough is left to rise and chocolate is melted over a bain-marie. In this category you will find bowls in stainless steel, plastic and stoneware in many sizes – from the 0.4 l plastic bowl for a few egg yolks to the 8 l plastic bowl for large bread doughs – as well as practical containers for mixing and storing.
The mixing bowls with handle in Ø 16, 20 and 24 cm sit securely in the hand and tilt precisely when pouring glaze or melted chocolate. The stainless steel bowls from 0.5 to 6.7 l conduct heat well and cope with the freezer as well as with hot caramel. The Pure White and French Grey stoneware kitchen bowls have a wide rim and a pouring lip. For dough kneading machines there is the Nova dough bowl and the extra bowl for the Alpha 2G.
Tips: the right bowl for every job
- Bain-marie: place a stainless steel bowl over a pan with a little hot water – the base must not touch the water, so the couverture melts gently in the steam.
- Keep an eye on yeast dough: in the clear plastic bowls you can always see how far the dough has risen.
- Knead without a break: with the extra bowl for the Alpha 2G, one dough rests for bulk fermentation while the machine is already kneading the next.
- Tidy decorating: in the ingredient container with 6 inserts, sprinkles, pearls and chocolate chips each have their own compartment.
Questions about mixing bowls and containers
Stainless steel or plastic – which mixing bowl is right for you?
Stainless steel is ideal for a bain-marie, for ganache and for quick cooling, because it passes on heat and cold rapidly. The food-safe plastic bowls are light, shatterproof and cope with both very hot and ice-cold contents – and unlike stainless steel they can go in the microwave, for example to warm ganache or butter on a low setting.
What is the plastic container with screw lid for?
The 4-piece set of container, screw lid, bottle-neck attachment and pouring insert is used for mixing, airtight storage and controlled pouring. Remove the lid before warming the contents in the microwave.
