Anyone Have the Stainless Steel Bowls?

[pampcheflisa]

I may need to invest in them, the friends that I have that own them, love them, but the metal thing has always steered me away from them. I would definitely go with the set, I can think of so many more uses than just the single one.

 

[Chef Michelle D]

I have the set and love them, I use them a lot. I just wish I had the room to store them in my kitchen. They are on a self in my basement with a lot of other over sized stuff.

Metal bowls are great if you need to chill something down in a hurry, because the metal will transfer the heat faster than glass will (cookware ice cube demo, anyone?).

 

[Mr. Pampered Chef]

I have the set of three, love them.

Absolutely love the SS bowls! I only bring those to shows, because I got taught that if you want higher sales, bring higher priced products! I always ask people at the beginning of the show what their favorite product is and why. That is usually how I sell a whole variety of products, like the batter bowls and such... I let the guests sell them for me!:thumbup:
Get the set!!! Much more versatile!

 

[MissChef]

Funny! I didn't read all of this thread, I just jumped in.... but Ann and I said basically the same thing! Great minds think alike!

Love the set and don't have the largest one, yet. Try to take those to shows instead of batter bowls because of weight. I rarely use the whisk in mine. I use the scrapers or the bamboo spoons.

Choose the set. They are one of my favorite products. The 4 qt. one can be used with the Kitchen Aid stand mixer as an extra bowl I use this as a selling point. I recently priced a 2nd SS bowl for my mixer online and it was $49.99. Two covers for the bowls are $9.99.

Be careful about promoting the bowls this way - for safety reasons, HO does NOT recommend this.

I use my bowls constantly. Not the jumbo one a lot. (Only around the holidays and the family gatherings.)

The bowls are a solid seller for me. I sell a set at almost every cooking show.

Thanks! I never heard that.

I have used the 4 qt one without any problems. I don't do this alot, only in a pinch. I am careful to warn them not to leave it unattended. Maybe I shouldn't mention it at all.

It doesn't fit my kitchenaid so I think it depends on the model. I would not mention it - it could damage the SS bowl for one thing.

I have the set and use them pretty often..I earned the big one and have never used it, as Kitchen Guy mentioned, I don't cook for the army very often either.

I just had a customer order the big one and she emailed me and wants to return it, she says it is so big she had no idea where to put it, what to make for it, etc.

My husband learned the hard way not to put hot popcorn in them! Talk about tranferring heat! Ouch!

I earned the big one too and very seldom use it. When it was the host special I carried it and used it for my "garbage bowl" then carried my dirty dishes home in it. That worked well. I don't use it often either but the tupperware bowl I used to use for those large mixing jobs (like fruit salad for a crowd) is getting - well you know how those plastic bowls get after a while - so I'm glad to have it even if it is only used once in a blue moon.

Good tip about the popcorn - I hadn't thought of that!

This is going to sound really strange, but I have this weird aversion to metal. For instance, to hear metal cling, is like nails on chalkboards for me. It sends chills down my spine. I love the look of the bowls and have contemplated getting them for over a year, but I know there is no way I could use a whisk in them, maybe only the scrapers? Do any of you think it would be worth it to get them if I can't stand to hear anything cling to the sides of them?

I never use metal in mine because it can scrap it up. I only use the scrapers.
