Choosing your bowl or mixing bowl

Pastry bowl or mixing bowl: what's the difference?

The pastry bowl generally has a flat or wide base and a large capacity, suited to kneading and proving doughs. The mixing bowl has a rounded, angle-free shape, ideal for whisking and scraping out every last bit of a preparation with a spatula.

Plastic or stainless steel?

Food-grade plastic is light and suited to cold mixing and storage. Stainless steel withstands bain-marie heat, does not absorb odours and is ideal for whipping egg whites and creams.

Which diameter should you pick?

Choose the diameter according to the volumes you work with: a small model for a dressing or a small mix, a large one for brioche dough or a professional mise en place.
