My Favorite Mixing Bowl

This is my pride and joy in the kitchen!  About 25 years ago, I purchased this antique yellow ware mixing bowl with a banded rolled rim at an antique show.  It dates itself back to around the late 1800's to early 1900's.  The bowl size is 14" and I paid $40.00 for it.  If I were to buy this bowl today, I would have to pay a small fortune.  I saw one recently that was only a 10 1/4" going for $150.00!  So glad I bought mine when I did.  I keep it on display and use it only for special recipes.  Of course, I only hand wash it and never use an electric mixer in it. 

All good bakers should have numberous sizes of mixing bowls on hand.  But for most recipes, a 12" is a good size to have.  I personally prefer a good ceramic bowl for every day use.

Happy baking,
