Why is this better than just a regular bowl?

I suppose you could use a regular bowl, but I wanted a bowl that was specifically designed for the purpose of cooking eggs. I was concerned that regular bowl would get too hot or not cook them evenly. This works just fine and the price seemed good. I'm glad I purchased it.

Well I never tried to microwave eggs in a regular bowl, but this tumbleweed bowl is fantastic! I make my coworkers watch the microwave when I'm cooking the eggs. It's like Jiffy Pop for the new millennium. I love this bowl. Works perfectly and is a hip piece of art with the little egg on the rim.

I could not tell you why, it just works perfect, makes a round omelet or scramble eggs

Hi, I use just a plastic bowl, works perfectly fine with it.you can use a metal one as well.

The smaller bowls are really small. They're made mostly for prep-type jobs in cooking. Mostly to have small ingredients like a couple of tablespoons of something set aside for fast cooking such as doing stir-fry where you need to add ingredients nearly one second after another.

I'd say it's better because it's bigger. Not having to remove the infuser is an added bonus.

The bowl is stainless and very easy to clean. It's dishwasher safe, but has a double bottom, maybe to prevent friction warming or something ? Anyway, there are holes that drain the water out of the bottom, so if you stick it in the dishwasher, make sure you drain it well. I'm sure it won't rust, but i usually hand wash , because i run out of room in the washer anyway. You still need to scrape the sides, no more than a Kitchen Aid. I love this mixer, thrilled with the purchase.

It actually significantly increases the time it takes the dog to especially if you DON'T put all the food he's going to get in at once. Food that is only one layer (dry kibble) deep is more difficult to retrieve. CAUTION: THIS IS ONLY FOR LONG MUZZLED, MEDIUM TO LARGE DOGS. The protuberances can damage the eyes of puppies, boxers, pugs, boston terriers, etc. This is, however, for the right dog, a device that will increase their feed times by several minutes, or at least 2-3X longer than other slow feed bowls. It's probably good for them too as they have to overcome a challenge.

I used the stainless steel bowl at my sister's house and I think the glass bowl weighs more. Hope this helps.

The glass bowl allows for more volume of air to go through the batters and egg whites to come to the most fluffy batters. The flex-beater is the best thing ever, make light of all mixing.

The size I got has a top about as large as a saucer. It should be PERFECT for you. You will absolutely love this multi-purpose bowl -- I think of all the yucky breakable plastic ones I wasted money on over the years and just sigh...Congrats on your new addition to the family!

That is a problem. While I am not a plumber, I would think that there is an adjustment to increase the amount of water in the bowl. Conversely, one could use an in bowl cleaner to help keep the bowl clean. I would place that directly where the water flows.

The reason I bought these bowls was because the lightweight ones I had heated up to the point they were hard to handle when putting in Microwave for a minute or so. These bowls are the answer to me. While they heat up also, but not to the extent as my bowls that came in a dish set; I am much more comfortable with these. I live alone and cook for myself. I use a bowl to scramble 2 eggs in it without having the contents fly all over the place, they are that large. I use the bowls to place enough left over hot dish in them to feed myself. They are definitely a good upgrade, I am totally satisfied with the purchase.

Yes, it does. I like it because it's a double bowl and a bit more interesting than others.

The inside is rough to help grab while you grind. It isn't super rough, but I think you would end up losing some of the product you were crushing stuck in the texture of the bowl.

The bowl is very nice. It holds 6 cups easily. It is not a mixing bowl, so mix your ingredients in a larger bowl then pour into this. Adds that something extra to your table. I have several other pieces in various shapes and sizes. Well worth the price.

I would say it is rather subjective. Can you get a ceramic bowl cheaper somehwere? yup! You have to ask yourself what are you looking for and would you be satisified... This bowl is quite heavy and thick for the size, which makes keeping your shaving cream stay warmer longer. I fill the bowl with hot water for a few minutes to heat the bowl up. It conducts heat to the cream nicely. Unlike thin walled bowls this makes a very good heat conductor and holder.Does it look good? Yes it does. Does it have a nice mouth opening and correct depth? Yes it does.If these things are what you are looking for and ~$24 is not a real issue then it is worth it. I would say it is rather subjective. Can you get a ceramic bowl cheaper somehwere? yup!

You can use a bowl but it isn't necessary, I use the container and it works just fine.

It's really not the right shape. A dish pan would work much better for that purpose. Likely this bowl would tip over if used for that purpose.
