It appears that the bottom is small. Is it larger than it looks, or is there a way to set it over a bowl or pan to cut larger quantities?

You can remove the base, and then facing a large bowl stir, the base could be separated, if you think the volume of the base is too small, it can be split into several cut! Generally, a three stirring once is enough to use.

It does not appear to git out bowls. I have been very unsatisfied with the product makes a mess and waists food. I have tried zucchini, squash carrots and sweet potatoes with little luck. White potatoes do ok on wide slices.

The bottom is just fine. I have never "spiralled" more than it could hold, plus it's easy to remove and empty and start again. It's a fun 'toy' strong enough for most veggies, but if you'er determined to use a beet, be aware, those suckers are tough!

the diameter is pretty small. I don't have exact measurements sorry. The biggest bowl is probably deap enough that you could cut a sandwich in half and stack them, there would be some smooshing though when you put the top on. But if you're looking for a sandwich type bento you may want to look at different types. I always pack- yogurt in bottom bowl. Salad or caserole in the biggest bowl, then in the top two bowls I chop up fruit.

If it is a very large round cake. It is not possible to cut it to make it work on anything smaller than the dimensions it gives.

The bottom doesn't appear thicker than the sides--maybe 1/8 of an inch? - quite solid but not exceptionally weighty. We use it in the oven rather than the stovetop, and anything that sticks cleans off easily. But I suspect you might need at least a 1/2 inch thick bottom (like 1950's Guardian Service pans) to safely do away with a diffuser.

Sorry, I gave this as a gift, and can't reaaly ask the recipient right now. I will say that all of the higher-rated silicone pans i looked at online seemed to be on the smaller side; i don't know why. I will say that it is working well for the recipient, who cooks a lot and tells me she uses it all the time.

Be careful not to make the crust too large. I make one that just fit the stone, not realizing that it would expand a bit when cooking. I would stick with 10" or less.

I think it is poorly designed, very small cooking space at bottom of pan. The teflon flaked off very quickly. My Quisinart one has lasted twice as long, and no signs of wear, and the bottom of the pan measures 10 inches as stated on the wrapper.

I concur, the blender attachment is designed to prevent the actual blades from touching the bottom of the vessel, but the metal feet that extend beyond the blades could touch the bottom unless you hold it just above rock bottom. However, you'd need to be jostling the metal feet pretty hard to make it scrape up the bottom of a non-stick pan.

There is a way to adjust the height of the blade in the bowl. It sounds like you need to move the height of the beater up a tiny bit. See your instruction booklet.

Absolutely, you can cut the mat to size. I ordered numerous of these mats and cut all but 2. Some I cut in about half, others I cut into 1/4s. I have used these mats to line numerous things I bake for which silicone mats are not used (lasagna, baked spaghetti, and any and every time I do not want a caramelized bottom to cookies, tarts, biscuits, turn-overs, calzone, etc. I would recommend cutting these mats using very sharp kitchen shears, or a new razor blade razor cutter or box cutter with a straight edge such as a metal yard stick. Best in to you. Bon Appetit!

The bottom the pan is flat, however it has small 1/4 inch circles on it. Hope this makes sense.

Need diameter of the bowl to answer..top measurement if larger than bottom.

No, the bottom is rounded and can only be used as a bottom piece. I actually purchased two of these to made a 5-piece.

The bottom is about 3.25" by 1.75" and is oval in shape. So it doesn't have a perfect diameter. The height is 6" from bottom to highest point. We can fit it in a deep drawer easily.

The bottom is round, not flat. I used a hand mixer and the inside chipped a bit with scrapes. - hope that helps :)

I used a smaller kitchen pot it worked fine. Just be aware it may ruin the bottom by leaving black streaks from the flame.

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.
