Glad Mixing Bowl with Handle – 3 Quart | Heavy Duty Plastic with Pour Spout and Non-Slip Base | Dishwasher Safe Kitchen Supplies for Cooking and Baking, Red

This is described as a "mixing bowl," but it's better than that - it's a genuine batter bowl. A mixing bowl is just a round bowl with a flat bottom. A batter bowl is meant to serve a dual function - for both mixing a batter, and then pouring it into muffin tins or whatever. For that to work, it has to have several features:1. Big enough to have room for the batter, and flat on the bottom, so you can use mixer beaters in it2. Good dripless spout, for precision pouring without mess or spillage3. Easy to maneuver - lightweight and easy to gripSuprisingly few bowls on the market meet these three criteria. Glass ones are out of the question - too bulky and heavy. A glass round mixing bowl is great for mixing, but impossible to pour from; glass "batter bowls" are misnamed - they aren't large enough to mix a full recipe of batter, they are too narrow at the bottom, their pour spouts are wide, clumsy and messy, and they are too bulky and heavy to control when trying to pour batter. They are essentially giant measuring cups. They're awkward and heavy even when empty.Stainless steel and plastic are better options, but most on the market today have inadequate pouring spouts, which drip heavily or spill over a wide area. Not so good for getting batter into cups without mess. There is also a current fashion for tiny handles, probably because it lets you have a stack of different sized bowls which nest neatly inside each other. The downside of that is, it's very hard to use one of those mini-handles to lift and control a full, heavy bowl of batter as you're trying to pour. You're forced to pinch the tiny handle between your thumb and forefinger, and that's easier said than done - it can slip easily and then you're having a bad day.This bowl solves all those problems. It's large enough to allow for high-speed mixing without spattering, and flat so that there's plenty of room for the beaters to reach everywhere.It's very sturdy, but also very lightweight and maneuverable, and the handle is as long as the bowl, so you have your choice of gripping it in your palm/fist, or just resting it over the crook of your open palm, so you don't even have to grip it much at all. Either way, pouring is a natural movement, without strain or slippage.The mostly dripless spout will drip a bit as any spout will, but much less, and it's easily controlled. I haven't had a problem pouring cupcakes, muffins and popovers. It's balanced and offers a lot of pouring control.I had to wait several times to buy this, as it kept being out of stock and then immediately selling out again. The reason it keeps selling out is that experienced bakers know the best product when they see it. This is much more useful than "fancy" bowls or sets that are double or triple the price. If you get a chance to get this, it's a keeper!

I purchased the Glad Mixing Bowl with Handle – 3 Quart Heavy Duty Plastic with Pour Spout and Non-Slip Base in dark gray.I use this bowl in our RV to mix waffle batter. It’s the perfect size at 12 cups so there is plenty of room to mix and not spill the contents of the bowl. I love the pour spout which makes it easy to pour batter into a waffle iron. The bowl and handle are very sturdy and the non-slip bottom keeps the bowl in place.This bowl can be used for hand mixing any batter. I do not recommend using an electric mixer to avoid damaging the plastic construction.Overall, I’m extremely pleased with this product & found it a bargain for $15.

Perfect mixing bowl I ever had. It’s the right size and the rubber on the bottom is the best thing ever- the bowl doesn’t slide on the counter. Light weight and had a nice size handle

I'm very happy with this Glad mixing bowl. It's built well, has a comfortable handle, and handles everyday kitchen tasks perfectly. No complaints at all—it's a good, reliable bowl.

Very nice and sturdy bowl. Many uses possible.

Love the size and it’s lightweight. Wish you could read the measurements easier on the inside.

Very c convenient for pouring water into my fish tank and pouring sauces after mixing love the handle and the sturdy material with a great price and large holding capacity. Ordered red so the pasta sauce won’t stain the bowl

Love this bowl for soap making. The pour spout and handle make soap easy to pour. It is great with the lye mixture.The non slip bottom is helpful when using caustic products. I feel like I’m less likely to spill.This is easy to clean and I haven’t stained it.

Great everyday bowl

Tamanho ótimo, material de qualidade.Bem robusto.

I really like it.

An expensive bowl and some quite sharp edges which should have been smoothed off after moulding.Thankfully the exorbitant cost of postage was equalled by a corresponding reduction from Amazon, otherwise to total cost would ave been prohibitive. Addis make better bowls, but I think they may have gone out of business.
