TalaMixing Bowl, Blue/Cream

These are like my Grandma's bowls, sturdy and perfect size. I bought two sizes an they are displayed in my cottage kitchen. Can't find bowls like these anymore, but I did, thank you!

Great bowl! Stable, good width and height to get in there with both hands. Shipping by Amazon was horrific, arrived chipped, broken more than once. I finally bought it somewhere else.

I am new to cooking so wanted a nice mixing bowl that would last me years to come and thought previous reviews were great. Unfortunately I then found this very bowl in the Range today for less than £10, so after paying almost £22 for it I do feel very ripped off. Shop around before you buy this, you may be able to get it cheaper elsewhere.

This review is for the larger 5000ml sized bowl. There appears to be a discrepancy with sizing in the listing. Mine has an internal diameter of 28.5cm, but it does hold 5 litres. I'm not sure if there has been a change in design or, whether the size listed is for the box it comes in.Either way, it's capacity is 5000ml.For making something like a Christmas cake, this is the size you need. For me, the smaller bowl would just be too small for mixing in.It's a lovely earthenware traditional style bowl. The sort that you see in period dramas, although this is light blue on the outside, those are usually buff coloured. (Tala do make their bowls in the buff colour, if that's what you want).It's quite substantial. Weighing in at 2.4kg or just over 5lbs.It states that it is microwave, dishwasher and ovenproof. With a heat proof temperature of 230 deg centigrade.In use it's really nice. Its weight means that it is very stable when you're mixing.One side has a flat surface. (photo).I'm assuming this is so you can tilt it up on to that side when you're scraping it out.It's certainly what I use it for.It just about fits, and sits on the base of a Kenwood mixer, so I sometimes use it like that. Can't comment on other mixers, but my guess would be that the distance is probably similar.Overall, I'm very happy. Yes it will break if you drop it (it's pottery), but it's great in use, and with a modicum of care, should last for many years.I hope you found this review helpful.

Bought this as a surprise for my husband as he's taken up bread making during the lock down . Going by the comments coming out of the kitchen this is without a doubt THE best bowl for allowing the bread to rise,the dough comes away from the sides cleanly and the flattened edge just makes the whole process so much easier then the usual kitchen bowl he was using before. I honestly cannot give this enough stars !

I LOVE the colour of this blue baking bowl. It will match my new Beach/New England style home renovations and will look wonderful in my new kitchen. I always wanted one of these retro bowls and the fabulous colour is a definite bonus. It is sold out in all the shops in this particular colour so I grabbed one while I could. It is quite a large one, just what I wanted. Perfect.

Thought long and hard before buying this one. Our old one was a pleasure to use but the appearing crack signalled that entropy and the second law of thermodynamics had set in. So, wanted a new one that had quality, class, sturdiness, durability ( A mixing bowl of distinction) - it was not cheap but you usually get what you pay for and so far this baking reservoir is working out well. Pleased to say it appears to have satisfied all the aforementioned criteria. The large size means you can beat away without fear that the ingredients will end up on the ceiling or worktop or pet. A note of caution - it can lead to bigger cakes for you comfort eaters !
