I bought this bowl made of plastic as a cheap second bowl, also because another stainless steel bowl would cost about twice as much. For batters but is preferable made of stainless steel, since it can not deform. You still have to do egg whites after kneading the dough, then a second, light bowl is very advantageous because for a bowl of egg whites must be clean and you then the stainless steel is not an extra empty and clean must. If the mixture is stirred light meals such as desserts, ranging from plastic and completely and is much handier. The two handles are also very convenient. The material is very high quality and the locking device on the ground is carried out more easily than the stainless steel bowl. This has the advantage that it is also possible to easily clean the bottom and dry off. In the stainless steel bowl, this is practically not easy. Overall, a very good buy.
