The second dish I have anyway needed, because it is simply very convenient, so why not the cheaper plastic bowl that is well made, easy and may in the dishwasher. Speaking dishwasher, it's a good idea to drill down to the bowl a hole (but not in the ground;)) so that the water does not accumulate there, when it is upside down in the sink, I'll do that too (which is the only slight downside of the matter; See also one of the earlier reviews).
