I purchased this bowl to knead large quantity of dough rather that doing it on the counter. It works great.

I like to double almost all recipes in order to share or have extra to freeze -- this 12 qt bowl lets me mix it up easily, even with my hands, without slopping over the edges. It's sturdy but lightweight, easy to pour from.

This bowl is great for mixing large batches. I stuff a 28 lb. turkey for Thanksgiving and this bowl is great for mixing the bread stuffing with room to spare. Clean up is quick and easy.

I love to cook for a crowd and have needed this bowl for so long. Finally, this year I was able to mix up my Thanksgiving stuffing in one bowl. I'll use it for many things. A real necessity for a large family with an enthusiastic cook. Lightweight as well.

This 12qt stainless bowl is fantastic. I have looked all over for one this large and had difficulty finding one. My Daughter recently got married in June and she wanted a large stainless bowl like I have that I have had for 20 years but could not find one that size until I found this Chefs Catalog website. She is very thrilled with this bowl and I hate to say it but it is a better quality than the one I have had for 20 years

This bowl is sturdy and well-made. However, it is REALLY big. I wanted a bowl I could put in the dishwasher, and it's too big to fit. But I'm sure I will find uses for it.

This allows me to make two loaf of bread without worry about not getting done faster. I had only a smaller bowel which I could only make one loaf at a time.
Thanks Chefs.

This item is well made just like everything else I have ordered from Chefs, but then I have come to expect only the best because everything I have gotten from Chefs is top notch quality. This will be used many times in my kitchen.

It was quite a bit larger than I had expected. It's hard to envision sizes from photographs. Solid construction but not too heavy. Hard to find where to put it, though.

I've purchased 2 of those strong plastic bowls in the last few years and both of them cracked though just average use, my cost $40.00. This bowl cost $19.99, and will last a lifetime.!!!!

I've been looking for a big stainless steel bowl for awhile. At first I thought this was too big to fit in any of my cabinets but it is the perfect size for the cooking/baking that I do. I did find a spot for it in my kitchen and I use it all the time.

I have looked high and low for a bowl this size. I can't wait to use it. It is perfect for doing a double recipe. You'll have plenty of room for mixing and not spill all over the place. Again, it's perfect.
