Mixer bowls...

[Otter]

I did a google search and there were a few companies that made copper inserts, (Old Dutch was one) that had them at a price that would work for me, but they were discontinued. Maybe everyone wants to sell the bowls rather than the inserts since the bowls are more expensive, but I can't justify the cost for my limited usage. I do successfully get the egg whites whipped with the stainless steel bowl, it's just more effort.

Choclatchef, stainless bowls are really fine, but they lose heat/cold too quickly for me, that's all. I'm just partial to pyrex for everyday and cooper for the candy stuff...

I don't know how to upload photos....duh! But I thought you would like to see what a copper Kitchenaid 5 qt mixer bowl looked like.

I forgot to tell you guys some other information I obtained from Bridge Kitchenware. Oldsheimzer's diease got me again.

They told me in an email, they are working to get copper bowls for the 6 qt Kitchenaid mixer within the next year, but as I said before -- they will not carry anymore 5 qt bowls.

Otter...the more bowls the better....especially if you are baking more items or preparing different dishes.

I just had to bump this thread up to say..............I got my copper and brass kitchenaid mixer bowl today!!!!!!

I want to tell you that it is truly the bomb! It was in the scratch and dent section of the store, but there isn't a scratch, dent, or mar on it anywhere!

It is of thicker copper than the the heavy duty stainless steel kitchenaid mixer bowls. It is a heavy, quality piece of equipment.

And I am very pleased with the fact that I got it for 1/3 off the regular price!!!!!

I could not be more happy.

Are you sure it is a KA? Below is the email I got back when I questioned them on copper mixing bowls:
