Pyrex 8021705 Classic Prepware Expert Bowl, White, 4.2 L

Like all Pyrex products this mixing bowl is reall top quality, a good size for mixing baking ingredients and with a pouring spout makes it easy to fill loaf tins and baking trays.

Still works well good size appreciate it works for mixing a few eggs really really well

This is a really good bowl, excellent for what it is designed to do. What it is not so great for is doing what it is not designed to do. So the person who reviewed it claiming it was a misleading advert because it's capacity is only 2.4 litres, not 4.2 is simply wrong. No doubt he was confusing what it measures (2 litres) with its capacity (which is the total amount it holds when filled to the top) which is more than 4 litres, because I measured it up to 4 litres. So feel free to ignore his 1 star review, it really isn't that helpful. Also the person, who admittedly gave it 4 stars, but thought it was a silly design decision to make the brim too wide to fit in his microwave, because he/she needed to heat a litre of sauces and have room for boiling. Well, they certainly had that, over3 litres worth of room. I'm not sure the designers were the ones making a silly decision though, since the broad brim to the bowl is very visible in the photos and the measurements of the bowl are available to read if you bother looking for them. Perhaps the 2L pyrex mixing bowl would have been a more appropriate purchase? Especially as the reviewer said they don't use the measurement markings anyway. So, if you want a good (4+l) size mixing bowl, with the ability to measure up to 2 litres and the benefit that it can be tilted for better mixing and has a nice, broad lip to get a good grip of then this is a brilliant bowl for you. If you want something else, I suggest you do your research, engage your brain and buy that other thing. Don't just buy this anyway, then review it poorly because you bought the wrong thing. Just sayin'. :-)

Nice size bowl, the usual Pyrex quality. Good design, especially the extended lip to one side. Very sturdy.

Mostly I use this when making bread or large batches of biscuits and the bowl is PERFECT. Recently I decided to use it to strain a big batch of broth into the bowl and then, ideally, to pour from the bowl into wide-mouth canning jars.DON'T, just DON'T. That "pour spout" is awful for runny liquids. Within 2.5 seconds, I had hot broth running over my hand, all over the counter, down the front of the double oven (yes, running both inside and outside the glass doors!) and pooling on the floor. What a mess not to mention the burning skin.

This bowl is big enough to be a very versatile size. I bought as a bowl for making bread and proving it in - this worked very well. The wedge on the base is great for balancing the bowl on for mixing and the spout for pouring. the rim is asymmetric which is good for holding when tipping. volume graduations on the side are helpful. Being pyrex, no worry of breaking with hot liquids. Good addition to the kitchen.

This bowl was bigger than expected but cooked my porridge in the microwave very well. The size made it a little bit unwieldy when filling my breakfast bowl.

This is good and I wouldn't want to be without it now. For some reason it is slightly (just a tiny bit) alarming in use. I think it will be just a matter of getting used to the angles that the flat planes on the bottom enable you to lean the bowl and also the handle sticking out. Bowls just don't have these things - I'm glad it does though - I'll get used to it.
