 A surprising find...Nov 08, 2009
I own the 2 qt, 3 qt, 4.5 qt, and the 6.5 qt Amco stainless-steel mixing bowls. The review below is copied-and-pasted from my review of the 2 qt bowl. The bowls are all basically the same except for (obviously) capacity. One caveat--when I purchased this item, it was advertised as a 6 quart mixing bowl. Amazon has since revised the listing and it now more accurately shows a capacity of approximately 4.5 quarts.
***My 2-Quart Review***
Growing up, my parents had a set of nestable, stainless-steel mixing bowls in approximately 2 quart, 4 quart, 8 quart, and 12 quart sizes. We used them for everything--beating eggs, mixing a cake, marinating meats, etc. They were versatile, but thin walled and over the years, took a beating.
I was looking for a set of stainless-steel bowls, similar to those my parents had, for similar purposes. I had considered the All-Clad Stainless Mixing Bowl Set when I came across this Amco 2-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl (along with the Amco 3-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing bowl, the Amco 4.5-Quart Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl, and the Amco 6.5-Quart Stainless-Steel Mixing Bowl. Between the 4 individual bowls, I paid less than half what the All-Clad set would have cost me. Unfortunately, I was taking a gamble on quality as I am a fan (and user) of All-Clad cookware and know first hand the fine workmanship they put into their products. My take was that if these items turned out to be like the bowls my parents had, I'd ditch them in a few years for another set and still have gotten some good use out of them.
I was pleasantly surprised when I received the Amco products. They are heavy, solid, with a thicker gauge of stainless-steel that would seem to resist dents. There is a heft to these bowls. The matte finish resists scratches. They are dishwasher safe. They have a flattened bottom as to sit on a countertop without rolling around. All in all, I am glad I went with the Amco bowls and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for these basic kitchen tools.

Good, solid mixing bowlApr 27, 2008
I have a set of 3 different size Amco mixing bowls and use all of them frequently. This is the largest one I have and works great for mixing up meatloafs, doughs, large batches of cookies, etc. All the Amco bowls are very solid, commercial grade and stainless steel, with a nice edge for gripping and a large flat surface on the bottom so they don't move around much when mixing in them. They really hold up well over time (I've had mine for 5 years now) and go through the dishwasher if need be without a problem.

Unusual use of This ProductSep 03, 2007
This product was recommended to me on a site about toilet training your cat. The bowl works very well for this purpose, but I recommend taping the bowl to the toilet so it doesn't slide around. The excellent construction of the bowl makes a resounding clang if the bowl falls into the toilet and this is not helpful when encouraging your cat to try something new.
I'm assuming that after I run the bowl through the dishwasher a few thousand times it will be an excellent mixing bowl. Until then, it is a very sturdy and highly recommended tool for cat training.
All around winnerMar 12, 2007
This bowl is so useful in the kitchen. If only it could go in the microwave it would be the only bowl I would ever need. I use it frequently for melting chocolate for brownies over a saucepan of simmering water. It is the perfect size for mixing up a batch of cookies or biscuits. The stainless steel is easy to clean and beautiful. The rim is wider on these bowls than on other brands of stainless bowls I have had in the past and makes the bowl easier to handle. You may find less expensive bowls at the big discount retailers, but you will not find the quality of the Amco bowls.
Perfect bowl for meDec 05, 2006
I have owned this bowl for 2 years, and absolutely love everything about it. It's sturdy, but fairly light weight which makes it easy to manuever when turning the bowl or when pouring or scooping batter or dough out of it. I have a very high speed electric hand mixer, and the size and shape of this bowl work well to prevent splatter with cake batter. I bought this bowl for my sister, who is also thrilled with it. I plan to buy one for my mother as well, who has arthritic hands and needs something easy to grip and handle.
