The Battle of the Prep Bowls.....whaddya pick

chefwong | Nov 7, 201302:05 PM     32

My current prep bowls is mix of SS and small glass ones. The glass ones are my mise en place, and my SS bowls is a hodgepodge of some Rosle SS bowls as well as 2 very old 2 qt Mixing Bowls from a stand mixer of some sorts.

Fast forward today. I did not pickup new Rosles as they are made in PRC and not worth the $ they ask for. They nest/stack well but they also have a slight sharp lip to them.

Picked up Cusipro Definitive SS Bowl- did not nest well at all, and 2 of them showed slight rusting overnight after washing them. Returned them...

I then ordered another set of Amazon. Tovlos. They seem okay. Nest well. Appears possibly to be made in the same cookie cutter factory as Cusipros Possibly. AKA - Both made in India. One bowl showed a slight rust spot. I ran steel wool over it, washed it....it has not come back.

Then I came across another BOWL. It's a bit different than all prep bowls I've used in that the bowls are wide and lower. SPACE hogs on the shelf, price is reasonable + it's Made in Germany, which is a ++++ in my book.

Weight for weight, the 3 qt German one is Heavier than the Tovolo one. Which = more steel.

CH. Whaddya say
I can't seem to choose between the 2.
I guess I'm a bit thrown off by how wide these bowls are.....
Some pics.
