Summary: Mauviel copper bowl 2007-12-03
Comment: I use this bowl exclusively for beating egg whites and find the size and construction most convenient. I find that holding the ring or placing the bowl on a heavy ceramic crock steadies it without having to purchase a stand. It is easy to clean and looks beautiful hanging in my kitchen.

Summary: It is what it is 2007-01-29
Comment: I never understand reviewers who complain about the design features of this very specialized product. Complaining that one of these doesn't have a flat bottom is like complaining that your Corvette doesn't have a back seat. Round copper bowls like this are specialized items made for one purpose: to whisk eggs whites (maybe that's why it's called an "egg white bowl?" maybe?), and the design is optimized for the best result when doing that one specific task. That means they're made out of copper, which involves extra work to clean, and they're spherical in shape because that shape matches the movement of a hand wisk, and hence you get more consistent, uniform mixing, and more egg contacting the copper than you do in a flat-bottomed bowl. As far as holding the bowl all the time, a) I always hold the bowl while I'm whisking egg whites whether the bottom is flat or not, and b) it doesn't take a degree in culinary science to figure out you can set one of these in a cereal bowl if you want to put it down. If watching the bowl sit flat on a counter is your main priority, then this bowl isn't for you. If getting the best results when hand-whisking egg whites is your top priority, then this is what you want. You should decide which one you want before you buy. I really wish people would not down-rate something simply because it isn't what they wanted when it's exactly what it's supposed to be. Since this is sold as a round copper bowl for whisking egg whites, one can hardly justify criticizing it because it's round or copper. If you find it to be too large or too small, you think the workmanship poor, or some other aspect is a problem, then comment on that. Otherwise, it is what it is.

Summary: buy two 2006-09-09
Comment: At first I was very frustrated by the fact that this bowl had a perfectly round bottom and wouldn't sit on my countertop. Then: I got an idea. "Buy a second bowl!" I thought. Now I just put ingredients in one of the bowls and duct tape the other bowl so that the two combine to make a complete sphere. Then my kids and I kick the "ball" around in the back yard until we feel like getting back to the kitchen. By then, egg-whites will be beaten, ingredients blended, etc. etc. And by the time my boys reach college, they'll be certain to get scholarships for their soccer prowess. Oh, who am I kidding. Jacob can't kick his way out of a paper bag. Still, good times.

Summary: d. murphy 2006-06-14
Comment: This bowl is superb for its intended purpose, namely to whip egg whites. The unlined copper is the material of choice and the round bottom facilitates the whipping of the egg whites. Considering the care needed to maintain unlined copper and the awkwardness of a round bottom, it really has no other practical use (other than to hang as a decoration).

Summary: Just returned mine 2006-03-09
Comment: Call me old fashioned, but I think a bowl should come with a flat bottom so it will sit on the counter.
The Mauviel Copper bowl is attractive and may well have the right surface for beating eggs (which is what I wanted), but unless you want to hold the bowl all the time, its semi-spherical shape is of no use at all.
