KitchenAid Glass Bowl Review

STOP PRESS: KitchenAid Christmas promotion 2011 – free glass bowl with every Artisan bought in November and December 2011. Find out more here.

Selling like hot cakes, and the perfect addition to your KitchenAid collection: the KitchenAid glass bowl with matching lid is a retro classic brought bang up to date. It brings the traditional values of KitchenAid into the modern setting – reintroduced to celebrate the 90th anniversary of KitchenAid. Now you can see the mixing from the side as the blade sweeps through its planetary action. This superior quality glass bowl is designed exclusively for your KitchenAid and is a perfect fit for all tilt head models with the exception of the Accolade model (does not fit bowl-lift models).

This sturdy bowl is sizeable, with a huge five quart capacity (that’s 4.8 litres in new money). Its timeless beauty means that you can take the resulting masterpiece directly to the table from your KitchenAid stand mixer.

It is 7.5 inches by 9.1 inches by 11.8 inches, with a wide easy-grasp handle, a decently generous pouring spout and the measuring lines embossed on the glass. Note the spelling of “liters” – this is the authentic American product created by KitchenAid themselves, not some third-party add-on.

In active use, you can use this multifunctional bowl safely in your microwave and even use it in the freezer without concern. That modern lid is a snug fit, so no need to worry about drips either, and the silicone lid keeps everything hygienic too. Both the glass bowl and the plastic lid are dishwasher-proof – cleaning up does not get any easier than this.

When the glass bowl is not in use, you can store it with the lid on. Flexible enough to handle melted chocolate in your microwave or butter super chilled in a blast session in your freezer, you’ll soon get the best out of this season’s must-have KitchenAid accessory.

A New Aesthetic From the KitchenAid Glass Bowl

The glass adds a whole different aesthetic to the Artisan, Classic and Ultra Power KSM, especially in kitchens that benefit from backlighting. The reflections through the glass augment whichever colour scheme you already have in place. If you are cooking with children, they will particularly enjoy watching the contents as you transform them from base ingredients to master concoction – all the while letting the KitchenAid get on with its work, uninterrupted.

Treat Yourself to a KitchenAid Glass Bowl

So treat yourself to this new retro favourite and bring even more fun (and yet practicality) to your cooking sessions. There are some dishes which will be transformed by using glass instead of the traditional bowl – your adoring audience will be feasting on the colours as you bring the bowl directly to their plates.

KitchenAid provides their 2-year manufacturer’s warranty on the glass bowl, but you can expect this one to outlive you. We highly recommend the KitchenAid glass bowl.….read more
