"Soooooo disappointing" star star_border star_border star_border star_border This review is for an older version of this product I had a Mason Cash mixing bowl for about 15 years which finally cracked after so much use. My daughter bought a red one for me for Christmas. On first use the bowl marked dreadfully. I took it back and without any fuss was given a replacement. The same thing happened. I changed it for the third time for a cream one in case there was a problem with the red batch. Alas the same thing. I am taking it back this weekend for a refund. I gather these are now glazed in Europe and not the UK. Lakeland should withdraw this product and find a decent replacement. support_agent A note from the team Thank you for placing your review. We're sorry that this product did not meet your expectations. Our buying team have advised that certain types of ceramic surface glaze have a mild abrasive effect and may cause small particles of metal to be rubbed from metal cutlery or whisks which is then left on the crockery. We will pass the comments on to the supplier and ask them if they could improve the glaze that they use.
"pretty, but" star star star star_border star_border It's beautiful, and it's not too big (I kind of expected - and wanted it - bigger, after reading the reviews). But it arrived with a dent on the rim, and I'm a bit worried about hard use, with this flaw, which seems to be there from the manufacturer I would guess. support_agent A note from the team Your feedback is appreciated, we'll be in touch about the damaged bowl.
"Lovely mixing bowl" star star star star star_border I have been after one of these mixing bowls for a while and when I saw this one in Lakeland I just had to buy it! It's a great size and lovely to use. I must admit though, that after using my electrical whisk in it, it has marked the base of the bowl and the marks will not come off. It has spoilt the look of the bowl, but I don't have it on display, so it isn't really a problem to me. I bought it to use it for mixing!
"If you're fixing on mixing...." star star star star star When this arrived I thought it was perhaps too big for my needs but it has proved a godsend. It really doesn't matter whether you have a little or a lot in the bowl, it does the job. It is not particularly light but that gives a feeling of substance and steadiness. It is no wonder these bowls have lasted and we can remember them in our mothers' kitchens. They definitely say 'serious baking going on here'. Get yourself one!
"Lovely" star star star star star So nice. Beautifully well made, now going to save up for the matching pieces. A must have for a regular baker.
