This Copper Beating Bowl is functional and beautiful! The 4.5 quart capacity makes it the perfect size for food prep or decoration! Use this copper mixing bowl for batters beating eggs serving salads or as a fruit bowl. Made of solid copper with a perfectly round body and ring style handles. Designed to last for years to e!

Scientists don't know precisely why, but for about three centuries cooks have known that whipping egg whites in an unlined copper bowl results in a creamier, more stable foam that's less susceptible to being overbeaten and dry. For making meringues, or for any dish that requires whipped egg whites, this 10-inch, 4-quart bowl is unsurpassed. Use it also for whipping up the Italian dessert called zabaglione. The bowl has a traditional brass ring so it can be hung flat against a wall. A bowl this beautiful can also hold fruit and vegetables on the counter. Because copperware is often used purely for decoration, the bowl comes with a protective coating that prevents tarnishing. If the bowl is used for cooking, the coating must be stripped off with any common lacquer remover. --Fred Brack
