I grew up using a kitchen aid mixer - the same one for decades that my mother used well before I started helping in the kitchen and was excited to finally purchase my own. Extraordinary disappointed after a few years’ use to today tap (literally, a slight tap) the edge of the bowl against a cabinet and have the entire thing crack. Guess I’ll be saving up for a while to replace it - I can’t believe the cost of the replacement bowl. 

Apologies for the picture of a dirty bowl - it had been greased to rise dough and I don’t want to wash it with that crack in it.
