I used this pretty ceramic bowl to make a very stiff cookie dough.  I was fearful that it would break (being that it is ceramic).  Not so!  It worked equally as well as my stainless bowl.  I have to comment on how pretty it is.  I have the white, sort of waffle design.  It looks stunning with my black Kitchen Aid stand mixer.  I’m very proud to show it off.  Glad to have it!
