I figured I would throw my hat in the ring and tell you not to buy this bowl. Please listen to all the other 1 and 2 star reviews. This bowl was a gift and it was great for the first couple of months. However, when I got around to making macaroons, the bowl cracked when I was pouring the boiling sugar syrup into the egg whites. The one good thing I can say is that customer service was wonderful, and they gave me the metal bowl that I wanted as a replacement.
