Wait…what? There is more than one type of bowl out there (it is hard to type with sarcasm)? Of course. We’ve already taken a closer look at Pyrex mixing bowls, so let’s change things up and focus in on stainless steel mixing bowls.

You’ve probably seen these around. Any time I’m walking through a store that sells kitchen ware, over in the corner of the knife section will be that white ceramic knife set. Just looking at them and seeing the word “ceramic” didn’t give me any sense of durability.

Whether or not you are a passionate home chef, the kitchen is still the center of your home. It’s where you spend time in the morning before you head off to work.

If you love coffee then you certainly know that there is a lot more specialization in this area compared to days gone by when Mr. Coffee dominated the market.
