The sturdy 18/10 stainless steel bowl in this 4 piece set can actually go on the stovetop (suitable for all types, including induction) thanks to its 3 layer base; great for melting chocolate or butter and for warming batter. The bowl is designed with a rounded bottom to promote thorough mixing. For extra firm whisking and mixing tasks, the bowl has a sturdy handle designed to fit around the wrist while the cleverly designed protection ring helps to prevent splatters. A whisk comes with the set too.
