Pyrex Mixing Glass Bowl, 3.0L 181B000

Pyrex has been part of my family’s kitchen for generations, so purchasing this bowl felt both practical and deeply nostalgic. Here’s why… Growing up in a former British colony, I remember our kitchen was always filled with Pyrex dishes in different shapes and sizes. My grandmother loved cooking and baking Mediterranean dishes, breads, pastries, pancakes, batters and homemade treats, and Pyrex was always at the heart of it all. It brought back wonderful memories for sure. This 24cm / 3.1 litre glass bowl is a wonderfully practical size for me —it’s beautifully deep, spacious, and versatile without being awkward to handle. It is also ideal for mixing bread doughs, rotis, muffin batters, pancakes, cakes, and many other everyday baking preparations. I’ve noticed that the depth of the bowl is especially useful, because it gives plenty of room for mixing without ingredients spilling over the sides, which is what I love, because I hate spillages! The bowl arrived extremely well-packaged, safely, and carefully-wrapped and in perfect condition. (Happy with that). The glass feels strong, durable, and reassuringly sturdy, while still being comfortable to lift and use. The appearance is exactly what I hoped for —timeless, elegant, crystal clear and beautifully simple. Some kitchen items go in and out of fashion, but Pyrex always seems to remain a trusted classic, that’s for sure. More importantly, it also represents excellent value for money. This is the sort of quality kitchenware that you know will be used again and again for years to come. Come to think of it, even before using it fully, I could immediately recognise the dependable craftsmanship and quality that Pyrex has been known for over generations. I have also now used it in the dishwasher and it has held up beautifully —exactly as expected from Pyrex quality. It cleaned perfectly and remained crystal clear, which only added to my confidence —in the durability —and everyday practicality of this bowl. So there’s absolutely no need to worry. Personally, I’m absolutely delighted with this purchase and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, attractive, and versatile mixing bowl for everyday baking and cooking. You won’t be disappointed.

Excellent mixing bowl. Far better than the cheap plastic from Asda Harlow. Its not too heavy. Very well made, can be used for various things and therefore quite versatile. Dishwasher safe. Good value for money. Fits nicely in the cupboard.

Lovely cooking bowl, much better a glass bowl then a plastic bowl as it easier to keep clean, it’s a great size very large.

Still have , looks as new, heavy , sturdy , I used for mixing hot and cold , very good value for money

Just what I wantd as a replacement.

As described and delivered quickly

Great size for my bread making have one already but needed 2. You can count on pyrex to be strong and it is microwave safe. Price was great and arrived fast and well packaged.

We had a large Pyrex bowl bought years ago that, like the proverbial cat, seemed to have nine lives. Unfortunately, it didn't have a tenth and it expirted after an accidental drop onto the kitchen floor. Memo to self:- stop trying to pick stuff up with wet/greasy hands. Unfortunately, my wife's damaged immune system resulting from chemotherapy means we can't risk her getting a Covid19 infection either directly - or via me! - so we are shielding. As a result, visiting physical stores (or using click and collect) was not possible and an online purchase with home delivery seemed the best option to pursue. Google search turned up up lots of potential suppliers but, in reality, few had the 3L bowl in stock and those that did seemed to require silly money for delivery and/or long delivery lead times.........Pyrex stuff used to be made in Sunderland I seem to recall, so why the dearth of 3L bowls or is Pyrex something else that's gone to China? Anyway, Amazon turnmed up trumps. I found a 3L bowl quite easily. It cost me £9.50 with free postage from an amazon reseller. It arrived after a day or so. It is just as expected. I find the 3L bowl is indispensible generally but I find it most useful when making bread. Its really handy being able to see if the dough has risen when I make a loaf using the usual 500g of flour. A 2L bowl is a bit too small for this and you cant see at a glance what's happening if I use a stainless steel bowl. The bowl should survive a bit of wear and tear as the glass is quite thick and - dropping on floor aside - it should last a lifetime.
