KitchenAid KB3SS 3-Quart Stainless Steel Bowl for Pivot Head Stand Mixers

Unlike the 4.5 quart bowl, this bowl doesn't have a handle, which may matter more than you think when you're twisting the bowl out of the mixer socket. Recipes that tend to "creep up" the mixer bowl sides will also creep right out of this one, so it may not be the best choice for all cooks.

I like this bowl. I wanted an extra bowl but I do not have much storage space . This bowl will sit right in my large bowl which saves me valuable space. The instructions that comes with the bowl states this is good for small jobs such as whipping a cup of cream etc. I am able to mash 6 small potatoes with out any promblems. If you try to do a larger amount the food will splash out. This is perfect for small jobs.

I love my Kitchenaid mixer but this bowl accessory has some design flaws. Due to the fact that the bowl is shorter than the standard bowl it cannot contain ingredients during high speed mixing. The shorter bowl enables ingredients to fly all over your kitchen. I'll stick with the standard bowl.

The editorial review of this product states it has a handle. I own this bowl and think it is great, but it does not have a handle like the 4 1/2 quart bowl.
