The smallest of the Baking Traditions mixing bowls and one of the most useful sizes to have on the bench. At 1.5L, it's the right size for the smaller jobs that come up constantly — whisking a couple of eggs for an omelette, mixing a salad dressing, beating cream, marinating a single piece of fish, salting cucumber for a quick pickle, or melting butter and chocolate together for a brownie batter.

Most kitchens have a couple of medium-to-large mixing bowls and nothing smaller, which means the small jobs get done in oversized bowls where the whisk can't actually catch the ingredients properly. A bowl this size solves that — there's enough wall to whisk against, but not so much room that a small amount of dressing or batter spreads thin across the bottom.

Stoneware is the right material for mixing. The weight keeps the bowl planted on the bench while you whisk, with no skidding around the way a small stainless or plastic bowl tends to. The smooth interior wipes clean easily, and the thick walls hold temperature well — handy when you're warming a small amount of milk or butter in the microwave before adding to a recipe.

The finish is the same raised floral pattern and soft vanilla glaze across the rest of the Baking Traditions range, which means it sits naturally alongside the other bowls and the batter jug if you're collecting the set. At 20.5cm, it's also a useful size to bring to the table — a side salad bowl, a serving bowl for olives or nuts, or a small fruit bowl on the bench.

Microwave safe and dishwasher safe. PFAS-free with no synthetic coatings.
