The big one. At 4.5 litres, this is the bowl for the jobs where a 2L or 3L bowl runs out of room — proving a double batch of bread dough, mixing pavlova for a crowd, tossing a salad for a dinner party of ten, or marinating a whole chicken before it goes on the barbecue. Most home cooks own a couple of medium bowls and find themselves stuck whenever they're catering for more than four. This is the bowl that solves that problem.

Stoneware is the right material for serious mixing. The weight keeps the bowl planted on the bench while you whisk, beat, or knead, with no skidding around the way a stainless steel bowl tends to. The thick walls also hold temperature well — useful when you're proving bread dough on a cool morning, since the stoneware warms with the room and helps the yeast along.

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 29cm across, it's also generous enough to bring straight to the table for serving — a salad bowl, a fruit bowl, or a centrepiece for a buffet spread.

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