Mauviel Heavy Copper Bowl 4.9 Qt / 4.6 L

More than simply beautiful, copper is considered the best performing of culinary materials. Professional chefs use unlined copper bowls like this one to whip egg whites to frothy peaks. Copper is the ideal material for this task as it reacts naturally (and harmlessly) with the whites, making them more stable when beaten so they almost triple in volume. -Crafted of solid unlined copper. -Round-bottomed shape promotes vigourous, thorough mixing. -Rolled rim is reinforced for extra strength. -Riveted ring for use as thumb grip or for hanging. -4.6L / 4.9 Qt -26cm / 10.2" diameter, 13cm / 5.5" tall -Weight 1007g / 2lb 3.5 oz -New with tag! -This is a vintage piece from 2010, so it could use a bit of a polishing, but it's been wrapped in the paper since purchase, and just unwrapped to take these photos
