copper Bowls

[Amadio]

is it a good idea to have a copper mixing bowl?

I found a set of three vintage bowls for a great price, but would it make sense for anything more than whipping up egg whites?

I thought I read somewhere that mixing cakes in copper produced some fluffier cakes.

That's the purpose of copper bowls. I can't think of any other advantages.

Hey John, if you don't need all three maybe I'll take one of your hands.

I'll see if they are still available and let you know brandon.

I got an old one in excellent shape from a friend for Christmas, it's 7" across and 5" deep and so far the only use I've had for it is to make my wall look nice. I missed on a huge, heavily used one in an antique store for $45 but I couldn't figure out where to put it, it was probably 18" across and a foot deep, so banged up but in a really great antique way.
