KitchenAid 5-Qt. Tilt-Head Glass Bowl with Measurement Markings & Lid

I absolutely LOVE this mixing bowl. I bought it to go with my KitchenAid Artisan Series 5 Quart Tilt-Head Stand Mixer in Boysenberry.It is large in size, which is great. It fits perfectly well on my mixer. The lid is great for storing food/excess mixture in the fridge. It seals perfectly well. I actually have this bowl in my fridge right now with left over mashed potatoes that I made in it with my mixer.Since it is glass, obviously you can watch while your mixing and know that everything is being incorporated and mixed thoroughly.It is a bit pricey, but I feel like it is worth it. It is very heavy and looks great. I expect it to last... forever.If you keep checking back here at Amazon and look where it says "Used and New from xxx.xx" you can find great deals on them. "Used" usually just means it was a return, but never actually used. I bought mine that way and saved 30 bucks! It was listed as "used" and said "packaging may be damaged." When I received it, you could tell it was clearly brand new, never out of the box and definitely not used. The box did look a little messed up, a corner of it was a little crushed, and some of the graphic was like scratched up, but who cares about the box?? It saved me a lot of money and was perfect.

I love it so much that when I broke mine while washing it this morning (got a little spazzy with Playtex gloves on and it hit the cast iron sink pretty good) I immediately logged on and ordered a replacement. That's love.I do make a lot of bread in my KitchenAid (multiple times per week, I almost never buy commercially made bread) and I absolutely love being able to see the dough at the bottom and how it's sticking tells me exactly whether I've got too much or not enough water. I bake bread so much that I can tell based on how it's sticking or cleaning off the side whether I've got enough water in it. I really can't believe I waited so long to buy it.When I put mine on I wedge it with the pour spout against the mixer head support so that it can't move. If it didn't do that I feel like you might risk banging it around but if you wedge it, it's solid in place and no issues.The one thing I do miss is the pour spout, not so much for pouring but for keeping the flour in the bowl. What I do is clip a clean towel over the top of it with a chip clip and go to town. I think I'm going to glue or sew some velcro to a towel and have it be a permanent solution. Maybe I'll invent something.I LOVE the cover and how it keeps the bowl clean. Big time-saver.In reality though I'd say that even with that one drawback with the pour spout, it's only a half-star off the final grade and I'd say that the fact that I ordered a new one within a half hour of having broken mine is pretty strong evidence that this is AWESOME.

I have no idea why I waited so long to buy this bowl. It's perfect. It twists on and off with no problems like some have stated. No jamming or getting stuck at all. The pour spout is way convenient. The glass is quite thick which I hope means it'll be durable and last(I'm sure it will). I love being able to see through to my ingredients and having the measure marks on the side is so nice too. It is about 1-1.5 inches wider than the original steel bowl it came with(including the spout). I have the artisan 5qt and this fits like a glove.😉 my mixing attachments fit nicely into the bowl for storage. I simply love having a bowl with a lid that snaps on for storage. Like, I seriously love it! No more saran wrap that won't cling...lol It is obviously heavier but that's completely OK with me. No heavier than my cast iron I'm sure. Just a perfect bowl..😍😍 we were obviously meant to be together.....Happy Cooking!

I received the classic KitchenAid 4.5 quart stand mixer for Christmas, and it became immediately apparent that as much cooking as I do, I needed a second bowl. The 5 quart glass bowl *does work* with the Classic model and fits perfectly in the stand. I actually prefer the glass bowl over the original stainless that came with the mixer since it's slightly larger. Made from heavy glass and the handle is a huge plus, not to mention it has a lid also. I made an Italian Cream Cake for Christmas which called for beaten egg whites to be added to the cake batter, and it was so nice to be able to change out the bowl and beater for another bowl with the whisk to beat the eggs.For people who are having trouble with the mixer not mixing ingredients in the very bottom of the bowl, I'll share a tip I found on another review which came straight from KitchenAid customer service. If you place a dime in the bottom of the bowl with the flat beater attached, the beater should move the dime about 1/4" or so when you turn the mixer on. It shouldn't hit the bowl, but it should at least move the dime. This is easily accomplished by adjusting the screw at the base of the tilt head - VERY SMALL increments, then re-test. I had to adjust my brand new mixer and now it mixes everything in the bottom of the bowl perfectly.Don't hesitate to buy this bowl if you need an extra. It is worth every penny, and Amazon is much cheaper than other stores we checked.

Love it bought it several years ago
