Big plastic bowl recs

[Anonymous]

My son just melted my big plastic bowl that I have been using for "everything" over the past 20 years. Any recommendations for another one? It's a big, regular plastic bowl that doesn't seem to exist at Walmart or Target

Dollar store?

I buy a few from there every few years. They always inevitably get cracked or scratched up. I've never melted one though, that's impressive!

Just how big are we talking? Diameter? Height?

Yeah, he was making something and decided to add extra heat using the stove. (Luckily, he realized the problem quickly so just ended up with a small hole in the bottom rather than a huge puddle of plastic mess.) He made an A in AP Physics last year, but i guess some lessons didn’t stick?

Unfortunately, the dollar ones are too small. I need a big one with taller sides.

My “big bowl” that I use when I’m mixing massive quantities is stainless steel.

It's 11-12 inches in diameter and about 7 inches high

You may find what you need at a Korean grocery store.

Yes, I often use it for mixing up salads. The stainless steel one posted above looks good, but it is too wide (storage issue -- I've only got 12 inch cabinets) and too shallow.

Target and Homegoods (I think) are selling tupperware in stores now. They might have what you need.

This one might work perfectly! I have extra room on the sides of my cabinet for the lip. I'm ordering it now. Thanks!

Why do you want a plastic bowl vs. glass or steel, OP?
