Can anyone give a specific recommendation for what bowl to use with this? I want to chop hard boiled eggs & I don't want to do it on a cutting board.

I agree with ATLshopDIVA (08/15/2014). A bowl with a bottom about the radius of the blade would be best, in my opinion.

This Mezzaluna has the same design and purpose as a Alaskan ULU knife, I own and use both of these. So a wooden ULU cutting bowel would work great! Just look up wooden cutting bowels on the Internet. Love mine!

Just purchase one of the large white salad bowls and you might check out the roller cutters, there are faster

We use the plastic bowl that accompanies this cutter. We referenced a local Subway store and they use a plastic bowl for preparing their salads.

I would recommend a wooden bowl. The blade is very sharp and could crack/break glass and using a plastic bowl might get plastic shavings in the food. You could probably also use a metal mixing bowl if you don't mind getting scratches in your mixing bowl.

Get a v-slicer (mandoline). I read all the amazon reviews and got one. I love it. It does many of the same jobs as a food processor for less money and mess. It will take care of your veggies.

Note deep enough for bacon, unless you don't mind the spatter. It is great for cooking eggs over easy. My wife makes a mean egg mcmuffin with Canadian bacon. Canadian bacon cooks great on the griddle!

I use it for everything I chop. I love it for onions my eyes don't water. I love it for chopping nuts you can chop them course or fine. Eggs for a salad. Just about anything you can chop. I had bought a cheaper one before I got the pampered chef one and I would not even consider another brand.

I use it to chop nearly anything that will fit in the bowl. For lettuce and spinach you'd have to do a very small amount at a time. It would probably only be practical if you needed a small amount.

mine doesn't. It doesn't mix very well either. you really need to attachments other wise you chase eggs around the bowl.

That's what I use it for! Works great and cleans pretty easily if you rinse it off right away. Very sharp so get something to keep vegetables from sliding around on your cutting board so you don't have to hold it with your fingers.

I found it to be horrible for hot works. I ended up using old Le Crueset spatulas. I've had the most luck overall with Oxo's utensils, which have some flexibility in the handles. These have zero flexibility.

The flat bottom is not ideal, but I make biscuits all the time with this. I use a rather shallow aluminum mixing bowl, and don't have a problem. What I really like is the strength of the blades. All the other ones I've used ended being all bent up, and I'd have to straighten the blades out before each use. Not this one.

I love my madolin and just use it with a flexible cutting board. I keep it flat so it is very stable as I cut. I think putting it over a bowl would make it rather dangerous to use. I do not see the advantage of a stand. I love my mandolin and gave them away as gifts to my siblings this year for Christmas. :)

I concur with all other replies. Depress the black top gently and twist to release. Simply press to dice. I find it to best for garlic and herbs. Honestly, it doesn't compare to a mini Cuisinart, but it is a fraction if the price. I've also used a $10 mini proctor silex electric chopper with excellent results.

I've had no problem beating 2 eggs in a cereal bowl. It beats them in a shallow bowl but I like to use them in a little deeper bowlbecause it reduces spillage because of the shallow depth. You get a lot of beating speed with very little effort out of this beater.I would not be without one of the OXO egg beaters.

i bought his for my son who is a green egg chef. he loves it. he says no burnt anything or underdone food since he received this model. i think one difference might be that with with the more expensive model you can check your green egg on your phone. i will give you his e=mail if you want so you can contact him about his bge.

You will need to experiment with the amount of water vs. the number of eggs you are cooking. The leakage appears to be a common complaint. Mine did that also. I was thoroughly dissatisfied with the product, and replaced it with a Krups. The Krups is superior, and I only have one minor complaint about it.

You would not want a bowl made of plexi glass because it is thin and tends to shatter. It is a very durable plastic bowl with a ring on bottom for gripping kitchen counter. Also if you have problems with the spinner, they have a very generous replacement policy.

I just use a bowl that fits, so that the food processor sits on it comfortably without wobbling. I didn't have to go and buy a special bowl, I used a regular mixing one.

Look under salad spinner for the inner part. Other than that I think you'll have to buy a mandolin separate from the bowl.
