Does anyone know if the base of a hand sifter would be narrow enough to easily sift over & into these bowls ? Thank you for any insight.

The diameter of the largest bowl is 6.5 inches. I think a hand sifter will work with it.

I've owned a couple of sifters -- one quite small, one medium -- both would easily sift into these bowls. Note that these bowls are quite flexible, even foldable, you cannot rest anything on top of them.

I would think you could definitely sift over the largest if the three biwls. Of course I don't know how big your sifter is. Still. I think you would be happy with the bowls. I am.

I bought this bowl for my ancient machine...it works perfectly but I agree with the other answer....you have to give the bowl a firm push to get it into place or the top won't lock in properly...not a problem at all but you have to be aware!

I've used a hand mixer in mine and it worked just fine. You just have to hold onto the bowls and be careful because they're very flexible and if you lower the mixer too far, the side of the bowl will fold down under the pressure. I love these things--they're wonderful.

I use this for my cereal, and find it's well designed, not too wide for the average hand. I use one hand to pour the cereal into a bowl. I love how it looks with cereal in it!

Would a piece of hardware cloth screen towards the back of scoop work? Don't know how to attach, maybe nut bolt and washer or weave between tines. I have same prob but haven't tried a fix cause I don't have the cloth. Bending might work but you'll lose turd if I goes to back of scoop.

Since all of the bowls vary in size and stack for storage, none of the bowls share common dimensions. However, all of the bowls make contact to the metal base sides in addition to having the bowl bottom contacting the metal base. My guess is helps distribute the heat more evenly around the bowl. (It is possible the base has heating elements in the sides also....the contact to the sides could be important...)I measured the metal base for you. The bottom is 8-1/4" dia. The measurement at 1-3/4" above the bottom is 8-1/2" dia.Then it curves outward to the top of the rim which is 3-3/8" above the bottom. The opening at the rim is about 9-1/4" dia.Hope this helps you - be safe if you choose to alter its intended use.

use both hands holding the sides of the bowl, close the lid from the bottom, while it close to the top, slightly use both of your index fingers to squeeze the bowl, and use your thumb to push the lid down. Now it closed perfectly.:) make sense?

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 have only used the clumping litter so I do not know if it would work with any other types. I did not like these and if I remember correctly, I did not give a very good review. If I was to buy a sifting bag product again, I would spend a little more and get a mesh type. These made more work than just scooping.

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you I don,t read my e-mail every day. The sifter is 6 and a half inches tall. I love it it is so much easier to use.

I don't know. Seems if you could find a bowl with the right diameter it should fit. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

I've not had any trouble with stuff spilling out of them while mixing - The sides are very steep which I think helps keep everything in the bowl, unless you just completely overfill them. I've used whisks and a hand mixer in the largest bowl and it's worked well.

My bowls are not as wide but would weigh more.I really like the ones I got and want to order couple more.I think you would find that it works for you

I'm not sure. I don't know if you need it on there in order for the top to lock on to the bottom. Of course, you could just use one of the bottom pans with no sifter and no top. Since I have this at home, I can try it after I get off work and let you know...I may be biased; however, I don't know why someone would NOT want to use the sifter. It saves you from having to scoop out clumps. You just sift the good litter back into one of the pans and dump out what's in the sifter. It will save you a lot of litter. Just an FYI, if you use litter deodorizer, you won't have to change the litter as often AND it won't smell.

with flour sifters, you should not get it wet, otherwise the screens can get clogged. I was taught in 5th grade to shake it out and use a bristle pastry brush to clean it out. So, for me, it's simple. If your looking for dish washer etc, then I don't know-don't think you will have a good outcome.

Hi, so far I have the meat grinder, juicer and ice cream making bowl and they fit well. But for example the bowl shield didn't fit my glass bowl and also you need to look for model numbers when you buy additional beaters. My model was limited edition so not everything fits, but if you buy a standard model with a metal bowl, I think it's easier.

Hi. This handle is pretty easy to turn. If your mother can use a spoon to stir she should be able to use the sifter. Hope this helps.
