How to choose the right Plastic Mixing Bowls

• Match bowl capacity to your typical batch size, choosing smaller bowls for mise en place and larger 7L to 13L options for doughs, salads and bulk mixes.
• Consider material type, opting for heavy duty polypropylene or polycarbonate where extra impact resistance and clarity are important.
• Decide if you need graduated markings or transparent bowls for accurate measuring and quick visual checks during prep.
• Think about storage space and select stackable designs that fit neatly on shelves, trolleys or undercounter storage.
• For takeaway or deli service, choose compatible bowls and lids that are suitable for hot foods and secure transport.
• Align your selection with service style, using lighter bowls for front-of-house use and heavier, deeper bowls for back-of-house production.

Care and maintenance

• Wash bowls promptly after use, following manufacturer guidance on dishwasher suitability and maximum temperatures.
• Avoid abrasive pads or harsh chemicals that can scratch plastic surfaces and harbour bacteria over time.
• Inspect bowls regularly for cracks, deep scratches or staining and replace any items that could compromise food safety.
• Store bowls nested but fully dry to prevent odours, mould growth and cross-contamination between ingredients.
• Keep lids and matching bowls together to avoid damage and ensure a reliable seal for transport and storage.
• Use colour coding or labelling where possible to separate raw and ready-to-eat food preparation tasks.
