Tired of mixing like a turtle trying to keep the contents in the mixing bowl, I got a 13 quart heavy duty Vollrath 69130 stainless steel mixing bowl. I almost went with an 8 quart and was so glad I went with the 13 quart. Perfect size to mix 2 lbs of pasta and other ingredients for a tuna macaroni salad (pictured). The other pic to show it's size has a 8" Vollrath Tribute 69808 tri-ply ss fry pan inside which I wanted for my induction burner and works great.
