DOES NOT FIT 6 quart instant pot!!

This is a really nice bowl, that's why I gave it 5 stars but the whole reason I bought this was to use as a pot in pot method, for instant pot cooking. Several comments in the Q and A section, said it will fit the 6 qt instant pot, and it does not :( I have a really nice bowl now, but not for what I intended it to be used for.

Came back for more!

I was ISO extra large "individual" stainless steel salad bowls that I could toss a salad in without everything flying out of the bowl and then actually eat from the bowl itself. These fit the bill exactly. Although they are considered mixing bowls, I find that they might be too light weight and not strong enough to hold up to some heavy mixing activity. However, for the purpose of eating a well tossed salad, these are perfect. Specifically, I like to put a carry out (ex: Cosi or Panera) salad into a large bowl and then use one of the two salad dressing packages provided to toss into the salad - I find that when well tossed, I get good dressing coverage by only using half of what was provided. I test drove two bowls and found them to be perfect, so I came back and bought two more as to have a set of 4 over-sized individual salad bowls. They wash nicely in the dishwasher or by hand - great product for the price for my particular application.

Works well in a pressure cooker!

I bought this not to function as a mixing bowl but rather to be a steaming bowl for inside my pressure cooker. Even at 15psi, the bowl stands up amazingly well and has not stained, warped, or anything else. It's 3 inches deep and 7 inches in diameter. After a cleaning it looks good as new every time.

Use this a lot

I have had a larger size Fox Run Stainless Steel Mixing Bowl that I have enjoyed. I was trying to get another one the same size and accidentally got this smaller one. I kept it and to my surprise find myself using it a lot and often preferring it to the larger one. The Fox Run Mixing Bowls are of very good quality.

Perfect fit inside my pressure cooker

This 1.25 quart bowl fits perfectly inside my Presto pressure cooker. The outside diameter is 7-1/8 inches measured flange to flange. The inner diameter of the cooker is 8.5 inches. This leaves enough room to get my fingers down with a cloth to pull it out. The height is 3-1/8 inch. I can cover it with aluminum foil to prevent splattering with some foods. It is pleasantly light to carry instead of a heavy glass Pyrex bowl and cleaner than a plastic bowl. The small size is convenient for storing leftovers in the refrigerator to be finished off later.

Nests easy, 20+ cups, 5+ quarts

I needed a mixing bowl for my 48 muffin recipe, and this one works great. APPEARANCE: If you are concerned with the inside of the bowl on the bottom having little scratches from hand-held mixers, don't get this one. Mine looks like all my other mixing bowls on the inside after a few months (but who cares, it's supposed to!) SIZE IN CUPS: I just filled the largest bowl in a set of mixing bowls with water, and it took about 12 cups. This bowl takes 20+ cups. STORAGE: I was concerned such a big bowl would literally have to live in the basement, but in fact it nests PERFECTLY with all my other mixing bowls and adds only about a 1/2 inch to the height of the stack. (SEE CUSTOMER IMAGES) DIMENSIONS: This bowl is 5" high, 12" across. The largest bowl in my standard set of mixing bowls is 4.5" high, 11.5" across. (see customer images for a picture of them nested together)

Large steel bowls are a must have, not just for cookie dough.

Will definitely purchase 2 more of these for a large mobile kitchen. You cannot be without metal bowls like this. You can do anything with them. Cleanup is easy-breezy. Do we really want plastic polymers clinging to everything we mix? These bowls are a must have.

The best bowls ever

Okay, maybe I can't say with authority "best bowls ever" but I love, love, love these bowls. I had some melamine ones which were a bit of a disappointment and it's great to happily anticipate pulling one of my Fox Run bowls out of the cupboard and whip something up. Don't hold back, these are great

My new shaving bowl for making lather...

This bowl is just your basic inexpensive stainless bowl. Its not super heavy duty but not bad either. Very similar to the stainless bowls they sell at walmart, only cheaper to buy. The reason I wanted a bowl this small was not for the kitchen, I actually was looking for a shaving lather bowl and they were all so darn expensive and too small since I just a large brush. I Have to say, for a few dollars this works perfectly for that purpose and will last me a very long time. I am more than thrilled with this purchase. I did not want ceramic b/c it would break too easily. I don't know why they don't make an actual shaving bowl in this size but I would probably buy this one anyway since its only $4, and surely they would charge a lot more if it were marketed as a shaving bowl. I am sure that this bowl would be a fine purchase for the kitchen too, though I am really not much of a cook and don't know what you'd even use one this small for...maybe breaking eggs for an omelette. Still a good purchase for a measly 4 bucks.

Terrific bowl -- buying more because I love them

I bought 3 of this bowl as well as the 4 of the 8-quart model. I am coming back now to buy more of this size because I'm finding myself using it all the time. My favorite feature of the bowl is that it's really easy to throw in the dishwasher. Because of the way the rim is made, there's no water that collects anywhere on the bowl. (Rust is not an issue.) They're simple to store -- same-size bowls nest into one another easily and each one adds less than 1/4" in height to the stack. I have a family of 5 so I thought I'd use the 8-qt bowls a lot more. However, this size bowl is constantly in use and the larger ones are rarely used. You can mix 2 boxes of cake mix in this size with room to spare. I am also going to get a few of the 1.25 quart bowls for when I'm making smaller batches of foods, but I think this size will be my default choice most of the time. The ONLY issue I had with this bowl: It was difficult to get it truly clean before I used it the first time. I ran it through the dishwasher and it had a whitish film on it. I hand-washed and scrubbed it and discovered a graying residue (metal "stuff," I'm guessing) on the washcloth. So before you mix in it, take extra precautions to make sure it's completely clean. You'll need to use elbow grease to accomplish this because the dishwasher just isn't enough. The whitish film re-appeared the first 3 times it went through the dishwasher -- thankfully there was no more gray residue -- but a quick rub with a towel cleaned it off. Since then it's washed perfectly every time. If this were a more expensive Oxo product I would have docked a star, but because it didn't last long and because the product was so inexpensive and perfect in every other way, I decided all 5 stars were deserved.
