I recieved this bowl for Mother's day and I have used it to mix and proof my dough and I have been very happy with it. However, today I decided to use it to cook the bread and the lid cracked through the side during cooking. The oven temperature was 230 degrees with the bowl on the lid for the first part of the 30 minute cook and then I dropped it back to 200 degrees for the next 15 minutes with the bowl lid removed. So disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I’m really sorry to hear that this has happened. This product is designed to withstand temperatures up to 260 degrees, so what you’ve described definitely shouldn’t happen.
Our customer service team will be more than happy to assist and get this sorted for you. Please give them a call on 1800 990 990 and they’ll take care of everything.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is fantastic. It will make my baking life so much simpler. A perfect addition to my KitchenAid collection.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] An unnecessary but happy purchase! It's a beautiful bowl and it did a great job with the couple of loaves I've baked so far. I did find it wobbled (rocked?) a little even when locked in position, but I just put my hand on the side until the dough formed, and it was fine.
I'll only note that it's much more blue/cool-toned in real life compared to the photos online, which are warmer. Because of this, it looks a little off-colour on my machine (Milkshake), so I won't display it as planned.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Really wanted this to be good , it went on the mixer all good started off good using the dough hook but just never mixed properly jumped around and then was jammed on the mixer bottom took strength to get it off when I did I saw the jumping around had chipped a piece off , I love my mixer but this was just a waste of money , so disappointed.

We're sorry to hear about that—especially when everything seemed to start off well. Our team would love to try and make amends for the trouble this bowl has caused. Please feel free to call us on 1800 990 990.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased the artisan bread bowl and lid a couple of months ago now and I’ve played and experimented with loaf bread, savoury ‘pull apart’ bread, sweet AND savoury scrolls. I’m amazed at how this bowl simplifies the mixing/proving/baking process. I was a bread making newbie and I now feel like a pro! I do wish KitchenAid would get their recipe section of the site up and running. It continues to be a frustration.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this a while ago but it was too hot to do any baking. Works a treat saves time and effort being able to make one bread in one container.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this approx month ago. Love the idea of one bowl from prep to bake. Did find however the bowl itself difficult to remove from the lid whilst baking, due to the steam releasing.
