I LOVE THIS HEATING BOWL!!
on May 24, 2017
Posted by: yogurt maker
from LA AREA
I hesitated buying this bowl as I felt it was expensive. After using it, I feel it's worth every penny. I've only used it for yogurt, but I've used it consistently and frequently since I purchased it approximately one year ago. It's made it so easy!! I absolutely love it and would highly recommend it. I'm wondering if the slow heating mentioned by previous reviewers is partially due to not preheating the unit as mentioned in the instructions. As I recall, for yogurt, they recommend preheating and letting the milk reach room temperature before heating. I found this does make a difference in reaching the desired heating temperature. I feel being able to use the unit without attaching it to the mixer makes it much more versatile and user friendly for using it for multiple purposes. At first I would have liked the unit to be larger, however, after using it repeatedly for yogurt, I found it the perfect size to put a half gallon of milk and simply set the timer. I'm looking forward to experimenting with other things as making candy etc. I agree with the reviewer who mentioned the bowl locking system. It's a little hard to lock. Also, I feel the temperature alarm should be louder as it is very low. As with all new appliances, it takes a while to get use to, but once you understand how it works, it's very easy to operate.
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this bowl, I have used it several times to melt candy melts in and chocolate for dipping. I have used it to melt and heat dips as well, I'm looking forward to trying it to proof dough as well.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this very recently, mainly to temper chocolate. I have used it twice for this and it works great. I absolutely recommend it for this use. It's easy, it works well, and the chocolate came out perfect.
Now the but... it is also supposed to heat liquids up to desired temperatures while stirring. I tried to make homemade ricotta which requires the milk to be heated to about 200 degrees. I set the machine up, filled it to just below the fill line and set it going. IT TOOK FOREVER! After a little over an hour, it reached just 185 and wasn't moving. I gave up. It didn't work. The milk was hot but never got to the temperature I needed. This will be an expensive gizmo if I can only use it for chocolate.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this sweet little bowl a week ago and I am finding things to do with it almost daily. I love that you can use it on your mixer or stand alone. using it with chocolates I am able not to worry about cooling down.
Pros: good investment

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought the Precise Heat Mixin Bowl on the clearance rack of WS for the purpose of Tempering Chocolate, knowing that if it didn't work I could return it with no questions asked. So far it has worked great, my Milk Chocolate Covered Graham Crackers look great. My next task is molding a 18" x 11" Hollow Italian Easter Egg. Wish me lick.

I always wanted to try tempering chocolate but it just seemed complicated. I followed the instructions provided with the bowl and the result was perfectly tempered chocolate the first try. I'm sold. My husband surprised me with this gift and I love it.
