Abstract
A mixing bowl with protuberances one the outer surface of the side wall of the bowl. A first mixing bowl has a diameter greater than a second mixing bowl. The two bowls form a mixing bowl assembly wherein the protuberances of the inner bowl contact and abut the inner surface of the outer bowl to define a clearance gap between the two bowls, wherein if the bowls cool at different rates after being washed, the mixing bowls are not jammed together. Each protuberance extends outwardly about one-fourth inch and the gap defined between the bowls has a clearance dimension of about one-fourth inch. The inner bowl has three or four protuberances and the outer bowl has four protuberances. The mixing bowls are made of stainless steel.
Claims3
A mixing bowl assembly, comprising:
- a first mixing bowl, comprising:
- a side wall having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a rim;
- at least four protuberances extending outwardly from the outer surface of the side wall and mid-way down the length of the side wall of the first mixing bowl and circling around the outer surface of the first mixing bowl;
- each protuberance being semi-spherical in shape and having a radius measuring at least one-fourth inch;
- and
- a first pair of the four protuberances of the first mixing bowl being located diametrically opposite each other, and a second pair of the four protuberances of the first mixing bowl being located diametrically opposite each other along the outer surface of the side wall of the first mixing bowl;
- and
- a second mixing bowl, comprising:
- a side wall having an inner surface, an outer surface, and a rim;
- at least four protuberances extending outwardly from the outer surface of the side wall and mid-way down the length of the side wall of the second mixing bowl and circling around the outer surface of the second mixing bowl;
- each protuberance being semi-spherical in shape and having a radius measuring at least one-fourth inch;
- and
- a first pair of the four protuberances of the second mixing bowl being located diametrically opposite each other, and a second pair of the four protuberances of the second bowl being located diametrically opposite each other along the outer surface of the side wall of the second mixing bowl,
- the first mixing bowl having a diameter larger than the diameter of the second mixing bowl and the second mixing bowl arranged within the first mixing bowl to define a gap with a clearance dimension of about one-fourth inch between the inner surface of the first mixing bowl and the outer surface of the second mixing bowl.
