I've been considering buying a second bowl but would be interested to know what others think who have taken the plunge and bought one. At what times have you found it to be useful?
Judydawn I know you have recently purchased a second bowl is it worth the investment?
-
Only if you can afford it Lovemythermo. It certainly is very handy and I do love having it but I did manage for 2 years without it. It depends on how much cooking, baking you do, how organised you are too I think. Those with the second bowl obviously would not want to give them back though ;D ;D
-
I love having 2 bowls but it is not essential. If you can wait, maybe see if they bring out the second bowl offer when hosting a demo etc like they had this year. I am pretty sure it was host a demo and purchase for $100 off or if someone purchases at your demo $200 off the price .
-
Lovemythermo, I love my 2nd. bowl, because I'm a lazy cook. You can leave bread to rise while you make soup in the other. But as Judy says, you can manage quite well without it.
-
Ditto to the above. Although having said that I don't think I would have bought a second bowl if my first one hadn't been damaged slightly.
-
I think my husband would divorce me if I bought a 2nd bowl :o (Doesn't mean it is ruled out though!)
-
Out of curiousity how much is a 2nd bowl?
-
$395 for the bowl,base,blade,lid,seal and MC

I bought the two bowl pack when I bought my Thermy so I've always had a 2nd bowl. To be honest I regularly have 2 on the go, but, like achookwoman, I'm a lazy cook. I also often make sauces with flour in them and find that that sort of thing doesn't clean so well and the bowl needs a good scrub afterwards (or a run through the dishwasher.) I often have on available for use and one in the dishwasher which works great for me BUT with a little extra effort I could make do with just the one.

I got my second bowl 1/2 price, and do find it very handy, but we managed fine without it. I did have the bright idea of keeping one lid for savory things (as I find curry etc leaves a bit of a smell) but it didn't work out that way, I just use the clean/dry one to hand.
-
My husband bought me a second bowl for my birthday last month and it is very handy but not essential as there are just to two of us. If I had a family then definitely I would want two bowls. Also you can keep one MC pristine for show. LOL!

Meagan I got the steaming basket and butterfly in that price as well which surprised me. Wasn't I supposed to ??? ???
-
I got the 2nd bowl on the deal for half price, it is handy but as the others said not essential, I use it mainly for letting bread rise or when I forget to grind something before I put the wet ingredients in the bowl. It does tend to allow me to be a bit lazy!

Well consider it a bonus for all your hard work Judy and say nothing to no one. LOL!

:o I think you got lucky alright Judy!
My 2nd jug was a Mothers Day present, and I must say it has been a wonderful time saver.
Already used both jugs this morning!
-
I did with mine too Judy. Must be my lovely consultant. :-* :-*Kathryn. It was all in the box that the bowl came in.

Judy sorry I got it wrong you get the basket and butterfly for that price ;)
-
Phew, I thought someone might contact me asking for them back :D :D So are you saying that you only get the steaming basket and butterfly if you pay full price for the bowl set Meagan?
-
My husband paid full price and I did not get the basket or butterfly but I don't care.

That's strange Gretchen. Mind you, they are not really necessary and I had already bought a spare butterfly just in case I accidentally broke it by going over the speed limit so I now have 3 butterflies.
-
JD, I got the second bowl set with the special offer this year and I got the extra rice cooker and butterfly too. Like you, I haven't used them and probably never will.
I love having the second bowl as I am often not organised and forget to mill the sugar or something before adding the wet ingredients. I do find that I often use both bowls when cooking and it certainly gives you a lot of freedom. Like others say though, it isn't essential and I wouldn't have paid full price for a second bowl set.
