My New BFF IN The Kitchen

How many of you have a favorite pan, dish or even that favorite bowl that you always use when baking or cooking?  I have found my favorite go to bowl.  First a little background...

In the past 3 months I have been to 2 Pampered Chef parties.  The first was a good friend of mine.  She hosted a party.  Which happened to be my first Pampered Chef party I had ever been to.  The second was the party I hosted.  I had a blast at both!  Before, I had had a total of 2 Pampered Chef items.

• paring knife (given as a gift) 
• measuring cups (also, given as a gift)

I love them both, but just never looked into buying more.  I bought a few items at the first party.  Then since I have such awesome friends and family, I had such good sales I was able to pick $140 in Pampered Chef products.  Boy, that was fun.  That is when I found my new favorite toy for the kitchen.

I think it's called the Classic Batter Bowl.  All I know is I LOVE it!  Already I have made brownies, cupcakes, pancakes, instant potatoes, homemade salad dressing and I know more.  

I love it because it is glass.  I have a similar bowl made from Tupperware that I have had for years.  It actually used to be my moms.  I did use that a lot but over the years I have lost the very tip of the lid so it doesn't close tightly.  So I can only mix with it and not store pudding or other items in it.  

It is amazing how long Tupperware can last.  This bowl has to be at least 30 years old.  That is just a guess, but I remember my mom  cooking with this when I was a child and I am 37 years old.  

Anyway, I love to cook and I am {smiling as I say this} slowly getting better at baking.  I am now finding out it is much more fun, exciting and easier when you have awesome baking utensils to work with.  

So, do you have a "Go To Bowl"?  Do you have a favorite item that you are always using no matter what you are making?  I would love to hear what Pampered Chef, Tupperware or any products are your favorites.
