I need a BIG bowl

[Bernadine]

A big plastic bowl, with a lid.  Why is this so hard to find?  I'm always making broccoli salad, cole slaw, etc. for cookouts, and I don't have a bowl big enough to put the food in, and then mix the dressing in.

I have some of these. They're handy.

Me too.

I could use a big bowl of the other variety.

Good thread. I need a big bowl in my life too. Never seem to have the right size for salads, etc. I have come thisveryclose to using one of the Rachael Ray garbage bowls, but even those don't have a lid (and why would they anyway).

It's a 2.5 gallon container. We have two.

I realize you specified plastic, but I never found any I liked and settled on this glass set:

I feel better about putting them in the dishwasher or microwave, too.

I was going to suggest these too until she specified plastic. I love Pyrex.

I don't think that's big enough!  I'm talking a BIG bowl.  Like, stock pot size.  The 2.5gal/40 cup one might work.

I third these, if you don't mind glass. We had them on our wedding registry and they are one of our most-used gifts. The big one is perfect for salads like you mentioned.

[Bernadine]

I generally try to buy glass, but I don't think I can get a glass bowl in the size I need.

[rockpaperscissors]

I buy the 2.5 gallon storage containers for when I make large batches of ice cream. They are good for doubling recipes and cheap enough that they're easily replaceable.

ETA: I've grabbed them at the Wegman's and Giant.

[ssmjlm]

I know MLMs are the devil, but I have this huge one from pampered chef: www.pamperedchef.com/shop/Outdoor/Outdoor+Entertaining/8-qt_+Collapsible+Serving+Bowl/2792.

Bonus when not in use it collapses for less storage space.

You can probably find one on ebay.

I have a giant white rubbermaid bowl with a dark blue lid I got from BBB years ago that I love. I am trying to find it online but it's elusive.

[m15]

Yeah, ditto the MLM madness, but I have a stainless set from pampered c. They have lids and are fantastic. I'm anti-plastic though. Only stainless and glass up in here.

I have plastic ones from there I love.

I know MLM are bad, but Tupperware fix and mix bowls for the win.

I have this bowl in yellow that I bought back in 1982.  SO tried to get rid of it when we were going through our household stuff and I wouldn't let him.  He'll have to pry it from my cold, dead fingers!

I use one of these too. I got it at Target.

[Jillaroo]

Tupperware has a giant bowl, I have one in pink. I never use it because it is too big.
For parties I buy plastic bowls at a restaurant supply store. They come in different sizes and if I leave them I don't care. They also have lids available and salad tongs or spoons. The store here is called Cash and Carry.

[IrishBelle]

I have the Impressions Set from Tupperware that I love.

I have those. The red one is huge. Apparently you can't microwave them, but they are dishwasher safe.

[Pibs]

My mom got me the biggest bowl I think I've ever seen:
tinyurl.com/tupperwarethatsamegabowl

I compared it to all of the other ones that were linked in here, and yep, biggest one so far. So I'm pretty sure it really is the biggest bowl I've seen. Stock pot size, definitely. Sucker won't fit in my dishwasher because it's so big. I use mine to water my 20ish airplants each week and all of them fit.

[shamrockshake]

You know what else I just remembered I use that might work for you is my cake carrier, upside down. Huge, inexpensive and double duty
