I prefer ones with a flat bottom.. want to have all the same size as opposed to mixing bowls.. any recommendations? I actually envying my cat's food dish so maybe I want to get more of these for my kitchen use, if I can't still find suitable ones.. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?pcatid=332 Fri May 08 10:48:30 -0700 2009 248140 CACook 1 4666804 Sur la Table has a wide selection of stainless bowls with flat bottoms.
