Eureka!!! Tilt-a-Bowl needed a handle...
I have, frankly, been obsessed with Koen's Tilt-a-Bowls, since he brought them to our attention in a discussion about forensic analysis of products that failed in the market place.

I own bowls with no handles.

I own some Dansk mixing bowls made of melamine. Each one has a vertical handle on the side opposite the pouring spout.

I massively prefer the mixing bowls with handles.

In fact, I don't use the bowls without handles any more at all.

While mixing my son's pancake batter last weekend, I was struck by a lightening bolt of insight, the likes of which I rarely experience.


I would really like a bowl that tilts on a beveled side, if it had a handle like my Dansk mixing bowls.

Anyone for an IPO for Koen's Tilt-a-bowls reincarnated with handles?

This dog will hunt.

I don't think, frankly,
I know what these bowls are.

Can you post a pix?

I can't find the thread with the images in DA...
and I can't Google them either.

Maybe the estimable Mr. de Winter will post a link to an image.

Search engines! They're still in the Dark Ages.

I hope this works...
As you can see, everything is already on the DA site...just kidding.
My good old computer was out for some days so I have to catch up, but I will get back on your suggestion dc.

A conventional handle is such an empowering thing to a person...
I strongly believe that a handle would be even more important on a product that asks persons to see the bowl in a new way.

Also, it orients the person to the object. People need a lot of help with orienting to objects, as we are learning in graphic user interfaces in computing.
