It's great!
Not gonna lie, I did NOT pay good attention and had no idea it had a scoop in the middle. 😂😂 Thought it was all one piece. Also, did not make sure it would fit my bowl, just happened that it does (phew). So yeah, if you're aware of all the things, then it's brilliant. And if you're not, it could be brilliant as well. 😂 Maybe make sure you have the right size bowl for this, at least. Price is great, it fits great, the scoop turns out to be awesome. I only weigh ingredients, so I'm not sure if you can use the scoop to measure? I just use it to dump things into the bowl for weighing. I've been using a little plastic thing, like a shower cap, as a cover. So when I saw this I jumped on it...without actually looking at it much. Long and short of it is - if you have the right size bowl and you are good with having a scoop thing in the middle (instead of one piece), this is entirely brilliant. I've put it on while mixing to keep flour from going all over the back of the machine when I kick up the speed, which is what happens with my current spout attachment. It's a little tricky to put it and the mixing paddle on, but not too complex. It did fine with the mixer running, plenty of room between the lid (sans scoop) and the paddle for rotation. And, of course, it worked great as a proving lid. Don't really need 2 of them. Have had the shower cap for a few years and it's falling apart, but I keep using it. I expect that will be the case with this, it has to last longer (I hope). Note that while the lid snaps on, the scoop piece doesn't really "lock" in, so you couldn't turn the bowl over with liquid in it. But I can't really imagine that being a scenario, so maybe not an issue? Also, have no idea how much of a seal the lid has on the bowl, so...maybe if you were traveling with liquid in there, it might leak? If you've got that scenario and are looking for leak-proof, I do not imagine this would work. But also haven't tested that theory. So there we go. Too long, more information than you need, probably. Thanks for coming to my Ted talk...or...whatever. 😊
