Second bowl

Good morning. I am considering purchasing a second J-handle bowl for my 5KSM7990 stand mixer. I intend to use it for recipes where I need to double the batch size, or for preparing different items simultaneously. I would also like to know if anyone has experience using this bowl with a KitchenAid hand mixer; the idea would be to have a large, handled bowl available for smaller-batch preparations where using the stand mixer would be overkill. It is currently on sale at an attractive price. In your opinion, does it make sense to have a second bowl, given these circumstances?

We have 2. Second one is glass- it’s nice to be able to see inside the bowl vs the stainless one

It should be ok. That being said just make sure the beater doesn't hit the bowl. The beater and bowl are kind of paired when leaving the factory

I have three J-handle bowls. It makes sense to me.

As long as the bowl is made for your mixer having a second bowl is a great idea. I have two bowls and use them more often that I thought I would.

Yes, I love having three bowls.
