It's just a plastic bowl.  Nothing magical about it. 

I personally prefer a glass bowl so I can see the dough development.  Probably cheaper, too.

Thanks so much for all the information.  Isn't it interesting how attached we can get to something we use so often in a ritualistic fashion such as breadmaking?  I guess that's why some people love the Hammarplast bowl.  My favorite items are two heavy linen cloths from France that cover my dough on it's final rise before going into the oven.  Bread making just wouldn't be the same without them!

Once again, my sincere thanks for your help.

Ah-ha. Instead of a footed bowl, use a trivet under the bowl to even the temperature all around the bowl.

I've used a Hammarplast bowl for many years, until tonight.  Wasn't thinking and put the bowl with pizza dough in a low oven to halp the rise.  Usually turn it off after 30 seconds but forgot and ended up with a melted gooey mess in the oven.  The bowl worked well because of the clear lid so you could see the volume.  Can't find a replacement anywhere online.  If anyone knows please let me know.

They are so very hard to find.  Just checked Ebay and you're in luck.  Check out this auction.  These may be what you want. http://cgi.ebay.com/Vintage-Hammarplast-Melamine-Dough-Mixing-Bowls-bowl-x2-/290525368092?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a4a94f1c

Sad to lose a good friend, good luck and hope these bowls are what you want.

Hello Again:

I was just on Hammarplast's website: http://www.hammarplast.com/household.aspx.  They have a Dough Bowl in their catalogue on line.  The only problem is if they will ship to America. 

I live in Canada and just emailed them asking if they would ship to me.  It would be interesting to see if they reply.  I live in hope, I've been looking for a dough bowl for a long time. Hopefully it would be cheaper than anything that comes up on Ebay.

Hope this helps!

Received a prompt email from Hammarplast management in Sweden, and they will definitely NOT ship to America.

TheIR catalogue on line has the covered dough bowl done in environmentally friendly plastic.  It is the new edition of the old standby that so many love.

So unless someone can find a store in Sweden that will sell to America, we are out of luck.

So they still make a version of the bowl.  I didn't see it in their catalogue.  Was it under household products?  I have a Swedish daughter-in-law who goes back home every year.  Maybe I could persuade her to ship them here.  Will let you know.

Yes, they are still making a dough bowl, here is the link:http://www.hammarplast.com/?id=1748&cat=13116&prod=13120

I would love to have one, and I am sure others would too.  You're lucky to have a family member who is Swedish!

Thank you so much for your input................it is very much appreciated.

Regards,

Lyn

I see this thread is a couple of months old however, if anyone is interested, I recently acquired a Hammarplast 5 liter(?) bowl with lid.

Bottom has ART.NR 1071, it is a cream color and has 6 feet that raise the bowl 3-5cm.

If anyone is interested send me a message,
