Bowls.Stainless steel? Corningware? Glass? Other? Sizes?
I have favorites for different uses. Glass for making scrambled eggs or pancake batter; the big stainless steel one for mixing hamburger and seasonings. And each type has its own characteristic sound, which contributes to their desirability for different uses and utensils.
But always, it has to be big enough! I just have to roll my eyes when people use a bowl that's too small for the job, and they get caught up in trying to keep it all in the bowl instead of thinking about the stuff they're mixing. (Don't tell my wife I said that.)

Brought it from Thailand in 1974. We make all our salads in it and add the dressing to it when we toss them all up. It has never met soap, just very hot water. It has, in it's 40 year life, attained a character and fitness for the task at hand that glass or any ceramic bowl can only dream of.
Ween I was a kid had a large wooden bowl with a set of smaller bowls to eat from and my dad used to make a big show of tossing and serving the salad at the dinner table. The bowl never saw soap until one day we moved and got a dish washer and my mom decided to wash the salad bowl in the machine rendering the bowl useless with a big crack in it. You would have thought we lost a family member, witch we kind of did.

after we wash the bowl and it has dried I rub a small amount of olive oil over it's insides.
FWIW, I did not install dish washers into the house when we built it. Not missed at all....
My grandparents had a dish washer.
But when the economy went south around 1930, they had to let her go.
Nyuk, nyuk.
In college, I worked at a steakhouse as a dish washer, which never made any sense to me, since all I did was to load the dishes into the dishwasher. I didn't actually wash them myself. Was I overpaid?
I renovated our kitchen two years ago and left a space for a dish washer that I haven't bought or installed yet and I keep thinking of turning into more cabinet space but in our small kitchen counter space is a premium so eventually I will install one and get the dish rack off the counter. BTW my dad use to wipe his salad bowl with olive oil too.
