soft ayperth Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 The ones in my family weren't like that, hills. That one looks as though it really means business I immediately thought of these, http://www.eurocosm.com/Application/Products/Mason-Cash/mixing-bowls-1GB.asp . Very expensive these days though, no wonder they become family heirlooms! we have several of those. bought locally, i think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandem Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I've got one, and I still use it, it was my Mums, and before that it was my Granny's. They are great. I make fruit cake in it and make my Christmas cake in it at Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Womersle Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hi Hillsboro. My mother also had one we called it a pansion. Still have one in the gararge used to keep it in the celler in Sheffield. Len F. We had one as well - big as a dustbin lid. Pansion is the correct spelling too, but everyone pronounced it 'panshen'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandem Posted May 1, 2009 Share Posted May 1, 2009 We had one as well - big as a dustbin lid. Pansion is the correct spelling too, but everyone pronounced it 'panshen'. I beg to differ, the correct spelling is PANCHEON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
