FAQs about Mason Cash Bakeware and Mixing Bowls
What size Mason Cash mixing bowl do I need for bread or cake?
The best Mason Cash mixing bowl size for bread is 29 cm or larger, giving dough room to rise and stretch without making a mess. For cake batter, a 24 cm bowl usually does the trick. These stoneware bowls are satisfyingly solid, so they stay put while you’re mixing. Their patterned sides help with grip, and the wide rims make pouring and holding steady work. If you're baking in batches, it’s worth upsizing. No one ever complained about too much cake.
Can I put Mason Cash mixing bowls in the oven or microwave?
Yes, Mason Cash mixing bowls are oven and microwave safe thanks to their tough stoneware build. Just avoid extreme temperature jumps - straight from freezer to oven is a no-no. They’re chip-resistant, but not indestructible (sadly). Dishwasher use is fine, though hand-washing helps preserve that glossy glaze. And whatever you do, don’t pop them on the hob. They prefer more civilised heat.
How do I properly care for and clean Mason Cash stoneware?
To keep your Mason Cash stoneware in tip-top shape, wash with warm soapy water and a soft sponge. It’s dishwasher-safe, but gentle hand-washing helps protect the glaze. Avoid anything scouring or scratchy. Sudden temperature changes - like putting a cold bowl in a hot oven - can cause cracking. Let bowls cool naturally before washing or refrigerating.

With a bit of TLC, they’ll easily last decades. Read how we choose tough-as-old-boots products in our Buy Me Once research process.
