Lock and Lock versions of Cake Taker and Fix n Mix bowl??

Barbarainnc — Thu, 08 Jan 2015 14:45:17 GMT

Is there a L and L Cake Taker?? My old TW cake holder was big enough to hold a cake or use it as a BIG mixing bowl. Multi-tasker!! It was clear with a white, speckled lid.

Someone called in last night and Chris said they would have a BIG Mixing bowl in June or July. My Mom had a green bowl/clear lid Fix n Mix.

Years ago, there was a cake holder. I think it had a handle, too. It is no longer in inventory.

I own the Lock n Lock cake taker mallemo has referenced. Mine is red and was ordered thru QVC.

What I do is use a large L&L bowl, using the seal as a platform with a couple of parchment rounds and the bowl as the dome. I also have a round cutting board that fits exactly in the seal so I put the parchment atop that, but it's not necessary.

Some time back they had this set that was called a 'salad set'. Now, I cannot imagine anybody might want to serve salad in plastic bowls, but I purchased it because I knew the bowls would be handy. It came with one really large bowl and four small bowls, each the same size. The large bowl in that set is the one I use for cakes. It perfectly fits a layer cake or a bundt cake.

Since I loved that large bowl so much I found it elsewhere and bought two or three more because I really do use it for a lot of things.

I should dig out my old Fix n Mix bowl to see if it's similar in size. I have a yellow one I must have purchased in the 70s in Europe. Probably the L&L bowl is smaller, though. But it's the larges L&L bowl I know of and I have pretty much every size and shape.

I went to their web site and found a Salad to Go Container that was 6.3qts/ 25 cups. It is model HSM950 Length is 11.2, Width 11.2, and Height is 8.3. It has a removable bowl insert and divider. It cost $37.99 plus s/h.

On QVC they had a smaller Salad to Go Container that was 17.5 cups, 6-1/4" height x 10" diam. Item number is K40851. It would be a tight squeeze for a 2 layer cake or Bundt Cake. It was $16.50 plus s/h.

The bowl I use is Lock & Lock # HSM948. It's a nice size bowl and not so 'roundy' like that one. In other words, the bottom of the bowl is basically flat. Also, the seal doesn't have a handle, so the inside of the seal is also nice and flat so you can lay a cake on it.

I hope all that makes sense. Anyway, they're not as easy to find as they once were. That's a shame. It's a great bowl. I'm glad I have a few of them at this point. I've also seen this size with a handle seal too, but I don't care for that, for how I use it, anyway.

I hope all that made sense.

I was just going to ask what the number was for the item. I'll go back to the site and look for it. I looked at it and it was $15.99 plus s/h.

At our camp I go to a lot of parties where I will take a cake and i use my biggest lock n lock bowl - put the cake on the inside of lid and then place the bowl over it and close it. Then I carry it to the party. The bowl is actually upside down - but it works well to transport a cake.

I just checked and a Fix n Mix bowl is 208 ounces. My largest flat-bottomed L&L bowl (HSM948 as mentioned above) is 169 ounces, so it's not terribly smaller. I hope it hasn't become obsolete. It's the perfect size for cakes and lots of other stuff.

All that said, I just remembered that during a little of Rick's show last night that I saw there was this one caller who asked about L&L making what she eluded to as a TW Fix n Mix sized bowl and Chris Pryme said stay tuned. IIRC, she said this June. So, I guess we'll see.

I have 2 Tupperware cake takers and wouldn't give them up for anything. Multi-taskers - you bet! I've made and taken more salads in those two things over the years I just don't know what I would have done without them.

It will be interesting to see what's added to the LNL line.

I just found the L&L HSM948 on the US L&L site. I'm so glad they have the original one!

I still have a couple of the TW pie takers. Those still come in handy for me each Thanksgiving. I prefer to use L&L, for its properties, but the so-called pie type containers they came out with were just not large enough for a regular pie. Then they had this one but it's humongous.

I also have the old TW cake containers but would be happy to add to my collection with a L & L version! I would also like to purchase L & L head lettuce containers (TW had one I continue to use every day!) to give as gifts. Someone also requested a butter L & L container. This would be useful, along with a cream cheese container. ALSO. . .how about a pie L & L container which would hold a TT pie plate. . .Lots to dream of. . .
