My Newest Acquisition: Copper Mixing Bowl

WOOT!  It finally arrived.  The newest weapon in my arsenal of cooking equipment, dedicated to my waging of war against basic, bland and terrible food.  COPPER MIXING BOWL !!  Full of supreme fire power when fighting those nasty egg white beatings and such.  Now, to load it and put it to good use.  Maybe a nice lemon meringue pie?  We'll see, keep checking in and find out what terrible task this beautiful bowl has thrust upon it.

Copper bowl (from wikipedia)

Copper bowls have been used in France since the 18th century to stabilize egg foams. The copper in the bowl assists in creating a tighter bond in reactive sulfur items such as egg whites. The bond created is so tight that the sulfurs are prevented from reacting with any other material. A silver plated bowl will have the same result as the copper bowl or a pinch of powdered copper supplement from a health store used in a glass bowl will yield the same result as well. Drawbacks of the copper bowl include the expense of the bowl itself, as well as the fact that the bowls are difficult to keep clean. Copper contamination from the bowl is minimal, as a cup of foam will contain a tenth of one's daily normal intake level.
