Has anyone seen/tried this: KitchenAid's *Precise Heat Mixing Bowl* (for Lift Mixers)

[marilynfl]

It goes as low as 70 degrees...which means it can be used to temper chocolate. And it goes as high as 220...which means it can be used as a crockpot.

A bit too expensive for my needs, but I like the idea. I though up the same concept years ago, but it was a pot that went as high as "hard-ball" sugar" stage.

I was intrigued with this bowl & entered in2 a live chat with a Sur La Table rep to find out what

all (besides tempering which I hit on myself) one could do with it. She replied:
Yes, tempering chocolate; melting cheese, softening butter, soups, proofing bread dough... things like that!
Wigs back again--I'm not ready either to spend that much on one item that does things I already do with other appliances/tools. But it was interesting to see!
