It is silicone & sturdy.A knife might puncture it if you tried hard, but I wouldn't think a fork would.I love these bowls. They are very sturdy.I've had mine for quite some time & they are still like new.I use them when we travel and at times it will be a month or more of straight use.

the bottom is silicone and is pretty thick and sturdy...I think it would take some good force and a blade to pierce it. You probably COULD puncture it with a fork if you tried hard enough and that was the outcome you were going for. If you were using a fork in regular ways, I can't see it happening. This is intended to be a travel water bowl for pets if I remember correctly, although I guess you could use it otherwise.

The material, I hate to call it plastic, I think it is most likely acrylic. It is firm and has the measurement on the inside that is easy to read. The weight of the bowl is perhaps 1 lb or close to it. The bottom is weighted and could be a little wider. If it is all liquid in the bowl it could possibly tip, however treason is the bowl is totally curved and no corners or creases which makes it easy to blend all the ingredient and not have any pockets of dry indigence. Hope this helps. It is the best bowl I have ever seen!

Hi, I use just a plastic bowl, works perfectly fine with it.you can use a metal one as well.

It's made of a flexible rubberized plastic. Reminds me of the collapasable bowls you can use in the kitchen. It fits on the bottom great and cleans up easy. I definitely recommend it over the plastic bags.

My wife uses this product regularly. Looking at it, the lower portion of the blender (the part that comes in contact is steel (stainless, it would appear) except for the outer circumference of the rim which has a molded plastic edge piece where it would come into contact with a bowl or glass during blending. The chopping bowl is plastic and has the recycling triangle on the bottom that says "7" and "SAN" and has a picture of a fork on it -perhaps indicating that it is "safe".

It's a bendable plastic, it's not silicone. Worth every penny. I love it. Easy to store and clean.

The bottom inside plate is metal, and everything else is plastic. Great little boiler pot!

Is this bowl thick enough to cook candy in? I have been using a copper jam pot, but I want something rounded.

It's plastic. So different from other mixes, there is no sediment in the bottom.

It can be removed. Also be careful with kids around it. The bowl just sits in a ring over the legs. It could easily be knocked over.

The bottom of the bowl of the spoon is round. I saw one of the replies said "flat" which I'm wondering if they meant the handle of the spoon (which is flat).

Nothing that's really structural. The flour guide is plastic and very helpful to keep flour in the bowl and not make a mess. Other than that just the black handle on the end of the arm and I think the head of the twist part of the clamp are plastic. Everything else is metal and wicked easy to clean. We love this thing.

It's not really curved, there is a very thin ridge around the bowl. I think more for the purpose of making it smooth rather than sharp on the edge of the bowl.

Hi Judith, The bowl is magnetic, that means it is not solid copper. However, if is was it would need to be thicker to prevent dents and a lot more expensive.

That is correct. I use a plastic fork with all but two tines broken off. The tool is kind of expensive.

Hi. It looks to be all one piece. I've broken several trifle bowls & this is the sturdiest I've had yet. Which isn't saying much because their design makes them inherently delicate.

I'd really have some safety concerns about doing, the outward pressure may cause the bowl to crack and then come off. You might get away with it if you use the tailstock as suggested and at only very low speeds.
