Why Kiwi Bakers Choose Mason Cash
Built to last: Heavy earthenware construction provides stability when mixing heavy doughs and prevents slipping on the bench.
Smart design: The embossed pattern improves grip and the bowl shape makes mixing and pouring simpler.
Versatile use: Safe for oven, microwave, freezer and dishwasher — one bowl can do many jobs, from proving dough to serving.
Timeless style: Their classic look suits both modern and country kitchens, making them a popular gift choice too.
Choosing the Right Size
Pick a size that matches your cooking habits:
Small (prep): For whisking eggs, sauces and small tasks.
Medium (everyday): Ideal for cake batters, cookie dough and family baking.
Large (bread & batches): Best for kneading bread, mixing large batches, or entertaining.
Care & Longevity — Simple Tips
Wash in the dishwasher or by hand with mild detergent — the glazed surface resists stains and odours.
Avoid sudden temperature shocks (for example, very hot oven to cold water) to reduce stress on the glaze.
Store carefully to prevent knocks and chips — a soft cloth or paper between stacked bowls adds protection.
Perfect For Gifting
With a look that never goes out of style and practical everyday use, Mason Cash bowls are a thoughtful gift for new homes, weddings, or any baking enthusiast.

Frequently Asked Questions — Mason Cash (New Zealand)
What makes Mason Cash bowls special?
Mason Cash bowls combine sturdy earthenware with a time-tested embossed exterior that improves grip and handling. Their wide, stable base and gently curved rim make mixing, kneading and pouring easier — especially for heavier doughs. Many home bakers prefer them because they feel solid and reliable on the bench.
Are Mason Cash bowls microwave, oven, freezer and dishwasher safe?
Yes. Mason Cash mixing bowls are made for real kitchen use and are safe for the microwave, oven (within normal temperature limits), freezer and dishwasher. That versatility makes them very practical for everyday NZ cooking and baking routines.
What do the numbers on Mason Cash bowls mean?
The stamped numbers identify the bowl size (diameter/capacity) used historically in production. They help you match the bowl to your baking needs — choose a small size for prep work, a medium for everyday baking and a large size for bread or big batches.
Which Mason Cash bowl size should I buy?
Choose based on your usual baking: small bowls for eggs and sauces, medium for cakes and cookies, and large for bread or big batches. Many Kiwi kitchens keep one medium and one large for flexibility.
Are Mason Cash bowls heavy to use?
They are heavier than plastic bowls, which gives them excellent stability while mixing. The weight helps stop the bowl sliding during heavy kneading, and the embossed pattern plus rim shape makes them easy to hold. If you prefer lighter tools, choose a smaller size.
Do Mason Cash bowls chip easily?
Mason Cash bowls are made with a durable glazed finish that resists chipping in regular use. That said, like all ceramic ware they can chip if dropped or struck hard. Avoid sudden temperature shocks (hot to cold) and store carefully to prolong life.
Are your Mason Cash products genuine?
Yes — we supply authentic Mason Cash products sourced from trusted distributors. Each genuine bowl carries the classic embossed pattern and kiln marks that reflect Mason Cash’s long heritage in bakeware.
Can Mason Cash bowls be used for bread dough?
Absolutely. Their wide shape and sturdy weight make Mason Cash bowls ideal for mixing and kneading bread dough. The stability of the bowl helps you work the dough without the bowl moving across the bench.
Do Mason Cash bowls stain or absorb odours?
No. Mason Cash bowls use a smooth, non-porous glaze that resists staining and odour absorption. They clean well and maintain their neutral flavour profile even after repeated use.
Are Mason Cash bowls a good gift choice?
Yes — their timeless look and practical durability make Mason Cash bowls a popular gift for weddings, housewarmings and baking enthusiasts. They’re both beautiful and useful in the kitchen, which makes them an appreciated present in New Zealand homes.
