I´ve been so many times at Ikea, I never recognized the mug. Is it a real mug or only misused as a mug?:biggrin: The next time at Ikea I´ll take a look at it.:w00t:

The excellent heat retention capability is due to the fact that is has a dual layer side, making it a "bowl within a bowl". In a German forum I found a modification that turns it into a scuttle. Just drill a hole into the outer layer and then you can fill hot water into the space between the layers. Here is a picture:

The bowl in the German website seems to be a different bowl. It's called the 365+ Plocka. I just got it today. The bowl in this review is a diifferent one from the 365+ series and it's not dual layered.


I have just broken a bowl Ikea :)mad:), and I can say that isn't double layer.

The bowl of the image probably refers to the model 365+ Ploka that has the wall about 2 cm thick, and therefore could be double-layer-

i'm thinking of heading to ikea to check out their bowl selection. they've got a few that would make great scuttles
I find mine to be very easy to use and it retains heat fairly well. Also, it holds all of the lather necessary for three passes without overflowing. Definitely recommend for another newbie like me.

Thanks for this! I am off to Ikea tomorrow for a look-see.

Somebody else suggested a second hole for easier water flow. I haven't done this and from what I understand you need a diamond drill bit or some other tough material for drilling porcelain. Somebody compared it to drilling tile. It's some effort but if you have access to the tools it's probably the most affordable way to getting a scuttle.
At Ikea I found the ‘IKEA 365+’ bowl, easliy one of the cheapest and best bowls around for bowl lathering. Below I have written a short review that covers all aspects of this great bowl.

Material: Feldspar porcelain. Unlike regular stoneware, the porcelain makes this cheap bowl just a bit more luxurious. More important is the fact that the porcelain retains the heat very well. Even after I had removed the bowl from the sink of hot water for five minutes, it still retained a little heat. The glazed porcelain provides a smooth ‘swirling action’.

Dimensions: 16 cm in diameter and 8 cm in height (6”d 3”h). The height makes sure that the lather doesn’t spill over. The diameter creates the space needed for swirling the brush around without hitting the ‘wall’. There is more than enough space for even the largest of brushes.

Weight: Because of the relatively large size of this bowl, it is also relatively heavy which is a good thing since this makes sure it won’t start floating around your sink so easily. Your sink needs to be filled with quite a lot of water in order to make the bowl float.

Color: The color of this bowl is beige. It provides enough contrast with the lather so you can easily see what you’re doing. I believe it is also available in black or white but I just happened to like the beige color better.

Price: €2,99 in The Netherlands. This bowl is so cheap that you can buy a few more as back up in case one slips out of your hands.

Misc.: Made in Turkey for Ikea and designed by Susan Pryke. This bowl is part of Ikea’s 365+ tableware series and also available in the USA.
