Growing up, Pop would make Sunday pancakes in this specific bowl:

http://tinypic.com/fasyet.jpg

It predates me into the mid 50's.

We'd watch him make the batter, standing there watching his every move,
listening to his lecture about the finer points of pan prep, pancake
bubbles, testing, flipping, etc.

But it was that bowl that we waited for on Sundays. We'd loiter sleepy-
eyed around the kitchen waiting for him to open the cabinet and bring it
out. Then any shred of sleepiness vanished.

Did everyone have a magic pancake batter bowl they worshipped as we did?
I don't even remember if we were allowed to touch it.

The ceremony and fanfare was so wonderful. Pop turning glop into gold!

I don't have a photo... mom used an old (corningware?) red mixing bowl. She
had a nested set of three, the biggest was red, then green, then yellow. I
remember how upset she got when she dropped the red bowl on the floor and it
shattered. She'd had it for about 30 years.

Jill, I'll bet you're talking about the Pyrex colored bowls. My mom had
those, too, and that's what I think of when I'm looking for a bowl to mix
in. Yellow was always for cookie dough and the blue was for scrambled eggs.
Always, no exception. :~)

They looked like this, but I know there was a red one. Maybe it's just the
pic......

Were they like these?

I have 3 sets like these, my mom's in the primary colors, mine in the 1960s
colors, and a set I bought at a flea market. They are my favorite mixing
bowls, apart from the SS bowl of my KA mixer.

LOL! That's quite a coincidence. If you didn't know, the green was called
"Jadite". Actually, back in the decades prior to the 1970s, Fire King /
Anchor Hocking, was at least as popular if not more so than Pyrex.

In todays market, I really prefer the Fire King measuring cups over Pyrex.
I don't like the open handles on the Pyrex cups. Fire King has the old
closed loop style.

Wayne,

If it weren't for the "Good Topic" thread by JM, I'd never thought about it
but it rattled some marbles.

I pulled out the bowl and looked at the bottom stamp and found a website
about it.

Pop's pancake batter bowl was apparently one of a concecutively sized set,
which we didn't have from the best of my recollection.

Pop was far more proficient at outdoor bbq. There must've been some sort of
cooking arrangement between Mom and Pop, allowing Pop pancake chef's rights
on Sundays.

Andy, pull up eBay and search for "Fire King". You'll be amazed at all the
pieces of every description that are available.

I think some of the bowls like yours were available individually, but also
in varied size sets.

My dad did alright on the BBQ front. He regularly grilled pork chops,
steaks, and burgers, and they were all good. However, he made some
godawful concoctions in the kitchen! :-)

IIRC she never had a big yellow one. The biggest I recall was the red one.
I can't tell you the weight of it but it let her mix up a bowl of biscuit
batter for stew dumplings (does that help?) Then she had a smaller green
one and then a yellow one (not sure what - if anything - she ever used that
one for).

Sounds like the same ones, Jill. Lots of folks were missing one or another
of the set.

Pyrex and Fire-King rule the pancake world. My mom uses a 2 quart
pyrex measuring cup for pancakes.

Going for too much info pyrex primary color nesting bowls, the most
common set is largest to smallest, yellow, green, red, blue, but some
sets were in a different color configuration. Likewise refrigerator
dishes matched. Then there were sets that were all the same color,
Flamingo Pink, yellow, blue & red; I've never seen green but that
doesn't mean they aren't out there. In the 60s and 70s the colors
changed to the popular colors and more pieces were decorated with other
motifs as well. Pyrex also made "Cinderella" nesting bowls with handy
tab handles that doubled as pouring spouts, again with matching
refrigerator dishes in sets of 4.

Fire-King/Anchor Hocking was more popular because it was less expensive
that Pyrex. I have some old adverts for Fire-King's Jade-ite
dinnerware, service for four 19 cents. Delphite (blue) wasn't as
popluar as Jade-ite, less popular was pink. Some nesting bowl sets
were decorated with kichen utensils, polka-dots, tulips, fruits, the
list goes on. Fire -King certainly produced more pieces that Pyrex one
could match spice jars, mixing bowls, grease jars, cookie jars, table
ware, serving pieces, custard cups et cetera in most Fire-King lines.
