The metal mixing bowl made a lovely resounding ring when something touched it.
I tried to recreate the sound, and figured out how.
When the bowl is supported only on the bottom (like when balancing it on my hand), and its side is tapped, ta-da! RINGGGGGG!!!
It is a much lovelier sound than when I hold it lightly by its upper edge and tap the bottom, which is what I'd normally think to do.
I tested it out on a smaller metal bowl. It also gave a nice ring, though quieter and higher pitched.
I tested it on my pasta pot. The same kind of nice ring!
How can I have not known this before!
