Bowl and Bowl

Question

What's the difference between bowl you use for preparing a meal and a bowl you use for eating.

Mexican vs. Spanish word for Bowl. Cuenco o bol?

Answer 1

I'd use "recipiente" for a large bowl that I use to mix things, prepare a meal, etc.

I'd use "tazón" for a bowl that I use to eat cereal, soup, etc.
