I used to do that with pennies when I was a kid. Sure, I'd clean the
bowl before beating egg whites but that got old very fast. I can see
using a copper bowl if I beat eggs manually but with a electric mixer,
I don't see any reason to use copper bowls except maybe to brag about
being able to use copper bowls. I also don't like the idea of copper
compounds in my food.
