There are copper bowl inserts available for the KA stand mixer. I get such
great results just using the SS bowl and whisk that I can't see buying the
copper insert. As I said, I put the whites and cream of tartar (or lemon
juice or vinegar) in the bowl, set it over the flame, and whisk like mad
until a soft foam has formed and the eggs are very warm. I move the bowl to
the mixer, turn it to medium high, and start adding the sugar. A stiff foam
forms in a couple of minutes.
