What the stainless steel washing up bowl is
Elephant Box started in 2015 with a steel lunchbox, and the washing up bowl applies the same idea to the sink. It replaces a plastic bowl that stains, cracks and gets binned with one steel bowl meant to last.
The rim is folded flat, so it is smooth to hold when you lift the bowl to tip the water out. Elephant Box calls it "the UK's best-loved washing up bowl", and it has 938 reviews on the Elephant Box site.

How to get 20% off the washing up bowl
- Open Elephant Box through the referral button on this page.
- Add the bowl, plus anything else you need, to your basket.
- Make sure the order comes to more than £50 before the discount.
- Check out as a new customer, and the 20% comes off your first order.
The steel bowl alone is £43.50, so it needs a little more in the basket. For example, adding Elephant Box's wooden dish drainer at £16.50 brings the order to £60, which drops to £48 with 20% off.
Who the stainless steel washing up bowl suits
It suits anyone tired of replacing plastic bowls, and people setting up a new kitchen. Because the steel does not stain or crack, it also suits households that wash up greasy pans every day.
It also makes a practical housewarming present. For more ideas, see our best housewarming gifts guide.
The limits
Steel is louder than plastic, so expect some clatter when you drop in cutlery and pans.
In ceramic, enamel or Belfast sinks, Elephant Box says to put a mat underneath to avoid marks. The plain steel can also turn dull over time, though hot soapy water keeps it clean.
At £43.50, it costs far more than a plastic bowl from a supermarket. Also, the 20% referral offer only covers new customers and a first order over £50.
Where to buy it in the UK
Elephant Box sells both colours direct, which is where the referral discount works. The company became a Certified B Corporation in 2025, and it has given 1% of annual sales to environmental groups as a 1% for the Planet member since 2019.
