I'm not sure - that seems to be an American term, and the only pictures I could find would have made a ring cake, as they had a central funnel, but if they don't all have the funnel it would be similar. Pudding basins look like this (http://www.lakeland.co.uk/product.aspx/!3493_3496_3497) - or the more traditional look (http://www.lakeland.co.uk/product.aspx/!10671).

Any deep round dish would work - so that it is a good shape when you turn it out.

Interesting-- I've never seen anything like that first one! I actually own something like the second, though I call it a mixing bowl! :D It would probably work just fine!

The first set were useful because of the lids. I have a couple of pudding basins which are both pyrex - really good for making this as you can check that the juice has got all the way through.

To us a mixing bowl usually means a bigger one, although we would use the small ones for mixing small amounts. So a small mixing bowl is probably exactly the same thing, and would work perfectly. It is just to make it the right shape to turn out easily.

And a standard saucer just fits into the top of a bowl this size to put even weight onto the bread and fruit mixture - it doesn't work if you don't put enough weight on.
