I have used metal, glass and plastic all successfully. Of course the wooden tanoa is traditional. I find it helps to have one big enough so you don't splatter everywhere when you squeeze the bag or, heaven forbid, have grog spill out and lose it.

Used them all....my favorite is a large stainless steel bowl for kneading. Mostly because it is just the right size, has deep walls to keep splashing over to a minimum, and is real easy to clean. Kava does have a tendency to stain anything that is even a bit absorbent (like the strainer bags) so if you left it in a plastic bowl I wouldn't be surprised if it eventually stained it but I have not seen any issues with making up small batches and rinsing out after.

Nothing wrong with a metal bowl unless you're a dedicated rastafari keepin' it ital.

A good wooden bowl will absorb kava over time and build up a kavalicious patina, which is kind of fun.
