SC - Professional kitchen sized bowls?

I'm curious. My biggest mixing bowl looks to be about 18 inches in
diameter. What is your definition of "professional kitchen sized bowls"?

And when would you need bowls that size? I'm wondering if it would be
worthwhile keeping my eyes open for some.

I did cook some Cajun smothered corn for the holidays. The six cups of
corn seemed to fill up the skillet I started with, so I didn't put in
the additional cup that the recipe called for (was going to add all of 
a 2-cup package). Then I decided the skillet was too full and pulled out 
my largest skillet and put the corn in there. Then I realized that
skillet 
didn't have a top and the recipe called for cooking it for a long time 
covered. And the alluminum foil I had was narrower than the skillet was
wide. So back the corn went into the original (14 inch?) skillet. Sigh.

It turned out good though. Simple ingredients but lots of cooking required.
