Question: How many people does the reviewer suggest it takes to assemble the cabinet?

This cabinet is very easy to assemble. It says "no tools", but I found it handy to have a rubber mallet for tapping pieces into place. It is a one-person job, no problem. Once assembled, this unit is pretty sturdy and looks to be very durable.I bought several of these to use in my barn, to keep my equipment and supplies out of the dust that inevitably accumulates. I am a bit disappointed that the front doors don't quite meet each other. There is a gap, up to about a quarter of inch. So these cabinets won't keep the contents as dust-free as if I stored them in stacked plastic bins. And they are definitely not rodent-proof! But they are much handier to use than a pile of plastic bins, so I am still happy with this solution.

Answer: It is a one-person job

It is a one-person job , no problem.

Question: Is this an expensive or inexpensive product?

This is one of those invetions I wish I had invented. Simple, durable, inexpensive and the best damn coffee you can brew with a very simple set up and easy clean up. We took it traveling and it takes up no space (fits in a shoe when you pack) and, along with an electric hot water boiler, we had the best coffee on the ship and before room service ever woke up. If you like your coffee and tired of breaking the glass French press unit, this is for you. In fact, I think the coffee it makes, if you follow the directions and pour the water slowly, makes much better coffee than a French press. You will need a finer ground or at least that is what we used same as for espresso. It might work with regular grind but you'd need to experiment.

Question: How were the items shipped?

I ordered 2 springforms and a metal gingerbread house mold together.I received them yesterday.Unfortunately, Amazon packed all of them together in the same box without any protection to separate them.From the scratches on the springforms,I could tell how much they bumped against each other during the delivery.(springforms were naked without any bag wrapped.)Maybe bumped against the gingerbread house mold, too!(Thinking of how heavy the mold was, and it was only wrapped in its thin plastic bag.)If the springforms are stainless steel pans, then scratches are ok.Since they're NONSTICK coated, it is very important to protect the nonstick coating!I ordered many times from Amazon before, very upset at what I saw this time.I have to say I'm very disappointed at how Amazon handled and packed my order this time!!!

Question: What brand do most cooking shows now use?

I bought this hunk of junk years ago and I can't believe it is still being sold! It is junk! I had a cheap oster years ago that did a better job. It locks up. It doesn't blend well. It is noisy. It leaks. It runs hot. It smells like burned rubber. It is useless with ice or frozen fruit. I actually have to open it and stir any thick liquids. And to top it all off, it is nearly impossible to pour anything out of it without spilling it everywhere. I bought this blender because I loved my Cuisinart food processor and the brand used to be known for quality and their products were always used on the cooking shows. Now all of the cooking shows seem to have switched to Kitchenaid and now I know why.

Question: What does the author consume frequently?

I eat a lot of tuna. This is why I bought this tool. It works very well, and drains all of the water from the fish before I make tuna salad sandwiches - which means NO water should remain. You can squeeze all of the water out easily, and the tool is easy to clean.The only reason I gave this 4 stars is because it is made of plastic. For so many years our family owned these and they were metallic. I think it would be much better if this were made from stainless steel or heavy duty aluminum. I still use it often. A good purchase.

Question: How much does the reviewer usually spend on a cup of coffee?

I love cold-filtered coffee. But I don't like purchasing a $3 cup every morning. This Hario Water Brew Coffee Pot generates a lovely cup of cold coffee. Yes, it takes A LOT of coffee (I use 22 tablespoons for each batch I make) but coffee that emerges tastes rich and strong, just how I prefer it. I let the coffee brew 24 hours on the countertop and the results are consistent. Clean up is easy too; I just use a strainer and pour the granules into the trash. I use this device every day; yes, it's that good.

Question: What does the writer avoid to use to prevent scratching of the wok?

Even with the great reviews, I was skeptical about using an electric wok. What a nice surprise! I am very pleased with this wok after using it several times. Meat gets a nice sear at the highest setting and veggies, rice, noodles, etc. cook nicely as well. I love that it's easy to clean and the optional steam vents on the lid are a nice addition. The finish is still perfect, although I cannot get myself to use metal utensils on it. It's just too gorgeous to risk scratching, even if it's supposed to be durable enough to handle it. I've been recommending this wok to my friends and family. I have no complaints.

Question: How well has the bed held up?

I purchased this Queen Size Platform Bed over a year ago and have taken it apart 3 times due to moving. As with any pressed board furniture quality can well suck. I have to say even after 3 moves, this bed has held up fairly well. It is by no means looking new anymore, and I may replace it in the near future, but I would imagine if the bed was not moved often and built well the first time, this platform bed would last for many years. The drawers on the bottom are nice for personal items. Overall I have enjoyed this bed, and would recommend due to its price and durability.

Question: Do the other negative reviews consist with your reviews?

This is a terrible product and honestly shouldn't even get 1 star. It doesn't stay together and will literately crumble if there's any weight on it, and sometimes even if it's moved. It's not put together with screws, bolts, or nails. It's just suppose to fit snugly together and stay up on it's own. It does NOT. All I wanted to put on it was some laundry soap, fabric softeners, and a little bin for lint and it won't even work for that. I wish I would have trusted all these negative reviews and just gone with something a little more expensive. Returning it tomorrow.

Question: How long does it take to brew a cup of coffee?

I purchased this after my daughter moved out. She likes K-cups, I like my own decaf brands of coffee. This way we can have both, kind of.It is very slow heating - takes four minutes for a cup of coffee. Not a problem, unless you want to brew two cups - with the two minute recommended wait, it takes ten minutes. So count this as strictly a single cup coffeemaker.I like the choice better than the Keurig - because you fill this with exactly the amount you have in your cup! No overflows, no problems. Pour it in, everything comes out.It has a nice small footprint and is perfect for me. But if all you want is a single cup, there are a lot out there that are cheaper and that will provide a single cup much faster. Only get this one if you need the extra features.

Question: When does it always seem that the can opener requires washing?

I got this can opener hoping to save money and space over an electric. For the first year or two this one worked perfectly, and I didn't at all miss having an electric opener. It did the job well and was comfortable on my hands. But I started having trouble after a couple of years, and at the 3 1/2 year mark, it needs to be replaced. It's getting a little rusty and hard to use; now I can open a can with some effort but have a lot of trouble prying it open again to take it off the can. I risk spilling the contents of the can. Also, the handles are coming a bit loose so that water seeps down into them, gets gross, and occasionally squishes out when I try to push them back in place.Granted, these issues may have been avoided if I didn't wash the can opener, or washed it much less often. But it seems to me a can opener needs to be washed when the juice from the can gets on the blade. (On the other hand, you can't throw an electric one in the dishwasher at all, which presents another issue.) So take your chances. If you're willing to handwash and meticulously dry, go without washing much, or know you just need an opener occasionally or for a couple years, this may be great for you.

Question: What does the reviewer think of the product?

I used the recipe (in the encluded book) for vanilla cupcakes but used lemon extract instead of vanilla. Makes enough batter for 3 batches of 7. Just perfect. I tried the final batch without paper cups and they work fine if you like a little more of a crispy outside. The tops didn't brown but they were totally cooked. No clean up to speak of. Didn't have to heat up an oven. Very nifty little gadget. BTW I bought one of the used/like new ones listed for a few $$ savings. Looks new to me but the box had been opened is all.

Question: Why was the reviewer happy to read the reviews?

I was glad I read the reviews before purchasing because several of them had tips for assembling the racks if you were doing it alone (it would work better with two people.) I had no problems assembling the first two and assembly time went down significantly on the second one. For the third rack, the connectors were already in the poles on two of them but were askew and I was assembling them in a new house with no tools. Even if I had had tools, I was leery of gripping the threads of the connector with a pliers to twist them out of the pole and possibly damaging them. I called the company and explained the problem and they sent me two replacement poles and two connectors. Later I was able to get the connectors out of the poles without damage using pliers so could have assembled the rack with the original parts, but I found a use for the extra pole and appreciate that Whitmor replaced the parts without charge.

Question: What do I spray in this

We recently broke our 8 inch glass Pyrex and decided maybe we'd try metal instead. We were at a local store and my wife grabbed an 8 inch pan off the shelf. I noticed it was made in China and put it back on the shelf. I then saw Chicago Metallic and grabbed one, only to find out it was also made in China. I went around to the other side of the isle and noticed USA Pans. I knew that they're the best and made in the U.S. because I have the Pullman Loaf pan. You could drive over this pan with your car and it probably wouldn't do much damage.....really. You get what you pay for. This pan works well. Just know that you still need to spray this pan or use oil, butter etc. It does an amazing job with the Cooks Illustrated Corn Bread recipe (the one with actual corn kernels in it).

Question: what did the writer feel when they first ordered this pan and it arrived?

This pan arrived and I was shocked - there were not enough words to described my disappointment. I didn't have time to reorder or go to the store and buy what I thought I was getting. I used them. I love this pan. It is small, but it controls the heat in the oven perfectly and bakes cookies like no other pan I have used. I won't use the full size again.

Question: They use the Breeze, even though they own a bigger what?

I bought the Dirt Devil Breeze years ago and it is still running. I have always liked it; it is pretty light-weight and handles easily. The cord is super long. So when Amazon offered the Breeze at a really good price, I grabbed this one as a second one in the house. One thing I like about it is the fact that it is bagless. We have a Black Lab and it is amazing the amount of dog hair it picks up that you see in the reservoir after running it. It is easy to empty. The tube snaps off the cleaner easily and you can dump the dirt right in the garbage can. There is really nothing I dislike about it. For the price, it is highly recommended. Although I have a bigger sweeper, I keep using the Breeze. It would be perfect for an apartment as it is a bit smaller than the full size cleaners yet not too small to be annoying. Also, it would be good for those who have a hard time pushing and pulling a cleaner around. The new Breeze features have changed a little but so far I have had no problems.

Answer: a bigger sweeper

I bought the Dirt Devil Breeze years ago and it is still running. I have always liked it; it is pretty light-weight and handles easily. The cord is super long. So when Amazon offered the Breeze at a really good price, I grabbed this one as a second one in the house. One thing I like about it is the fact that it is bagless. We have a Black Lab and it is amazing the amount of dog hair it picks up that you see in the reservoir after running it. It is easy to empty.

Question: What is the bottom half made of?

I purchased two of these after experiencing how long theThermos Stainless King SK1005MBTRI4 16-Ounce Leak-Proof Travel Mug, Midnight Bluekept my coffee hot. I can fill my mug with coffee at 7:30am and it'll still be warm enough to drink at 3pm.Pros:- Built-in collapsible metal spoon. No need to pack extra silverware. The spoon stays clean until use and a dirty/used spoon isn't bouncing around in my pack getting other things messy.- The top cap serves as a cup.- The indentation around the middle of the thermos makes it easy to hold onto while eating.- The rim is comfortable to drink from.- No nooks and crannies on the inside to make cleaning difficult.- The entire bottom half is stainless steel, so my food is not in constant contact with plastic.Cons:- Hand wash only in order to preserve the blue finish.Others reviewers state that the mouth is too narrow to use the spoon. I find that it is a similar width to other thermoses I've used, and I have no problems using the spoon to eat chunky soups directly from the thermos. No thermos is the width of a soup bowl, so all of them require a bit of tilting if you want to lift a spoonful of something out of them. See the additional picture I uploaded for a size comparison.

Question: Should you take the scale on the road?

I'm a culinary student and we have to have a scale. This one is great for stable use, but I don't recommend it for travel. The sensors are the 'feet' of the scale, so if I were to carry it in my knife bag, I expect it would break quickly. I leave it in my locker at school. It'll also be great at home when I'm done with school.

Question: What makes these so versatile?

I have just about every piece in this line and I love it..the pans all cook evenly and with less heat than any other cookware I've used. Keeping it shiny and beautiful is easy..just follow the instructions that come with it. A little bit of white vinegar after washing keeps it sparkling. I don't have a dishwasher and it's easy to clean. The ONLY drawback is that you have to use a towel of pot holder to lift the lid when they're on the stovetop because they get hot. I've recommended it to friends and they love it, too. You can go from stove to oventop. It's very versatile. Buy it! You can't beat this price.

Question: What color are the bod pillow protectors?

This review is for the green body pillow protectors. In the unlikely event that you're not familiar with body pillows, these pillows are about as long as an adult body, and provide support to the head and neck at the top and to the knees and legs lower down. Body pillows are especially useful in providing support for those who sleep on their sides and for pregnant women.The BlowOut Bedding pillow protectors are very nice. They're more soft and comfortable than I would have expected for 100% polyester. The hem-stitching is tight and uniform. My wife was impressed with the pillow protectors too, and she knows fabrics better than I do. (Her late father had a degree in textile engineering, and he felt compelled to pass on his knowledge of fabrics to her!) We washed the pillow protectors in cold water with a mild detergent, putting a white cotton towel in the washer to see if the color ran - it didn't. We tumble-dried the protectors in the dryer on medium heat with a fabric softener sheet, and they came out very soft and fluffy.We're both impressed with these pillow protectors.Note: On the label attached to the pillow protector, the washing directions appear to be for the pillow itself, not the pillow protector.A product sample was provided by the seller for review purposes.

Question: What brand is the product being reviewed?

Ok here is a review you can count on as I have been preparing fondue for many many years now and I thought I would give this make a try. BIG mistake at least for oil cooking such as beef and chicken. The Cuisinart heats quicker and cooks much better even though they are the same wattage. The Trudeau has a fork holder/splatter ring that is way too big and leaves little room for cooking even for just two people. Four people cooking would be a mess. It is better for cheese or chocolate compared to Cuisinart though as it has the insert bowl to keep the cheese or chocolate from sticking, and is easy to clean up. The Cuisinart is a MUCH better overall fondue pot and for a LOT less money, plus it is dishwasher safe. The Cuisinart also has a non stick coating (great for oil cooking but not cheese) which is awesome. The only problem with the Cuisinart is the absence of an inner bowl insert for cheese and chocolate. The Trudeau is way overpriced for what you get. Think twice on this one.

Question: Does the pan come with any accessories?

I bought this as a gift for my mother, so I can't review how this pan is in use. We are pretty picky about what we use in the kitchen, though, so I will say that this pan looks and feels like it will get the job done. With any pan this size, weight and balance can be a huge issue, especially for someone older or who has arthritis or other issues. The handle is solid, and a decent size... not so small that you can't get a good grip, but not bulky. The balance seems good, and it is lightweight for a pan this size, even with the tempered glass lid. The interior is smooth and consistent. I didn't see any areas that looked like the finish might be uneven or weak, inside or out. Of course, the true test will be when Mom puts it to use, but if it cooks as good as it looks, I may order another to put away until my current pan has to be replaced.

Question: What sound level is the kettle?

We've had this kettle for a few years now and we are ready for a divorce. The kettle has always been very loud when operating. As it aged the lever under the handle which turns on the kettle switches itself off during operation. I suppose this is due to the vibrations caused by the water moving around in the kettle. When it does manage to stay on for the whole boil it is also slow to turn off. Sometimes it is more than a minute after it boils that it decides to turn off. It is a beautiful kettle and well made but, its function is less than desirable.

Question: Where was the fryer stored in the purchaser's home?

When I first opened the box with this "fryer" inside, I was a littleintimidated! The round, ball-like control panel looked bulky anddifficult to handle. In reality, the ease of operation was quitegood. So far, I have "fried" chicken that came out great - crispyon the outside and moist on the inside. I also used this cooker tomake "fried" potatoes. Again, I experienced very good results. Atthis time, I definitely recommend this procut. I gave it 4 out of 5stars only because it is bulky to store. I have yet to find a placefor it in my kitchen, so it is currently in my storage room.

Question: What is the best part?

We have had this for about 6 months. Makes fantastic crispy pizza. The clean up is the best part with this. It's one piece and everything washes off easily (event the super melted cheese). When you cut pizza on it using a pizza cutter it doesn't hurt the finish at all. We love this thing.We got an All-Clad about the same time (generous present) and like it as well. The Emile Henry wins, however, because (a) easier clean up (b) light weight and (c) no scratches when you use a pizza slicer. On the all-clad you leave a mark on the soapstone every time you cut.If we ever get another stone it will be this one. Great product!

Question: What happens after the sifter starts for a while?

I do not like this sifter at all because it starts out sifting while using the spring action handle and then it stops sifting after a few pulls and you end up having to shake the sifter to get the flour out. Now I see why it's up as a clearance item. Don't waste your money if you are buying it for its intended purpose. You might get by with doing a cup, but no way will it do more without shaking it and hitting it against your other hand. This one was a let down. I ended up ordering the hand cranking kind because I know they work pretty good.

Question: What is decorating the bag?

I have been through a couple of bags and a couple of rolls. I don;t like any of them.This thing? Amazing!Sure I would make a few of the pockets more varied, but then if they did I would probably want more of the same. I think they probably know better and have done a great job.An improvement could be some way to secure larger knives. My sashimi knife and my cleaver are too dangerous when stored in this bag. They are top heavy and tthere is no securing that.The component section of the bag is great! I would like some method of separating my instruments when storing two or three in a zippered pocket. But they still work great!Construction blows away any other product that I have tried. I don't care for the overly embroidered logo on my bag. I could have done with a patch (that I would have removed). Big embroidery weakens the fabric and destroys that piece for any other purpose.

Question: What is the reviewers main concern when washing the prodyct?

I honestly don't know what all the fuss is about with this product. I'm a total kitchen gadget junkie and so I was delighted when I received this for Christmas. Yes, it's more ergonomic to hold and it's a little easier for me to slice up small bits of pizza for my toddler, but it's not *all that*. The problem is the thing is so irritating to wash that I find myself just reaching for my regular pizza cutter instead of this one. Basically you have to take it out of its plastic case to wash it which can be rather tricky. I keep worrying I'm going to slice myself with the blade. Even putting it back together after it's clean is a bit nerve racking. Frankly all this business of taking it apart and putting it together sort of nullifies the ergonomic aspect of it for me.I'd say if you already have a pizza cutter that you're happy with you don't need to bother with this thing.

Question: What kind of bottom does the product have?

This paper towel holder is perfect and works exactly how you've always wanted your paper towel holders to work. The spring loaded arm provides just enough tension to allow you to rip off a sheet with one hand while not providing so much force that it is tough for the roll to rotate. The weighted bottom also helps -- no more tipping over the paper towel holder while trying to rip off a sheet. The height of the holder is also shorter than other holders I've used, allowing it to easily fit underneath my upper cabinets.

Answer: weighted

Question: What is the cookware brand name?

Swiss Diamond is my very favorite cookware. I would have the whole collection if I could afford it. I bought this saucepan to replace a different brand the same size, 2.5 qts. I was disappointed to find that the tapered sides make it too small for any burner location on my Corning stove top. I could use it, even though there is a good amount of "red" showing around the pan bottom when the heating element is turned on, but this is not recommended by the stove manufacturer. I guess it didn't click in when I saw the photo, that the sides were slanted instead of straight like my older pan. I can still use this in the oven, as they work great for that, but may just end up giving it to a relative with appropriate size stove burners.

Question: What tool was used to clean the pot?

Ten stars would not be enough praise for this cooking pot. I have had a lot of cookware. Expensive no stick that was absolutely useless. This is amazing. I wasn't sure about seasoning this pan but I asked here on Amazon and Pam said she just sprayed with a little Pam. She was right. I seared a pot roast, removed it ,deglazed with wine,softened some onions and garlic put it back in with some mushroom soup and put the lid on. The recipe was for 3 and a half hours. The roast (lid on) took a little over 2 hours and was fork tender. Cleaning was as simple as a sponge with a little Dawn. Wow. I've never had a pot that cleans this easily and cooks this fast. I will get the 5 1/2 qt next month and I'm looking at the saucier pan. I love the colors. This will never go in the dishwasher. I will always hand wash this which is not my usual move.(nails and all). It's a cooking pot of a lifetime and a gift of quality.

Question: How should the product be washed?

I have this rice cooker for about a year now, and I simply love it! The rice cooker can cook enough rice for 4 people at once, which is enough for a single gal like me.It does a pretty good job of keeping the rice warm, also. I can cook a batch of rice for both lunch and dinner.what I really like is the timer - which allows me to wake up to a hot pot of thick soup of rice in the morning.The interior pot is non-stick, but I would recommand you to take care it and wash it by hand. The dish-washer can be kind of harsh for it.I can't believe that Amazon is offering this product. Ususally, you can only purchase it in China town. I have to ask my mother to bring one for me from the other side of the earth!

Question: What does the reviewer think should be larger?

I have this floormate although I didn't purchase it through amazon. In my case it is a good product because with two dogs my floors get heavy traffic/petstains/hair/dirt tracking. I was previously using a rag mop which takes a lot of exertion and dreading on my part. This unit seems to pick up a lot of filth that mopping alone doesnt do as even when my floors looked clean the bin was filled with dirty water. If I could change some things I would have them lower the brushes a little, it doesn't always get the grout especiially the first time around, my solution for this is to spray cleaner onto the floor before to loosen up dirt and get everything wet before using the machine. I think that the bins should also be larger for both the solution dispenser and the dirty water collector, often times I haven't even finished one room before I have to refill the solution. I would also love it if the unit could scrub and vacuum the liquid seperately instead of at the same time. If you don't have pets and clean your floors regularly a simple spray mop would probably be more convenient or you might want to purchase something like this just to make sure that you truly wash away all the dirt every now and then.

Question: The reviewer was looking for a trash can made of what material?

I didn't buy this trash can because of the hands-free feature but it is really nice to have a kitchen trash can that is closed tightly and opens with a wave of your hand. I have limited counter space in my apartment so it is a plus to be able to easily trash peelings, packaging etc while I am cooking. You can open the lid, turn off the unit and the lid will stay open until you switch it back on. This can also has a bag holder that fits inside the can and keeps the bag inside. I was searching for a foot lever opener but couldn't find one that was the size and shape I wanted in stainless steel, this one fits the bill. If you have small children who might find it fun to open and close it continously it has an on-off switch on the back.Update Oct. 31, 2011OK, it's been 2 years and I've changed the batteries once. About a year ago the small rod that holds the lid on the top fell out. I put it back together but now the lid will not stay open by itself, makes me think there was another piece that fell into the trash can that I didn't know about. Hmmm.....wonder if that was the little spring that I found on the floor....Oh well...it still opens when I wave my hand over it and I can deal with the rest of it.

Question: How heavy is the item?

This little beauty does every thing I need. Like other reviewers I don't try to cook a 5 course dinner in it. I'm happy to have it thaw, reheat, warm up, and brew. Baked spuds come out great in same time a big oven would take. It's really cute and takes up very little space. Put index finger against front and thumb under door handle and door opens easily without dragging it across cabinet. I like that it's light weight. I can move it and clean under it without waiting until I have help to do it. Can't say about durability as I haven't had for long but so far so good.

Answer: it's light weight

Question: What happens once the pads get wet?

I bought this, my first experience with steam mops, based on the positive reviews here, and I am honestly on-the-fence about my purchase satisfaction. My primary use is for the tile in my kitchen (and possibly for two bathrooms). It only takes about five minutes for the unit to get hot enough to produce steam, which is nice. And the steam gets hot enough to make the floor tiles hot if you leave it in place for a minute, which is good for getting off the stuck-on messes associated with kitchen spills. The unit steams and cleans well when the pads are dry/first used, but once the pads get wet from the steam, which is only after about 10 minutes of cleaning, then it's water water everywhere! I think I am going to look into buying extra pads. The unit comes with two, which I swap out mid-clean, but I need more than that just to cover my 14x14 kitchen floor without leaving the tiles soaking wet from a wet pad, and then having to go over them with an old towel. I was hoping I could steam a larger area without the watery mess, hence only three stars in my review.

Question: What is the quality of the photos?

I got this kit because I really wanted to make Mozzarella and then make Ricotta with the leftover whey. Well, the recipe and products in this kit don't allow for making Ricotta from the whey. You have to use more milk if you want the ricotta. So I am still stuck with all of this leftover whey. The next problem is the instructions are not very clear and the photos are pretty poor. The "dairy" thermometer they include looks more like a $.99 thermometer you'd take your baby's temperature with, not a dial thermometer. I am so upset that I wasted an entire gallon of fresh milk that did not turn into Mozzarella, in spite of my attempts to follow the instructions provided. I'll try again tonight using instructions I found on-line.

Question: What type of cat does not go well with new off-white carpeting?

New off-white carpeting and a sick cat do not make good combos. Tired of hand scrubbing the carpet w/mixed results we opted to try the SpotBot. We are *thrilled* with it.Solidly made product. Easy to set-up. Simple to use. Fortunately have not had to use the deep stain setting - but the 3 minute cycle setting cleaned up all the messes in said time. The set it and forget it way is great when you have other things to do and the beeping upon completion won't allow really forget it.There is also the more manual process w/a hose for stains that don't fit into the circumference of the auto-brushes. That worked well too.Why only 4 stars? I don't have longevity w/the product - and hopefully it won't be used daily, but so far so good.

Question: Which temperature teas are preferrable?

I don’t think I am using this exactly for what it was intended for, but it works great, sooo … basically, while I’m not a big “fruit and water” guy I do love cold tea, especially during the summertime. Cold green tea. Cold barley tea. Cold oolong tea. Yum! Making them isn’t much of a challenge. You just pour hot water over the tea bags, then let it chill down in the fridge.I never thought of getting a dedicated pitcher for my cold tea, but then this pitcher came along. It works great! I just put the tea bags in the central pillar, then fill it up with water as usual. I thought this pitcher was going to be too big for my fridge, but it slides right onto the door shelf at the bottom, while still holding considerable volume.No idea how well it works for making fruit-infused water, but it works great for cold tea! And I am tempted to try the sangria idea. That sounds great!
