Review on ๐Ÿถ Functional and Stylish Luminarc Quadro 1.7-Liter (57 1/4-Ounce) Pitcher: A Must-Have for Every Occasion by Mike Larkin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well made - almost perfect size.

Before I get into the review, I just want to clear up an apparent confusion: the container (glass) is made in France, while the lid (plastic) is made in China. . There's nothing unusual about that. I used to have an old standard 64-ounce pitcher for my wife's iced tea, but it took up too much fridge space and was too heavy when full for her to pour easily. She likes it since the jar is lighter and the overall weight is less since it holds about 8 ounces less liquid. It just means I have to make her some iced tea a little earlier than before. The rectangular shape also allows me to store 2 of these in about the same spot as an old 64oz pitcher. As for the lid; It's really just meant to hold ice and pieces of fruit while pouring. It was never designed to be leak proof. If necessary, look for a container with a twist-on lid. The 60ยฐC limit simply means that the plastic will melt if it gets too hot. Not a problem for me as I don't plan to cook in it. There was a warning on the bottle not to change the temperature by more than 140ยฐC, so don't pour boiling water in if you've just pulled it out. Freezer. The difference between room temperature and boiling is about 75-80ยฐ, so boiling water will not harm it under normal use. I have 2 and am thinking of buying a 3rd for milk storage so my wife can water more easily.

Pros
