Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Lock & Lock Storage 1 Gallon Large Pitcher
Customer Review: Fantastic pitcher!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased one of these as part of a bundle from another company. I wasn't quite sure whether or not I was going to like the pitcher, as I had actually bought the bundle for the bread box that I couldn't seem to find anywhere at the time. Needless to say, I use the pitcher more than I do the breadbox now! I've seen some negative reviews on this item, and I'd like to take a minute to address a couple of them.
As for the little sealing ring around the mouth, it WILL come loose if you wash it in the dishwasher. I know that L&L is supposed to be completely dishwasher and microwave safe, and it is, but the o-ring will become dislodged if washed in the dishwasher. Instead, I will wash the lid by hand, which only takes a few seconds, and then put the actual pitcher into the washer. I actually do this with ALL of my L&L lids because I am paranoid about the heat in the washer weakening the lid clasps. This may or may not be an issue, but I like to err on the side of caution. :O)
I've seen some complaints about the lid not seating properly on top of the pitcher. I used to have an issue with this when I was new to L&L. It seems like everyone is in a rush with the little things these days. I was upset about this same thing when I first began using L&L. I went online and did a little research and read about how to sit the lid on top of the container properly. It only takes a couple seconds more to make sure that the lid is on there right, then you should be able to lock the clasps with no issue. The same can be said for those that say that the clasps are breaking off of the lids prematurely. I have some pieces that are over a year old, and the clasps aren't at all weakened.
The footprint of these containers are fantastic. Instead of trying to shove a gallon of milk in my fridge, I always transfer it over into a L&L pitcher. I have two for tea, one sweetened and the other unsweetened. I also have one for juice and another for vitamin water. All of these fit easily on to one shelf and look very tidy. They don't even take up the entire shelf, which is nice. I also buy things like vitamin water in bulk. Since I can't seem to find a big jug of these, and having all of the bottles in my fridge takes up too much space, I will pour all of them into one container and simply recycle the bottles. If I need to go out, I just pour some into my water bottle and take off.
If you're someone like me that has a full fridge most of the time, these are great to have in place of the conventional pitchers. Just as you do with anything else that you buy, make sure that you protect your investment and take care of them. All of my L&L lids are stored flat and I've never had any issues.
I hope this is helpful! :O)
