Prodyne AP-23 Contours 2-3/4-Quart Acrylic Pitcher, Clear Review

Prodyne AP-23 Contours 2-3/4-Quart Acrylic Pitcher, Clear

I purchased two of these for a baby shower I was hosting. They were perfect and I'm glad to have them in my kitchen for any other parties I might throw.
Unfortunately, one of the pitchers had a small crack in an unnoticible spot (where the handle meets the bowl of the pitcher). I was understandably upset, but because I think it was a fluke and not a design flaw, I will re-order. I only suggest that you order this pitcher with enough time to spare so that if there is a crack you could return and re-order.

Prodyne Pearl Essence Pitcher with Lid Review

This is a very attractive pitcher so if you want something nice for entertaining it's a great choice. I was looking for a pitcher to keep water in my fridge. For this purpose its a poor choice and I returned it. The base is too narrow so it falls over in a swinging fridge door. Also it's too tall to keep on the top shelf with te milk. A problem common to this and all round pitchers is that it's difficult to keep the opening in the lid lined up with the spout. Again, this is fine for occaisional use but not a hassle I want everyday.

It works ok, just make sure you cut the ends off the lime/lemon before you use the slicer. Takes quite a bit of pressure to cut it, the plastic kinda flexes a little but it doesn't feel like its going to break. Its what you expect for 10 bucks. Would rate 3.5/5.

This was the absolute worst experience I have ever had!!! I love these jars so I ordered one for my mother in law for mother's day. When the jar arrived it was totally crooked!! The stand was crooked as well. I actually got out my measuring tape and it measured one full inch longer on one side. It was ridiculous!! I spent about 2 weeks trying to get them to respond to me so I could return or exchange the jar. They never did respond to me until I got paypal involved!! Then of course they responded and said that they would return the product if I promised not to leave bad remarks on their website. I packaged up the item and left it on my doorstep liked they asked me to do...I emailed Dean and let him know it was there....I have been emailing and leaving phone messages for about a month now and they still have not responded to me. I am not a difficult person to please. I have felt like their customer service has been horrible and I want to WARN everyone about throwing their money away...I am out 75 bucks...so I decided that I would go ahead and post as many comments on their site as I possibly can so that it reflexs badly on thier customer service!

Perhaps you've seen these in your favorite bar filled with all kinds of fresh fruit and vodka. The taste is really amazing. Produces nice, clean flavors. It is endless as to what you can make in these. Here are some ideas: Real Old Fashioned Lemonade, Strawberry Vodka, Olive Vodka, Jungle Juice, Pineapple Kiss, Melon Vodka, Spiced Pumpkin Vodka, Cran-Orange Spice Vodka, Tropical Fruit Vodka, Plum Vodka, Pear Vodka, Nectarine Vodka, Coconut Vodka, Herb Vodka, Raspberry Vodka, Lemon Vodka. This big, 408 oz. (That's over 3 gallons), handmade green tint jar is made of recycled glass in Italy. It measures 16 1/2" high with the lid on by 8" wide. At the base is a brass spout. Every jar will have its own individuality with mould marks (also known as creases) as well as occasional bubbles in the glass. These are not flaws but are authentications that the jar is handmade.

Takeya Fruit Infusion Jug, White/Raspberry, 66-Ounce Review

Takeya Fruit Infusion Jug, White/Raspberry, 66-Ounce
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While this pitcher is artistically pleasing, graceful and elegant, it is quite unfunctional. Contrary to the description, it does NOT fit in a refrigerator door (unless you have a giant commercial fridge!) It is much too tall to fit in a door rack or on a shelf, which means you can only use it lying flat - not a very good option because it takes up too much shelf space and is a spill hazard unless the lid is VERY firmly in place. I only chose this one because it is made from the "Safe" plastic, and was supposed to fit in the door. Also, it does not have a separate comatiner for your chopped fruits & veggies, so it really isn't an infusion pitcher like many others on the market. I'm disappointed in it, and would not recommend it for the purpose advertised.

This jug is designed to fit in the door of the fridge, or can be stored on its side with the lid on tight. Holds 66 ounces.

Prodyne Fruit Infusion 93-Ounce Natural Fruit Flavor Pitcher Review

Prodyne Fruit Infusion 93-Ounce Natural Fruit Flavor Pitcher
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I first saw this pitcher when I was looking for the same thing but with an ice core instead of the infusion core (which just happens to be made by the same company). I thought it was a great concept; and since I'm always looking for ways to add more water to my diet (without having to drink plain old ordinary water), I decided to give it a try. I was immediately hooked!
Here are a couple of things that I've observed:
Distilled water works best.
Depending upon what type of fruit you use in the core, it can take up to two days (or more) to get a really good infusion. Citrus fruits tend to take longer to infuse than berries.
It's a good idea to add water to it each time you pour yourself a glass. Two reasons: first, the newly added water will mix with the already-infused water and will take less time to become flavored. If you wait until the pitcher's mostly empty, it'll take a while to get a good infusion. Second, a smaller amount of "new" water will take less time to chill than if you were to add a whole bunch of new water.
And here's a hint: If you make your own lemonade (from scratch), try using orange-infused water to your lemon juice instead of plain, unflavored water. It adds a wonderful touch of "something" that you can't put your finger on (you KNOW there's something else in the lemonade, but you just can't figure out WHAT).
And, lastly, a suggestion: don't wait for berries to come into season! Just use frozen ones (strawberries, raspberries, mixed berries, etc.) Because they've been frozen, they tend to infuse better than fresh ones. I recently used half a package of frozen raspberries. As they thawed they immediately began to turn the water red and by the time they were completely thawed, I had a lovely shade of red raspberry water. Being a "sweetaholic", I add a packet of stevia (AKA Truvia, but I prefer the Whole Foods brand of stevia) to my raspberry water and it tastes like a healthier version of raspberry Kool-Aid!

Open slots in the rod allow its contents to naturally combine with the liquid in the pitcher. The rod screws into the lid, so it stays securely in place. The crystal-clear acrylic allows for an enticing view and allows the pitcher to look great on a well-set table.

Prodyne Acrylic Juice Jar Review

Prodyne Acrylic Juice Jar
Average Reviews:

These carafes are like artwork in the refrigerator. The acrylic jar is sturdy and easy to handle even when full.
Washing has not been a problem as long as the contents aren't allowed to dry (meaning rinse it out as soon as it becomes empty).
The worst part about this product is the lid. The flip-top lid does not stay open unless it's pushed all the way back. Then, when pouring, the contents splashes because there's no vent hole in the lid. Lastly, the shape of the lip on the lid causes a small, but very noticeable amount of liquid to remain on the lid, which unfortunately turns into a gross and crusty mess very quickly. I would recommend keeping a towel or rag near-by to wipe off the lid after each use.
Update - 3 months after purchase
I purchased several of these carafes and in just 3 months one has been discarded because it cracked on the bottom and began to leak, while all the others have developed cracks in the neck. I would strongly recommend against purchasing this product for refrigerated liquids.
It seems to be more well suited as a serving container that will be used for an event and then emptied before being stored.
