Can you balance the infuser in an extra wide container using just the hooked handle portion?

It probably depends on the container in question, but it hooks onto the edge of my extra wide latte cup and stays secure even though the handle doesn't reach the other side.

The width of infuser is 5.25 inches. So anything less then that it should rest on.

If I understand your question correctly: if the mouth of the container (diameter) is wider than the distance between the hooked side and the end of the flat handle, then I don't think the infuser would stay in place (although perhaps you could use pliers to bend the hook further so that it clutches the rim of the container?). If the other side of the container's mouth will support the flat handle side, it's fine. I hope that helps!

I believe it would hang off the lip of the container but in a verticle position where as the tea would fall out unless u covered the opening with cheese cloth or something....it fits on a pretty wide cup as long as the straight handle has something to lay on too probably a container thats 4 3/4 " wide at the most to leave at least a 1/4" for the straight edge to lay on.

I have not used this bottle for infusing, but I don't think the nozzle sprayer has a large enough opening if you are using herbs in the oil.

I would say the glass is fairly thick. Thats a good thing for me. yes, the lid can be used w/o the infuser.

Yes, it is the same level of snug with or without the infuser. The infuser is secured to the middle of the lid.

Good question. It snaps into place when you fold or unfold it, so you can lift it out of the mug with one handle. Each side of the handle folds separately, and it stores nicely in the plastic container if you want to make a quick cup in the morning and bring the wet leaves to work with you for a second steeping. Although it is not as big as my other infuser, it works perfectly with my 20 oz mug, and even fits the smaller opening on my 24 oz tea pot. I love it.

It can be used without the infuser but I don't know if the lid will fit as well. Have not tried that.

Yes, you can. It does get a little warm though as it is stainless steel so you would need to be careful of the type of surface that you place it on. Otherwise, this is a great infuser; my all time favorite.

Hi Katie! The slotted infuser insert is 4 inches long, and one and 1/4 inches in diameter. It can be pushed up into the cap of the infuser, or I prefer to just let it sit in the bottom, as the fruit will continue flavoring the water when the water level gets low. I LOVE my infuser, have had it for quite a while now, and have found it to be VERY sturdy. I'm not gentle with my things, and this has proven itself to be rugged. I have it with me all day, every day. I know you wouldn't be disappointed with this purchase. Best Wishes, Ann

You could bend the handle but there are other tea infusers out there that already have that: Oggi Stainless Steel Tea Stick InfuserOriginal Teastick by Gamila Products

There are little openings in the bottom of the infuser which I think would allow loose tea to escape. I have only used tea bags.

The lid fits into the infuser. If you don't use the infuser you cannot use the lid.

Put it like this, the tea bag is already an infuser, so if you put a tea bag in this, it's like filtering something through twice. You could lose some flavor. How about you just open the tea bag and pour the contents into this infuser?

Yes. Just make sure the amount of water you pour in will cover all of the loose leaf tea in the infuser.

Yes - Leo.. you can do that.. Not a problem at all. It is a great tea pot but the infuser is a tad fragile

No it does not, there is 3/4 of an inch between the infuser and the pot when it's fully seated

A definite NO. This infuser was designed for use with a standard size, single-serving tea cup, coffee cup, or mug. It was not intended to brew a tea pot full of tea in one go.
