can I fit my hand down inside the pitcher to clean it?
877733
I'm unable to squeeze my hand to clean the inside of the pitcher... the narrowest part of the pitcher's neck has a diameter of about 2 3/8 inches...I use a pair of cooking thongs and a sponge to scrub the inside of the pitcher.

My hand is 8 1/4 inches around at the widest and I can squeeze my hand in to clean.

Yes, I certainly can, although my hands are small. I don't believe my husband could, though. I just throw mine in the dishwasher and it seems to come out fine.

It can be done.Keep the cover on it stiffens the structure of the pitcher. Turn upside down, hold pitcher between your knees, use your thumbs to push/rotate the two tabs on the bottom counter clock wise and it'll open.

Inside the grip is part of clear plastic (continuation of the pitcher itself) and outside the grip is also white colored hard plastic (the continuation of the water reservoir part). When you removed the white reservoir part to clean the pitcher, the outer part of grip will come off from the rest due they are molded together as a piece.

If your pitcher will fit I c no reason why u couldn't use yours. It would have to fit though for the tea to not miss pitcher. This is a very nice product. I love the fact that it comes completely apart for cleaning

You can get your hand inside.However , it is a little bit hard to get it cleanYou can use a small scrub brush.Overall, i like the unit .For some reason, I am always getting water somewhere!!!

Better to pour. It would be unlikely an adult hand would fit through the lid opening. With the lid off, no problem.

Unfortunately no. I have to put the unit on the end of my cabinet and fill from the side with a pitcher.

That's a good question...I've never cleaned the inside. The lid is large enough that unless your hand is really large, you should be able to maneuver a cloth inside and use a standard dish soap if you needed to clean it. I suppose if you had a lot of buildup because of water quality, you could just soak with vinegar, then rinse, rinse, rinse. Or use any other calcium or lime cleaner made for metal. Hope this helps...

While it's not a huge wide mouth, your hand should fit inside. I wear a size L glove and my hand can fit.

The opening isn't large enough to get your hand inside. I just fill it about half full of vinager and swish it around to clean

It's actually not that easy or fast. The pitcher section is easy - it's just a pitcher. The part where you have to be careful is the head unit on top. You don't want water or steam to get inside. My recommendation is that once it's done "cooking," immediately remove the head unit (and never turn it upside down) and use the included metal lid on the machine if you want to keep it covered. Rinse the milky parts of the head unit immediately (again, without turning it upside down), and wipe it down carefully with a soapy sponge, rinse carefully and let it air-dry.

I have wide hands so I don't think my hands would fit, unless you have small hands than yes you could. You can squeeze a sponge thru, I got a long good grip bottle scrubber so I could clean the inside better. Good Luck! :)

Oh yes you can. I am doing it every time I take the cup out of dishwasher. "Use the force, Luke!"

The lid of this pitcher is attached with a very small, and in my opinion, inadequate joint. It broke (quite predictably) when I was washing the pitcher. I did not buy another one. So I would suggest stirring the contents with a large spoon. Shaking will possibly break the lid and the product is anyway by no means leak proof if you do! It's a shame that the joint is so fragile, or it would be a very good pitcher.

YES, unless you have a very large hand, I do exactly that from time to time. However if you use distilled water as we do, it seldom needs to be wiped out. We are very pleased with our unit, we use it most of the time and find it to be effective and inexpensive to use. I definitely recommend this product ... ALL Pro's and NO Con's

I don't use this pitcher, it's not only too thin, but it easily slips out of your hand and will break. Also the top is not adequate.

I have the 1 quartstop pitcher and the diameter measures about 2.5 inches. Your hand will not fit in the bottle. This is not an issue for me because we use it to hold raw goat milk and cleanliness is super important so I use a bottle brush and then I can be sure it is good and clean. Blessings <><
