Is this pitcher made of borosilicate glass?

The pitcher is glass and the lid and ice insert are plastic. I don't know what type of glass it is. It's thick and sturdy, hope that helps.

If I were to guess I would say no, it's probably made of soda-lime glass because it is cheaper to produce than borosilicate.

Yes the tank is made of glass. The base of the tank and the lid are made of plastic though.

No the pitcher and bowl are not glass. They are plastic but the plastic is a high quality plastic

Carol, that is a good question. I broke mine too, but I have been using a Tuperware type pitcher and it works pretty well.

I'm not sure what the pitchers with the newer iced tea makers are like but no, the plastic is not the old brittle kind that eventually ends up cracking. This is a totally different type of plastic. In fact, I plan on purchasing a 2nd one to replace my last brittle plastic one.

It's a very heavy duty plastic and it is the best pitcher I have ever owned.

The pitcher is glass and the lid and ice container are plastic. I removed the ice part and have never used it, the lid portion still fits into place without it and we found it unnecessary.

According to Takeya website the pitcher is made of high temperature acrylic which is probably the same material as "Plexiglass"

Absolutely. The little pitcher is glass, and it separates from the whisk. I usually warm my milk for 30 seconds. Works great.

I can't find anything imprinted on glass or black plastic. It may have had a sticker when it was new, but I don't remember if it was made in US or not. It's a good water pitcher.

I do not know if it is BPA free. It says on the bottom of the pitcher "for best results hand wash"

I found this pitcher in a Target store and it was marked as BPA-free. I have been using this make and model since mychildren were babies (now 22-28 yrs old) and have never had a problem except being stained with Kool-aid and tea or melted after being set on a hot stove or chewed on by the dog. It's reassuring to know that it's BPA-free!

They're glass, but I've bought two sets and both times the pitcher cracked over time. My glasses are still ok though.

No, but the pitcher is glass and very very heavy. Plus it sits deep enough in the well that i9is

The pitcher is made in China. It is a very high-quality piece, though, irrespective of where it was manufactured! The company is based in Canada and appears to only sell via wholesale channels. http://www.torretagus.com/

The pitcher is made from glass. The lid is supposed to be the kind of plastic that is not bad for you. Hope this helps.

This is a very well made pitcher. I haven't had any issues with it at all so far and we used it throughout the summer with no special care, other than to wash it in between uses. I'm planning on buying one for my mom for Christmas.
