Can this be used without the infuser and is it made in China? Thank you!

No, unfortunately the lid only fits into the infuser so there won't be any heat insulation without the infuser. I'm not sure where it's made.

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

I don't know. Just checked the infuser and there is no stamp but it did make me appreciate again that it is nicely made and is of superior quality for an infuser. I did not keep the box.

I'm sorry, I don't know. I had the box in came in until I used it for another Christmas package this year so I didn't have a place to check where it was made. I'd recommend a different teapot anyway. I'm glad I got mine on sale and didn't pay the retail price at which I saw it listed. The knob on top melted when the pot overheated several months ago and this week, the know came completely off the lid.

Hi, It does not say where it is made on the item itself, and I no longer have the box. It is well made however, and has a black enamel interior. It's quite hefty, and the strainer is wide and large to keep the tea leaves from being too crowded. Hope that helps.

I have once, it held together without a problem. However, I have found that tea tastes better when you don't wash the infuser with soap [in the dishwasher or otherwise]. In addition, I imagine that it would start to show some wear after a few cycles in the dishwasher.

I've ordered one because this is made in Korea! If this wock were made from China, I wouldn't place order! Thanks for your answer.

Whoa--tough one. Perhaps a vinegar rinse? The infuser I purchased was Mr. Tea, and he did not have that strong plastic aroma, which I, too, would find offputting. Yikes. Hope this helps.

Hi. I'm not sure what country it was made from. I bought it for someone as a gift because they love drinking tea. Sorry I couldn't help.

No it is made in China. It is well made and we really like the teapot. Makes a good amount of tea and we have used it for some large tea parties.

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

The lid and infuser are separate, but the lid is designed to fit inside the infuser. Removing the infuser makes the lid loose fitting requiring a 2 hand pour

Hey Pat, this kettle is made in China. Source: looked at the bottom of the kettle. If it matters, I've never had a problem with this kettle and I would recommend it to my family and friends.Edit: I am an avid tea drinker. I would notice any weird taste in my water. I thought this might be relevant.

This particular pitcher does not have the infuser attached to it but other models do. This one is just showing the infuser ball that is floating inside of it. I purcased 2 of the balls and they work wonderfully in a pitcher I already had at home. They are big enough to hold a large amount of fruit and the water has a very nice enhanced fruit flavor. I hope this helps!

The one i received did come with an infuser, however, this exact product tends to be shipped with missing parts so it may not for some people.

I don't recall, could be made in China, however its pretty decent tea maker, I am happy with it after 6 months of usage, I have seen many different types/brands from Turkey, this would be the best you can ever buy in U.S. imo
