Hi,I was wondering about the gauge of steel for this pitcher - is it really light or a little heavy? Thanks.

A little heavy, but not much. Convenient and bring lots of compliments. I like mine

Hi thereI don't know about steel gauge, however it's light enough to pick up when full easily for an adult but would need two hands for a child. The pitcher itself is pretty solid but not at all heavy when empty.

It;s a medium gauge, like 14 0r 16. The model by the same company with the long wooden handle and the short wooden helper handle (classic home wok) has a thick pad of steel on the bottom that holds heat very well (and that this pow wok lacks), and I highly recommend it over this all metal pow style wok (and it's cheaper too). I've owned and seasoned and worked with both, and the more classic wooden handle is a better wok with its heat retaining thicker padded bottom.

Absolutely, the reason is tempered borosilicate glass. I pour boiling hot water into it all the time - no problems. Yes it is thin and this helps keep the temperature differential down. I agree you should make sure the pitcher is at room temperature before shocking it with hot water.

The handle is not abnormally heavy. I really like the design and feel. If you do buy it make sure you really slam the handle into the blade. otherwise it will be wobbly.

Yes, that's almost all I ever use with this. I like it SO much better than my leaky Mr. Coffee. I just wish the pitcher seemed more sturdy. It's relatively thin glass and I'm worried about breaking it. Perhaps it's stronger than I think. All in all I'd recommend it and would buy it again.

It's sold off the roll, by the yard; so lineal. If you are using this for a marine application, may I suggest you go with 30 gauge? I used this on my boat, and while it is certainly more than heavy enough, it is NOT the same thickness as what I originally had on my boat. I compared it with others people's boats, and it's all just a bit heavier than this. The lighter gauge does have its advantages: In colder weather, it will stretch easier when you have to snap side-glass into place. Hope this helps.

I would say that it is steel as heavy as it isIt is steel constructed, good for topping off low tires and airing up basketballs oe footballs. Marginal if trying to air up an auto flat tire, depending on their size. I have several things I used it most on -- like the riding mower, wheel barrow, anything with baloon tires around the home.

It is good quality stainless steel. It is not really heavy, but it is well made and appropriate for the task. It is much better than Copco or other kettles that I have tried.

Pretty much like every other plastic pitcher. The handle is incorporated into the collar that screws onto the top of the pitcher. It's pretty stable. My one complaint us that the pitcher is tall and hard to fit on my refrigerator shelf. I suggested that the manufacturer might want to shorten the pitcher. Their response: lay the pitcher on its side. There's a space saving idea. Lol

I'm not sure how much it weighs, but it's not heavy. Of course when you fill it with water to generate the steam it becomes a little heavier, but it's fairly light as it's made mostly of plastic.

jorge did you buy chef secret 22 piece and you recieve a heavy gauge? i was going to buy nie but i want to make sure if i am getting the same or not. i saw a picture here saying 12 ply and surgical stainless steel so i assume that i am getting the same quality.

The blade is very solid and true carbon steel. However it's not full tang. It's pretty sturdy but I wouldn't wreck the piece. If it was full tang it'd be perfect. I'd still recommend this piece over others I did research for a few months before purchasing.

It appears to be heavy-gauge tubular steel, but suggest you contact company for more particulars. I found this email address on the AquaSense website: info@myaquasense.com I can tell you I wouldn't want to be whacked on the head with this. It's more than sturdy! Hope this helps.

It is very sturdy!! I have had a couple of them for over 15 years! The best pitcher I have ever had!

It is closer to at least 11-14 oz without placing on a scale. It is stout, seemingly heavy well built piece of metallic amalgam. Perhaps it is 18 oz and the description miscarried the decimal. Your suspicions are correct, it is not a light unit. For the price I was surprised of the solid construction.
