can you use this infuser in a tea pot? A 32 oz teapot?

it is wide enough to fit in a single cup, but depends on how wide the tea pot is

I think it would be a bit small for a 32 oz teapot. I use this for single (albeit large) mugs. That being said, it's an awesome stainless strainer, so I'd buy it anyway :)

AnsI had hoped yo use this in a teapot, also, but found it was much too small and didn't sit low enough into the pot. My solution now is using two pots. One to brew and after apprpriate brewing time, I por all of the tea into a serving teapot.

The capacity of the pot is not the issue. Measure the opening. I have one pot with an enormous opening, and it will not work for that one. All the others fit.

The holes at the base of the spout are appropriately small, though loose tea would probably go through them. The holes "are not pin hole" sized like you would see on an infuser. Stephanie in Virginia Beach

Filled to the brim with no infuser or tea in there I got 27 fl oz (800 mL) in there. I was even able to add another 1.5 ounces (to 850 mL) before anything came spilling out the spout. Filled to 27 fl oz or more, though, it would be difficult to pour without it spilling out out the top. With tea in there I will end up using this teapot for around 20 fl oz (600 mL) of tea.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

I don't think so but I can't be sure. I did not keep the this teapot and I also don't remember why. I found a fabulous tea pot at IKEA for $12.99 that has a metal infuser. It works great!

YES YOU CAN. But keep in mind it is stainless steel and will transmit heat through the cap. I would guess that 99 percent of the time this is not a concern.BTW for a two cup size infuser this is just about my favorite. Definitely when using loose chamomile due to al the tiny pieces this one is much easier to clean.

55 oz. sounds larger than the Standard "Brown Betty" tea pot we have. It seems to fit that one like a glove, larger I would doubt. Good luck!!!

I checked the infuser and it holds almost half a cup in it. It is very large for the size of the pot which holds 2.5 to 3 cups of liquid. I think you would be able to make very strong tea with it.

At least three pots of tea can be made from the HIC 3-inch Tea Infuser with loose tea. I live in China and the Chinese seem to be satisfied with the tea that is brewed.

The infuser is much smaller than a cup so I don't see the point of transporting it with the tea. The lid does screw in a little, but I not sure it's leakproof.

I didn't measure my infuser, but I am pretty sure it is less than 4 inches wide. You'd have to use a smaller mug, or just set the infuser in your large mug. As long as the infuser isn't completely submerged, I think it will still strain out the tea. I have never tried it with a large mug, though.

Hello, The pot we purchased was 18/10 and is very sturdy and has held up very well to use. We have enjoyed using it. However, it is not a pot for use in steeping a single cup. It takes about 24 ounces of water to cover the infuser well enough steep a pot of tea. If you are steeping tea for two or more it is great, but it would not work for a single cup. I hope this helps!

Yes. My experience has been that the lids from the different 64 oz pitchers will accept the different types of infusers.

Hello! You could fit some diced ginger in the tea infuser and use it the way they suggest. I'm fairly certain stainless steel and silicone can withstand heat just fine, but maybe you can find a better product for what you're looking to do. Something meant to be completely submerged. Hope this helped!

I have made tea with my 16oz pot, by simply making the tea stronger and adding to ice. It takes a little bit of experimenting to get the strength/ice mixture perfect, but Im a serious tea snob.I have also steeped the strong tea, released it into a cup after steeping, allowed to cool then poured over ice and water added to taste SO to answer your question, yes I suppose you could, BUT unless you are making more than a pitcher of ice tea, I would consider buying the 16oz. Either way, if you love tea and love simplicity....buy one of these!

I ditched the glass infuser long ago and use a stainless steel, classic 1 cup infuser from TEAVANA. No plugging of leaves and possibility of breaking. It's about 3 inches tall. I lucked out and bought a few on a clearance sale a couple of years ago. They don't have the same model anymore. The closest I can find on their site is the cool touch tea strainer. My older version is entirely made of stainless steel; no silicone top. Check it out in one of their stores and see if you think it will work for you.

I use a scant teaspoon of tea leaves for each cup I plan to drink. When I put in two teaspoons, after infusing the now wet leaves have expanded to fill about half of this infuser. You may want to consider using two separate one-gallon pots, brew tea in one pot and then transfer/strain into the other.
