How do we use the muddler? We have a Boston Shaker

A muddle is used to bruise things like mint leaves to release the oils. When I make a Mojito, I place a small amount of ice in glass, add the mint, and then use the muddled to bruise/mash the mint leaves. Then add remaining ingredients to complete cocktail.

A muddler is for smashing ingredients... Sugar cubes, mint... For drinks. A must for mint juleps, mojitos, etc.

You use it to crush fresh ingredients like mint or berries in the bottom before adding your liquids.

No you can't. In fact you need to use both hands when pouring, one to hold the handle the other to push down the lever for the water to pour out.

I would not muddle. The beauty of the glass is that it is narrow, tall, and square. Drinks are very appealing in the glass. Muddle in a broader vessel.

The shaker has no markings on it . Neither does it say Libbey on it. I am not sure if it is Libbey itself. So cannot be sure of its origin either. BUT it is a good product though to use .

That's the best thing about this shaker. Most shakers, when they're cold, just after use, you can't pry them apart. This one just unscrews, easily.

I emailed Fletchers' Mill to ask the same thing before I bought it. Here was their answer:Our muddlers are untreated/unfinished. You could season it with mineral oil from time to time if you want but we don't do anything to it. It is raw maple that has been kiln dried to prevent cracking or warping.

No I never did. I out mine in the dish washer and it ages like any used wooden spoon which in my opinion makes it better. It is a little big so have a large cocktail shaker in metal or you will hate it. If large it works nice.

Use a magic bullet or hand shaker. It's easy to mix. Very smooth not clumpy

I've never tried this, so I did a "shake test" for you. Using the 1/2 gallon pitcher (I think the 1 gallon would be rather heavy to shake) I filled it 1/2 way with water, put the lid back on, and made sure the pour cap was securely in the closed position. First I shook it vigorously in an upright position. No problem - the lid stayed tight and the cap didn't open. Next I turned it upside down without shaking - there was a very slight drip from around the cap. Then I shook it as if I were mixing the contents while it was upside down, and there were only a few drips from around the cap. Forgot to test while shaking side to side. My recommendation would be to put a folded paper towel or cloth over the lid/cap while shaking and put one hand there. I don't think the lid will come off or the cap fly open, but better to be safe than sorry. I should note that my pitchers were purchased several years ago; I can't speak for the quality of ones sold today. Like it or not, sometimes quality changes.

Owen, it is not supposed to have a top. If you've ever been in a bar where they mix you a drink that they shake with ice and then strain into a glass, you'll notice they they put all the contents into the metal part then insert the glass, upside down, into the metal part and shake. The glass creates a seal and becomes the "top". Then you take it off and strain the contents into whatever drink glass you're using. The metal and glass parts of a "Boston shaker" give you more volume and shaking action than a regular shaker with a top...

Used it on the manual. I've only used the fine strainer for blackberries, works very well.

I use it for face mask, so I just mix it with a little bit of water using brush. Some people add ~ half a spoon to their shakes. It depends on how you plan to use it.

Terry, you want to use Delta Faucet 50560-PB Wall Elbow for Handshower or the equivalent. Be careful, though. Our first one broke when the plumber put it on and I had to send it back. We tried to find one locally then and all we could find was the same elbow. The second time it worked perfectly. The plumber wasn't sure what happened and swore he didn't over-tighten it. Have had it up and running now for a couple of months and love it! The bar is great because you can set it to wherever on your spine you want a massage. Perfect!

Take out the elements and pour. I have not done this yet, as I just started using it.

Yes you do have to use the clam. I believe will be impossible to use the cranker and hold the dough without the machine moving around the counter. You have to use some effort to move the cranker specially when you start to process the dough. Hope this help.

It was for me. In fact, I broke mine and couldn't find a replacement so I had to purchase another full set. Well worth it as this shaker really does work (with a bit of practice).

I use a rock tumbler. I don't think they recommend vibrating or ultrasonic cleaners.
