Is there a mechanism to stop the steep, or do you have to remove the basket?

You must remove the basket to stop the steep. Also, if you were to forget that the tea leaves were still in the basket, there's nothing preventing the leaves from making their way into your mouth...yes, I have made this rookie mistake!

You do have to remove the basket and the basket is an open top but it does have a handle that lifts up so you can remove it. It's by far the best tea tumbler I have ever owned.

I'm sorry, I misread your question. The basket doesn't have a top. The upper support is shaped like a "U". The basket just slides on tracks and can be removed if you need.

Yes the basket can be easily removed. The bracket is not an easy target. I put a couple of zip ties to make it a little less attractive to someone that might try on the spur of the moment.

No. As the unit opens out for the basket, the handle comes up. Lowering the handle smoothly closes the basket and it's flat for storage or travel.

The basket will do that but its a piece of JUNK....................look for another item.

Yes. The appearance is deceiving; the handle pulls the basket so that the bottom becomes vertical. One bit of side advice - be certain to lift the brushed before crossing pavement. Not doing so puts a lot of strain on the wheel gears.

Yes. There are two screws to fasten the handle to the basket so you can take it off.

it is a cylindrical screen basket that hangs from the lid. You can remove it after the tea steeps.

There is a tea strainer that comes with the tea pot. The strainer doesn't have a handle so it is not convenient to remove the tea strainer after steeping since it fits into a groove along the top where the tea pot lid fits snugly.

hold the silver rim (near the top) and turn to the right (clockwise) and lift off. it's kind of counter-intuitive since the tendency is to turn it in the other direction. I had trouble too.

NO!! they lock on a taper and cannot be turned up to form a basket, but you can take wood strips and a dab of glue I believe it is F some number and just a dab about every 4 -8 inch's will hold the wood strips...if I wanted a raised edge to stop things from sliding that would do it...

It is difficult, but if you un-attach the clip on the front of the basket it goes down easier.

yes my husband always takes the basket off before folding it. The walker has been most useful for my husband and easy to handle.

I'm not certain, but a front basket for me has worked well, especially if something shifts in my basket, I can see it and readjust before becoming unstable.

The best way to transport it is in the trunk of your vehicle. Remove. The basket and lay it flat in the trunk and it shouldn't shift or unfold again.

No! This cart's handle is long enough to keep this from happening. I love my cart!!!

Yes. You remove the basket before folding. It folds and unfolds with complete ease.
