Looking for a stainless steel water pitcher – not plastic?

March 5, 2013 4 Comments
nwafoodie stainless steel water pitcher

Is there anyone else besides me who is sick-and-tired of boring, ugly, and plastic water pitchers?  Please tell me why the Brita or Pur people cannot design one made out of glass?  It is not like we don’t know how to hand wash or handle glass with care.

Rumors are all over the Internet that Brita has a glass pitcher in Europe but, alas, they are not bringing it here to the states.  You gotta’ love a foodie-generated rumor.

Ever since my lab results two years ago showed high levels of styrene in my body I made the switch from plastics to glass and stainless steel.  Mostly.  After I recently dropped my plastic Brita water pitcher and limped it along, I knew it was time to make the upgrade to glass.

 

No dice.  I couldn’t find one.

I lied. I did find a gorgeous Japanese water pitcher with its own louseki stones and Binchotan charcoal lava rock filters that I lusted after. Simply gorgeous! The price was a work of art too. Hubby made me pass.

Then I found the Reduce Vision Water Filtration Pitcher.  It is only a few dollars more expensive than the plastic ones and can handle both Brita AND Pur filters.

This pitcher earns its spot on the countertop.

The Reduce pitcher is both handsome and functional.  I love that it is huge (10 cup capacity) and can handle a lot of water in its filtering reservoir. Now, to be fair, not every bit and piece on this pitcher is stainless steel. There are obligatory pieces of plastic on the lid and where the filter drops in.  But at least this gem will keep me going until somebody brings a glass picture with filtering capabilities to market.

If you are ready for an upgrade on your water pitcher, this may just be the one for you.

Happy eight-glasses-of-water-a-day drinking!

Lyndi

Eat well, my friends. Eat well.

    LOVE this! Of course we would be on the same page about this – I'd love a stainless or glass pitcher.

    Now for confessions: my easy and cheap solution?? You know how all those half gallon glass bottles of local milk are coming back on the grocery store scene? Turns out that after they are emptied, washed (and not returned for deposit – gasp!) they make excellent fridge water "pitchers." 🙂

    Under $6 for a half gallon of creamy milk AND a new water container for the fridge? Yes please!!

    XO,

    GREAT idea! I'm going to do just that, thanks for the tip Beth!

    We reuse our VOSS glass water bottles as our travel containers. They are $3 and fit a car cup holder just perfectly.

    XO!

    I love this water pitcher. I too like to drink from glass and The Hubby got me a wrapped glass bottle for christmas that I can carry my drinking water or any other drink with me. I like the tip from the reader above about using the milk bottles as well.

      To me it is like a security blanket, making sure I have water-to-go that doesn't come from a plastic bottle that has been stored in the sun or a hot warehouse!

This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my t This was a big "oops" moment. As I pulled out my tub with all my handmade serving bowls (and one lovely @lecreuset dish), they all came crashing to the floor.⁠
⁠
Crash!⁠
Smash!⁠
Shock.⁠
⁠
Honestly, I was happy I used them all the time, and they had a good run.⁠

I learned long time ago to use what you have. Otherwise, why have it?

Print, bookmark, or pin this Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Slider recipe. Better yet, make it for dinner!⁠
⁠
You know I’m all about being helpful. And healthy! I’ve also been afraid to walk down that frozen or prepared foods aisle at the store, thinking, “Nope, not for me. They’re not healthy.” ⁠
⁠
I feel good about @kevins.natural.foods because I know I can still eat well by keeping them on hand, whether for the four-o-clock pinch or meal planning.⁠
⁠
I first tried Kevin’s Cauliflower Mac n Cheese when it was a special buy at Aldi’s. The ingredients were simple and pure, and we were delighted to discover they tasted great!⁠
⁠
Kevin’s also has a line of delicious five-minute entrees like Peppercorn Steak, Cilantro Lime Chicken, and Roasted Garlic Chicken.⁠
⁠
My recipe for Easy Cheesy Roasted Garlic Chicken Skillet Sliders only has seven ingredients and seven steps. Best of all, you can complete it from skillet to table in ten minutes!⁠

Turkey?⁠
⁠
Green bean casserole?⁠
⁠
Mashed potatoes?⁠
⁠
Sweet potato casserole?⁠
⁠
Corn?⁠
⁠
Peas?⁠
⁠
Gravy?⁠
⁠
The correct answer is all of them! But mostly, you can’t have Thanksgiving without turkey, sweet potatoes, and veggies. It’s un-American.⁠
⁠
This crazy-awesome pie is stuffed with an abundance of shredded turkey, sweet potatoes, corn, peas, and gravy – Ding! Ding! Ding! – You guessed correctly! It also has ooey-gooey cheese and sour cream to add a layer of comforting delight.⁠
⁠
Link in bio for my Thanksgiving-inspired pot pie that uses three @wickspies 8″ raw circles. One for the base and two to cut lattice strips (using a ravioli cutter) so that it looks extra pretty. Of course, you could just use two raw circles. One for the base and one for the top. Just cut some slits on the top crust so that some ooey-gooey delightfulness can do its thang.⁠

“Just like becoming an expert in wine–you learn by drinking it, the best you can afford–you learn about great food by finding the best there is, whether simply or luxurious. Then you savor it, analyze it, and discuss it with your companions, and you compare it with other experiences.” – Julia Child
