Me, being a person who makes pitchers upon pitchers of Kool-Aid, I just HAD to have this pitcher. How did I find out about the Pampered Chef Family Size Quick Stir Pitcher? Well, while visiting a friends house, I was observing her daughter ...

Cons: hard to clean, grew mold, heavy

I make a lot of green tea. When I came across the Pampered Chef Family-Size Quick Stir Pitcher, I had to have it. It was a nice size pitcher and I loved that it had the plunger in it for mixing. The Quick Stir Pitcher is a clear ...

Pros: Plunger built into lid for easy mixing. Measurements in pitcher. Storage on fridge door.
Cons: Gallon of liquid can be heavy, but great for large families.

I love the Pampered Chef Family-Size Quick Stir Pitcher 2275. With 4 kids, the gallon size container was a big attraction. I could make enough juice to last longer than an hour! What I found to be an even bigger bonus, is that my kids (from ages 4-12) ...

Pros: Mixes effectively, high quality
Cons: Too large; hard to store

The idea behind this pitcher is a good one. You add whatever you want to mix, then just lift the plunger handle, effectively mixing your beverages. The pitcher mixes very effectively, and it's nice that you can re-mix liquids that have separated with ease.

Pampered Chef sells two sizes of these pitchers. I wish I had purchased the smaller one. This one just has too much capacity for our needs. If you mix up one juice concentrate (1 can with 3 more cans of water), it only takes up about a third of the pitcher. But you still need to find room in your refrigerator (and your cupboards when empty) to store it.

To clean it effectively, you also must remove the piece that is inside the pour spout (where you set it to closed or open).

It is a high-quality item and does do what it was intended to do. But this one is just a little too large. I would definitely buy this item again, but choose the smaller version instead.
