I hope this is the right place to ask. I'm curious what kinds of pitchers people use? We have some glass ones but they don't have tops or the tops they have are at least partly plastic. And we have some plastic pitchers. And I've tried reusing glass juice containers, plastic juice bottles, etc. They always seem to mildew! How do you store drinks without getting mildew?

ive always used somethign like this for tea, especially sun tea. right now we just have one plasic pitcher, since dh ruined the tea jar we had, and i havent had a chance to get anything else

kdmama--do you ever get mildew in those? I don't really understand why we do. Is it because the pitchers don't seal well?

ashley--I do like those sun tea pitchers. I think they are too big for me, though. I'm looking for something I can also use in the fridge. Thanks.

Anyone else have a pitcher you like? Or know why I have this mildew issue?

The lid is plastic, but since the liquid never actually touches it, I really don't worry about it. I've never noticed an issue with mildew with them.

I have a big glass vase that dh gave me flowers in once and it's the perfect shape for a pitcher so I use it

I have an open top pitcher that I use for tea, but if I use it for juice, we get the same problem as you, no idea why. It's only ok if I know the juice will be gone really fast (like if we're having kids over or dh likes that kind

)

I like that bedbathandbeyond one, it looks small enough to not hog the fridge space. I've been having this same problem and looking for ideas and hadn't found any yet, but will definitely keep watching this thread

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one! That BBB one does look the right size and it's not too expensive. Maybe I'll try it out.

I love the vase idea.

Way to reuse!
