RSVP International Stainless Steel Tea & Cooking Infuser with Mesh Strainer

M7894: I bought it for when I do chicken soup, it's so easy so I don't have to dig in the soup for the herbs!!

Lorance R. Gomez: the hook on the chain is too small. I have a 2.2 gallon glass Iced Tea container I purchased from Costco and the the rim of the jar is thicker than the hook can accommodate. I am trying to remedy the situation on my own, but I am not creative with tools so I will take it to Ace Hdw and hopefully they have a solution.as I don't believe you don't either as it is an unusual conundrum.

Amazon Customer: Purchased for as a gift. I will be reordering one for myself. I really liked the oblong shape to hold a sprig of the herb.

JKK: Where has this been all my life? I've spent years making anchovy broth and fishing out the little bits. This infuser is the perfect shape and size to fit anchovies and makes it so much easier and cleaner.

Morgan E. Flint: got this for putting whole spices in soups and stews. in my opinion it works great. no more fishing for bay leaves etc. when the soup is done.

The Hawk: I bought this infuser primarily to hold bay leaves when making soups so the leaves would be easier to remove after cooking. Positives are it's easy to use and the latch stays shut during use. Negatives are the mesh can be hard to clean, thicker soups tend to clog inside the infuser, the hinge feels a little flimsy, and the hook on the end of the chain is too small and doesn't stay in place on the edge of the pot. As a result, you end up having to fish the chain out of the soup instead of being able to simply lift it off the rim by the hook, which is annoying. There may not be a way to improve the infuser to address the first two negatives. However, a sturdier hinge and a larger spring-loaded clip on the end of the chain would improve it a lot. Overall, the product still warrants 4 stars because it does serve its intended purpose.

Flex Courteaux: Yea, I wanted to try something like this for my dry spices because I enjoy making a lot of Indian cuisine. Nothing worse than enjoying a curry then biting into a clove or a cardamon pod. This solved that issue and works very well. Use a wok to heat them in oil at the shallow bottom, or dry roast them and then put them in this to stay with it throughout the slow cooking of the sauce. The long chain is excellent too, so you can attach it to handle or side of pan and pull it out easily when you choose.

Kindle Customer: great little gadget for herbs

wightrider: Good infuser - I liked the shape of this one as it is ideal for putting sticks of rosemary in to flavour my home made soup. Much more useful for herbs than the usual round ones.
It seems to be well made and arrived in fairly good time considering it came from America (about 10 days from dispatch).
Price is very reasonable as it includes international delivery.
My only criticism is that the hook you use to hang it over the side of the pan is a little small - I may have to put a bigger hook on it.

FFFF: All other infusers are fiddlingly small: this is the only thing of its kind available in a generous size - sufficient to hold a good quantity of rosemary sprigs for example. 'Almost' perfect - because the hinges seem a bit weak and fiddly - but they do seem to work perfectly well - so far!
