Most of the time I use stainless steel pitchers for the smoothies and juices I make…
But sometimes I find that (depending on what I toss into my juices/smoothies) that some of the ingredients can react with the metal. While I much prefer my stainless steel pitchers (I love the way stainless steel looks!) If I’m concerned about metal reaction I usually reach for one of my glass pitcher. The thing is, unlike my stainless steel pitchers none of my glass pitchers have tops. If I need a pitcher with a top, I’ll pull out my lonely plastic pitcher.
Yesterday is an excellent example… You remember that Mango green smoothie that I made? That was put into my plastic pitcher because it had a top, but I wasn’t thrilled about doing that. However since I don’t like leaving my juices or smoothies ‘topless’ in the refrigerator into the plastic pitcher it went!
I’ve never been fond of plastic storage containers. I like the heaviness of metal/glass. Which is why you’ll find that all my food storage containers are made of glass. Initially I was concerned about breakage, but I’ve had my containers for over nine years and they haven’t broken yet.
Well guess what? I finally found a heavy duty glass pitchers (with tops) that I like! I should be receiving them sometime next week!
I’ll recycle my plastic pitcher by cutting a bit off the top and turning it into a storage container for some of my daughter’s crafts.
Me neither, no plastic. I prefer glass – can’t see through stainless steel.

@suituapui, That’s the only thing I dislike about stainless steel, you can’t see though it… so glass pitchers (with tops) are perfect for juicing/smoothies.

Thanks @curls and q, For some reason the expression, “Little pitchers have big ears” come to mind when I was writing this post. I first read that in Little House in the Big Woods.

I’ve noticed that, too, certain fruits or veggies that react to different containers whether it be plastic or metal/Stainless Steel or Glass, etc.
Those pitchers are cute! I LIKE EM!!!!

@Jennifer, The ones I’ve noticed are mainly the fruits with citric acid, I guess I should have included that in my post. 😉
