Is this large enough to make a gallon of tea?

I use a scant teaspoon of tea leaves for each cup I plan to drink. When I put in two teaspoons, after infusing the now wet leaves have expanded to fill about half of this infuser. You may want to consider using two separate one-gallon pots, brew tea in one pot and then transfer/strain into the other.

It really depends on what container you're using, but the infuser should hold enough leaves to make a gallon.

I haven't tried to make tea, the holes are large enough for loose tea to fall into the hot water. You could use it to infuse already brewed tea with flavors. I mostly use it to flavor water with crushed mint.

No, this sieve / strainer is very small and insubstantial. Its best use might be for straining loose tea over a mug.

not unless it is a short bottle! The space is just about 7 1/2 inches from bottom of the top tray to the bottom of the bottom tray. I is wide enough but I don't think it is tall enough for a gallon of cooking oil.

Yes but only half the pack of kernals and oil at a time, the kettle you bought can only handle 4 oz at a time.

I never try it but I don't think it is built for tea, also it will be too much work to make a cup of tea.

Yes. But maybe a little too big for a pitcher. Better for a larger serving container of 5-9 gallons.

No, just fill it will hot water from a kettle and add tea to steep. Pretty teapot to serve from.

Sure, but if you just stuffed a tea bag in there it would take longer to brew. A better way might be to cut the bag open and pour the loose tea into the infuser.

Yes, it's great for steeping bagged tea! The opening is rather narrow, though, so a diffuser with loose tea may not fit.

Yes and no. You can get 4T+ of dry tea into the basket, but when steeping something like a spring sprout oolong (that expands quite a bit), you'll end up with a near-solid mass of wet leaves that won't infuse. Definitely need a larger infuser or smaller amount of tea.

yes! you just have to squish the tea bag up a bit to fit it in. but it works just fine!

possibly, it's pretty big but it will likley do fairly well. In a 10 gallon it takes up 1/4 to a 1/3 of the space.

Absolutely. The glass jar opening should be large enough for it to fit. I also use it for brine. Here is a helpful video. Watch "How To Make Himalayan Salt Brine - And Why?" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLfBp3t4XQM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

That depends on the kind of tea you are using and the potency you are looking for. I've used this to make a 1.5 liter size pitcher of sun tea and I've also used it to make a 18 ounce size of hot tea. You will have to experiment a bit to find your flavor level. Since it is big, you have more room to "play". Sorry I couldn't give you a more direct answer, hope this helps

Yes. I have used small amounts in a tea that I brew for hydro and aquaponics

Per the description, it states: Brews 16oz (2 cups) of tea and fits cups with a 3.5 inch diameter. I would say something similar to that would work fine.
