I use mine mostly for lemon water. I will leave the whole cut lemon in for a day and then drink it within a day or two with the lemons still in the container. I have used berries and pineapple before but remove them after a day because they get soggy. I don't reuse the fruit.

1. Infusion time depends on fruits and how thin they are chopped. Typically 24 hours is enough if the cold water is used. Because different components of fruit diffuse (infuse the water) at different speed, the longer infusion time provides the richer taste. You can accelerate the infusion by the slicing of fruits (the chopping fruits on small pieces will result in more floating small pieces and often clogging of pouring filter). 2. After the 20 -24 hrs of infusion, there are not much "flavor" ingredient left in fruits. So answer is "only once." 3. I never kept the infused water more then 2 days (usually it's gone in half-day in the summer time). If just filtered (not boiled) cold water was used, I would not recommend to store it more than 2-3 days. With dried fruits (cranberries, cherries etc.) and boiled hot water - probably up to week. Drink is not going bad but the taste changes. My solution - always use the infuser (plastic part with slots) and remove fruits (take it out together with the cap, unscrew and dispose fruits) after taste is established. Also - I would not recommend to brew ice tea from small loose tea leaves this infuser: the glass may take any temperature but infuser itself is not a mesh but a slotted plastic tube - you'll have a lot of floating tea leaves and the pouring filter will be clogged. Of course, it's not related to tea bags. PG Tips in pyramids are the best for this purpose.

You can turn it off early before the timer goes off, and I did try fruit. My bananas went brown, and I tried another fruit, I think it was peaches or something like that, and it ended up kinda chewy. For some reason, I cannot get it like the stores have it, where it's dry and not mushy. I know that some websites advise the use of pectin (the canning stuff) when you dry fruit out cuz it prevents discoloration. I have yet to try that. I think I may need to experiment with the thickness of the fruit slices. That may have been my downfall. Having said that, I like to dry herbs with it from the garden. Now they turn out much better, and I gotta say, they are much better than the stuff they sell you at the supermarket. One last thing: I don't know that it's about the "heat" so much as it is about the "air". It didn't seem to really get hot that much.

I have had mine for about a year. No sign of fruit yet. Maybe ask the seller. Then let me know!

that would depend on what you are making, jam, jelly, preserves??? also with every fruit the ratio is different. there really is no definite answer for this question, if you are talking about how much pectin to use with your fruit and sugar there is no definitive answer for that question either. Again, it depends on what you are making, and what fruit you are using. There are fruits that have natural pectin and fruits that have none. Sorry, give me more info, and I will try to help further.

It depends on what you are doing personally. I usually use only one scoop to a fruit shake, so one container lasts me about 3 weeks, a little less if I eat two shakes a day.

It seems to help ALL fruits and vegetables to last longer. It absorbs the gasses they emit that cause them to ripen, so it slows down the deterioration process. I keep them in all my fruit and veggie drawers in the fridge and with all my baskets of fruit & veggies on the counter. It helps make things last longer.

Not sure I understand the question, but if you are wanting to know how long you can store it for (unopened), I would guess that you would probably want to consume it within a few months to no more than a year, just like regular soda. These are small bottles, in comparison to the giant soft drinks that we are served nowadays, so you might want to order extras, just in case. These were a hit as favors at my wedding. Enjoy! :)

I have not used frozen fruit, my opinion would be you would need to leave the fruit in longer for it to infuse in the water. For example I use fresh fruit and infuse overnight, if I were to use frozen fruit I would leave it in the fridge for double the time. This is strictly my opinion, I have not used frozen fruits

Depends on what you put in the container.. I.e. If fruit, there will be drops of moisture if in for a period of time. That has been my experience

You must follow directions to "multiply" the amount of starter available to both have enough to make the bread and have some to save for the next time. This can take 3-5 days. (Starters kept fed, used weekly, and kept in the refrig will actually live for decades - my last one was in constant use for over 30 years until I forgot about it and it died. After growing it the first time all it will need is overnight the following times.) Enjoy! Might I suggest sourdough banana nut bread? A great favorite with family and friends.

You can use yogurt from your last batch to make the next batch. Keep in mind the batch size does shrink down when strained meaning you won't have as much to enjoy for eating. I keep a store bought container around for starter. I keep the homemade for enjoyment.

I use it to make enough for my family of four. As long as the bowl is big enough and you have enough fruit, you can just keep putting more fruit in until you have a desired amount. Cleanup is easy and it is the same no matter how much you make.

I didn't look for an expiration date because I knew mine wouldn't last. Most dried fruit is good for a year, if you keep in freezer I think it would extend that date. Here is a web site to help you. http://www.eatbydate.com/fruits/dried-fruit-shelf-life-expiration-date/

I just received mine earlier this summer, so I don't expect fruit for 18 months or so. It'll stay potted, since I live in Michigan, and spend winters indoors. I've heard that in tropical areas, with year'round or nearly so, growing seasons, papayas can fruit in 12 months or less. My previous TR Hovey papaya was eventually planted in a large 20 inch diameter pot, and grew to be about 5 ft, tall in that pot. They can live 5-10 years or more.
