Can you use this with one hand/pots with one handle? I'm comparing it with the RSVP Endurance&reg; Crescent Pot Strainer which has one long handle.

This is a 2-hand strainer. You won't get a good seal against the pot without 2 hands. It also gets hot quickly along the handles when draining hot liquid, so you may want to use a towel or pot holder(s) as well. I hope this helps you!

There are many different type mesh strainers and mesh size varies. This strainer is almost as fine as a tea strainer. I mainly use this for making soups, and stocks. It is excellent for skimming fat off the top. The mesh size is perfect for gathering the oils, while letting the precious stock return to the pot. It is also great for straining the stock, but your better off using a coarser sieve first. I honestly don't know how I made it this long without this strainer!

Yes, you can. It might droop in a little because the sides aren't very firm, but it can work if you are not a perfectionist. I just tried it with mine, and it doesn't collapse in. It's just a little saggy/droopy at the top but not terribly so. It worked best with the handle side at the top.

I recommend that you buy a different handle. I never use it, and it's hard to use with both hands

That is what I have been doing for two years and have had no problems. Remember it is very small and makes just over a cup of tea. Handle will get hot so need to use glove or pot holder.

My teapot arrived with the handle attached. If mine had arrived as yours (handle unattached) I would have returned it as defective. As small as they are, these pots are rather heavy. Trying to stretch the handle to "slip" on could, in my opinion, weaken the handle. If they came apart, this pot could cause some serious damage.

Yes, the only bad thing about this crock is the handle is for looks. You can not carry it by the handle!!!!

Why would you need to? That camp stove has three pot holder arms to do the same thing this does. I'm guessing the rings will be to big to sit on the 3 arms if that's what you are planning to do?

The strainer bowl is 7" across. That doesn't include the handle. Hope that helps.

Yes, but only if you squeeze 1 cove, or smaller pieces at a time. When you load it with a lot of garlic, you lose some leverage. I have no problem, but if you hands are smaller you might.

No strainer with this teapot. Just a side note if you are thinking of purchasing. Because the pour spout is straight and not curved like most teapots, if the teapot is filled to capacity, sometimes when pouring, some tea will spill out from the spout on to the counter or whatever. With that said, I still love this pretty teapot and would not trade it.

The mesh is not flexible. There is a little give but not enough to squeeze inside a smaller pot. Plus there is the little stand where you could hang and drain on the lid of the pot. If you're frying small items in a smaller pot id recommend a wok mesh strainer. I personally use this big one to fry in a big outdoor fryer. Hope this helps.

I am no expert just an ordinary user. I would suggest it best if each family member had their own but in theory it would be possible to swap out the brush head and use just one handle in a pinch.

I looked on the internet. I believe the Oneida pot can be used very safely. Bon Appetite

Yes, you can. There are 2 handles. The smaller one is approximately 1 inch, the other approximately 2 inches. It is simple to lift the infuser with only the longer handle after your tea is the right strength. The handles do not fold upward, only down. It's quite sturdy, actually. If you purchase this handy little item, I hope you enjoy!

If its like the two we purchased then no it is really designed as a 360 crank handle and would be to be mounted on a block or off to the side to allow full rotation without interference to your hand. And I believe it is the exact model. As a matter of fact I really needed a right hand and left hand version. But had to mount one 90 degrees to allow for handle rotation.

No you can't. In fact you need to use both hands when pouring, one to hold the handle the other to push down the lever for the water to pour out.
