Using this pitcher is a piece of cake. Simply fill it up with your favorite beverage, whether it's water, iced tea, juice, or lemonade. The 50 - ounce capacity means you can serve multiple people at once. For indoor and outdoor casual dining, just place it on the table and pour away. When it comes to cleaning, you're in luck. This pitcher is dishwasher safe, so you can just pop it in the dishwasher for a hassle - free clean. However, to keep it in top condition, avoid hitting it against hard surfaces as it's made of glass. Also, if you notice any scratches on the plastic lid over time, it might be a good idea to replace it to maintain its functionality.
