Why cold water in a jug first?
First cold water in a pitcher helps prevent the pitcher from being damaged by the sudden temperature difference. Pouring hot water directly into a cold pitcher can lead to cracks or fractures in the material.
How hot should the water in a jug be?
The maximum temperature of the water in a pitcher depends on the material of the pitcher. Generally, it is recommended to use water of about 50 to 65 degrees Celsius. It is essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions, as different jugs have different specifications.
How to use a pitcher safely?
Always check the manufacturer's instructions for specific directions. In general, the following guidelines apply:- Do not fill the jug completely full to expand.
- Check regularly for any leaks or damage.
- Do not place the jug directly on the skin, but wrap it in a towel or cover to prevent burns.
- Never leave the jug unattended during heating.
Can you put boiling water in a pitcher?"
