Are these glasses flexible enough to use in both cold AND hot beverages?

They do all right in a dishwasher, so I imagine they could handle hot drinks. (If they get banged around in the dishwasher they will eventually chip or break. I've had four different sizes and the wine glasses too for about five years and I've mostly lost the 10 oz. to breaks and chips.)

Never try in hot beverage. Sorry that I don't know the answer. But some of glasses in the set are very thin toward the top. I've broken a few.

I would "temper" them first by pouring a little hot liquid before a full glass since it's a bit thinner near the top. I will say they go in the dishwasher with hot rinse just fine. I have had them several years without a loss of one single glass I love these glasses

Yes they are I actually have a set of six in dishwasher as we speak. My hot water gets really hit too. Go for it! Love these glasses for clumsy people. Like me. :-)

I don't think so. They are nice for drinking. But I probably not for canning and they are not wide mouth.

I cannot say for certain. It is a heavy duty plastic and very sturdy/stiff. With that said I'm not sure how flexible it would be for hot/cold change. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

Absolutely, I use them for tea, coffee, and coco. The handle stays cool and the drink stays hot.

I use them daily and never worry about the temperature of the glass before I pour boiling water in it. I am very careful though when I wash my wine glasses because I know if the water is a bit too hot they will crack. I can't say that if you have them in the freezer before filling them with boiling water, that they won't crack, but under normal room temperature ranges or even slightly below, I would feel very comfortable. They are extremely sturdy.

No, the glasses, while thick, are not approved tempered glass for hot beverages.

I'll echo what others have already stated which is that these particular glasses I do not think would lend themselves well to being placed in the freezer. Even if you were very careful with them and you did place them in the freezer, I don't think they would hold a chill very long due to their thin structure. In our house, these glasses are probably the most delicate glasses that we have around. Don't get me wrong, they're not thin as in "cheapy-feeling" they are thin as in "elegant-feeling" if that makes sense. Like others, I hand wash mine as well. Hope that helps.

I love these glasses for hot or cold beverages. Never broke one. They can get a little cloudy from the dishwasher but they still work great.

I would not recommend it. They may hold them but the closest I have come to putting hot in them was pouring hot sauce on top of a mousse in them. It held up fine with that but I did not fill the glass completely with hot fluids.

I wouldn't use them for hot beverages because it might crack or break the glass.

The glasses are fairly thick, which I prefer. I think any glass will sweat if the contents are significantly colder than outside temperatures. However, I find these glasses sweat less than most.

Extremely strong glass. Very thick. I would think if you left room for some expansion of frozen liquid, they should be fine. I have not tried freezing anything in them. This is only my opinion based on how sturdy they are.

Yes. They're made of silicon, so you won't get a drink hot enough to melt them. They're not so thick that you won't be able to feel the liquid coming up, but not so thin that they're flimsy, either.

Absolutely. I originally bought them thinking we would use for protein shakes. They were for my husband to take to work, because he leaves very early, and doesn't have time to mix or prepare anything. Keep in mind though, the glass adds weight. Not like plastic. However, the cool "green-ness" factor outweighs that for us.

I do use these with hot beverages - actually tea and I don't find it a problem as it doesn't get any hotter than the beverage and if you are cautious when you initially use them until you become used to the difference and use common sense, you shouldn't have a problem.

PERFECTLY!! They are so comfortable and flexible you will hardly feel them even when wearing glasses. I wear sunglasses that are pretty thick and they feel great! Good Luck!
