Will this pitcher withstand boiling water poured into it?

Mine has. I've had it for about a year maybe, and that's what I usually do.

I have looked and looked for a glass pitcher that will withstand boiling water, but have found very few that do. This particular pitcher is well made, but I've never attempted to put billing water in it. I use it for iced tea. I make the tea in a separate kettle and allow it to cool a bit before I pour it into the pitcher. Also, I put hot water from the tap in the pitcher before I pour the tea into it in order to help warm up the glass. As I understand it, the reason many glass pitchers crack from boiling water is because of the temperature difference between the glass and the water...so, I always warm up the pitcher a bit first.

I have poured boiling water in for coffee, no problem. Washed up to as clear a finish as I began with! Hope this helps

I've used very warm water and it is fine. It is medium to heavy vinyl so it could probably handle pretty hot water. Don't know about boiling water.

Yes, I believe so. I have poured very hot if not boiling water in to it and have never had a problem.

Yes. I pour hot water from the kettle into the pitcher every time I make iced tea, which is often. When you pour the hot water, leave the lid of the pitcher off until the water has come down to almost room temperature. I've found that if I put the lid on when the water is still hot it creates air pressure when it cools and it makes the lid harder to untighten.

To be honest, I have not tried hot liquids in the pitcher. The directions don't specifically mention not to use them but they don't say you can either. It's actually quite a large pitcher and quite heavy when filled with liquids, so I don't know that it would be a good idea to even try it. I would suggest a tea kettle or tea pot if you want just plain hot water.

It should be safe for boiling water. I pour boiling water into mine every day. According to the manufacturer's web site: "... Made in Taiwan with Tritan, a plastic specially-formulated to be safe in hot-temperature applications and is 100% BPA-free"

As long as you align the top in the centered position it pours great. If it off-center it tends to dribble. It is the best pitcher, dishwasher safe, no red algae type growth or creepy plastic dust. It is heavy duty, but perfect for holding water and other liquids.

Sure, as long as the glass is room temperature or already hot. Just don't pour it into a cold glass pitcher or any glass for that matter. Lets say you have ice tea in the pitcher and wanted hot tea, make sure you dump the ice tea and rinse the glass pitcher with room temperature water or luke warm water, then you can pour in boiling water.

No it is all plastic inside. I would not recommend boiling water. It might melt.

The pitcher is definitely NOT dishwasher safe. Many customers have mentioned how the dishwasher ruined the pitcher.

Yes it will hold boiling water. It is a silicone material and you can use it for hot food or for drinking hot coffee or tea.

We use ours for sweet tea so usually don't shake it...but I just tried it for you and when I didnt hold the lid it dripped 4 to 5 drops so not too bad and 2 when I held the lid it dripped a couple drops so either way it seems to be sturdy. One thing I do know is that the pour spout does come detached from the lid to clean so I could see the potential for disaster as the pitcher gets older and spout becomes a little less secure

I have had mine for almost two months and I have poured boiling water into it almost daily and it has not cracked.

No--I shattered mine by doing that. Well, I should say that I got away with putting boiling water in it many times, until the time I shattered it.

Absolutely. I fill it with ice and then pour (double strength) hot coffee straight out of a french press right over the ice (which melting, and adding a bit more water as needed, brings the coffee to regular strength). The pitcher handles this with complete aplomb. Not even a sound of cracking or popping (aside from crackling of the ice). Also great for iced coffee in that it will not stain, and the seal prevents transfer of flavors or odors in the fridge.

I did this about five times until it cracked and I have terrible burns. The pitcher was at room temp on a warm day and the water was slightly off boil. BEWARE!!!
