Can I use this pitcher in the oven at 170 degrees or will the plastic melt?

The handle is able to withstand low to medium heat. However, to be safe you can remove the handle to avoid having any issues before placing it in the oven. It's very easy to remove the screw and then replace. This is a very nice pitcher.

Hi. I can tell you that I love this pitcher. I use it to create real lemon water. I peel lemons and put them in the tube and let it sit in ice water overnight. The lemons work for about a week before they need replacement. I haven't had any issues with cracking or breaking. I've had it a few months now and like it.

This will definitely melt in the oven. All I can think of is using it for icecream or something... But with most everything you'd probably have to cut the mold away...

Either pre heat the pitcher with hot but not boiling water or put a metal knife in the pitcher before you pour in boiling water. Pre heating works best. Glass just doesn't expand very fast.

You can put hot water and won't damange the pouring plastic. BUT outter casing will be the same temperature as to water temp, you will get burned if not careful. It is not temp control bottle.

I can help only a little with the question. The bottom of the bowl says microwave safe, no broiler, no stovetop, so 440 degrees might be too much for it. Use metal instead.

You cannot use then in an oven. They have plastic domes and I am rather certain that they will melt.

The description says it is oven safe up to 400 F. However, I don't think it should go to the oven at all. The handle is plastic and no matter the description, I believe plastics should not be heated up.

I don't know. The infuser is a gold color metal mesh, like others I have in drip coffee makers. I'm pretty sure the pitcher is BPA free. You pour boiling water from a pot into the pitcher, so the highest temperature is 212F. It works fine at that temp.

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!!!

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.

Carol, that is a good question. I broke mine too, but I have been using a Tuperware type pitcher and it works pretty well.

It looks to be the same as a paint can, only smaller. I would think a glass jar would work... not sure if it would melt plastic.

No. My pitcher was room temp and I poured boiling water in it for tea and the whole bottom cracked. Another one bites the dust.

I went back to the cupboard to give this pot a "going over" to see if anything would be wrong with putting it in the oven. I do not see anything that would prohibit oven use, if the oven is large enough. There are no pieces on the pot or lid which should melt at temperature. Handle for the lid is made from tubular(or solid) steel, as is the pot handles. The reinforcing band around the pot at the handle area looks to be steel. I bought mine for cooking pasta and for stocks (on the top burners), and I am very pleased so far. I would not hesitate to try the oven, if needed. There are no plastic or poly parts on the pot that I can see.

I do not believe this is made of the type of plastic that can withstand oven temperatures. And since using unsuitable plastics in the oven can cause toxic fumes, I would caution you not to try it. Besides, you would ruin your bowl.
