Is it safe to make hot boiling soup in this polycarbonate plastic jar?

That Depends How You Manage It. When I Blend Hot Stuff I Make Sure The Top Covers It Well And In Addition I Put A Heat Protecting Glove On The Top And Hold It Hard. The Jar Is Fine But The Cover Is Plastic And Heat Makes It Loose And Soft So You Could Potentially Burn Yourself. Just Be Cautious.

It's pretty thin plastic - like you would get cole slaw or condiments in. I have not tried them with hot liquids. I would not trust them in a microwave oven, as I think they would melt.

I have poured boiling water into the dish, but warm it with hot water first. I am a "safe rather than sorry" type and don't want to make the mistake of having it crack or break because of a sudden and extreme change in temperature.

The finished product is very fine and, using the filter,, should be OK.The soup does come out very hot so watch the temperature !

I have never tried putting boiling water in the bag but I know people who put the bags into boiling water to cook food. I personally do not cook in any plastic for Heath reasons.

Sure, it's a steamer.you can boil anything in it, I just like keeping it saved for rice. Some things like broccoli can leave a smell in the plastic, pasta w/sauce can stain your items (especially if they are clear or white. If it's just the noodles, it should be ok.

Cloth fabric and foam. Understand when you bring pot to boil with all your ingredients inside .. it is the pot your cooking with should be your concern not the insulted material enveloping the pot to stay the heat. Confused by your logic that the material touching the pot would intoxicate. Your pot should be sealed or in a container. So if you use non-PBA plastic as your container then you have that plastic element against the food. The Wonder bag is a wrapping that holds in the heat of the pot you've cooked in.

Its probably ok. Plastic in the lid might start to take on the flavor but i' thinking of getting the all metal replacement lid for mine. Also cold liquid seems to stay really cold it it for quite awhile, i'm assuming it will be the same with hot, it will probably be too hot to hold in your hand.

"Partly microwave safe-mind you..... Some boiling is harmless however if you fill the bowl and try to boil it in the microwave you take the chance of warping the seating gasket....."

I regularly heat sealed food in a pot of water and sometimes the water boils though I try to keep it from doing so. The plastic will eventually leak but I have not experienced diluted contents.

I guess I haven't tried with any hot liquids yet, but it seems like it would be ok. It's made of a fairly sturdy plastic.

The owners manual only says, "do not put boiling liquids in blending jar". The jar is plastic but I don't believe the water temperature in your dishwasher would hurt the jar assembly.

THis type of plastic is designated "safe for reheating or warming only," which I assume means you can't actually cook in it safely. But for reheating coffee or tea, should be fine. I'm still loving my mug!

I would no recommend doing that when it is hot. I know of a person that did that. It is hard plastic but heat will damage it.

It is plastic and I have blended hot food in it.Not sure I would put it in Microwave to reheat food.Metal mixer would be deterrent.Other smaller containers fine.

Although the Owner Manual says it is "Dishwasher Safe", it cautions not to use the "SANI" setting, as high temperatures could damage the jar.The blending jar on the Model 51103 is a hard, clear plastic that has the look and feel of polycarbonate. I wouldn't seriously consider putting the jar into a dishwasher, as even hot tap water can cause such plastics to craze, i.e., develop hundreds of tiny internal cracks. The jar won't disintegrate, but it's clarity will be permanently degraded and its strength will be significantly reduced, so that it might shatter more easily if dropped.

It's plastic so I wouldn't. They make a stainless steel version which would be better for hot liquids.
