How does this cup stand up to high temps? I would be using it to measure boiling water pretty often.

I imagine water would be fine. I clean it in the dishwasher and that's pretty high temperatures. It serves a purpose but I still find I need and Pyrex measuring set for other food items that go in the microwave.

It says on the packing it's microwavable. I've boiled water in it in the microwave many times with no problem. I really like this 8 cup measuring cup.

Nope, don't do it. Only use Pyrex glassin the microwave. I purchased OXO Good Grips 8 Cup Angled that I use to measure liquids that are cold and fill with ice from the icemaker in the fridge.This is PLASTIC. It is good for people who have trouble lifting this size Pyrex glass filled with some ingredient.

Pouring already hot water should be OK but I don't use it in the microwave..I prefer Pyrex for microwave use.

I honestly couldn't tell you because I only use it for boiling water for my tea, so I have never used it on anthing but the highest setting. It boils my cup of water in about two or three minutes

I have not used this probe in boiling water. This would be a question for the manufacturer, www.taylorusa.com/kitchen/thermometers Consumer Help & Support 1-866-843-3905. Good Luck!

Yes, it should be okay. It's not going to be like a Pyrex cup, but it has enough strength to hold up by itself, full or not, within reason...I wouldn't test it with boiling water or honey, but flour or sugar, sure.

I wouldn't do it! Do you mean to use it like a pot/pan? I wouldn't want to take that chance in case it would slip and you could get scalded. But as a measuring cup for dry/liquid measurements, I love it and use it very day.

I really don't know that for sure. But obviously it high enough to withstand cooking temperatures at the boiling point. Which is at least 212 degrees Fahrenheit

It stays warm as the bottom part of the pot keeps the water at boiling temperature. This is not necessarily a good thing since it causes over brewing.

I got the kettle for my brother, and he loves it. I've tried a couple of times at different settings, and it worked well. My brother says the temps are good. The nice thing is that it's a knob; if it's a little hot to you, just turn it down. There's no digital readout to lie. :)

I have a gas stove and use this pot often; not sure what temperature it can withstand, but certain it would be a high temperature. It has a heavy bottom and heats evenly. I mostly use it for soups and stews.

I use it to monitor the temp and check if there is water in a room that is unheated - I have seen it down as low as 25 degrees. It works well.

I did not purchase this cup so I have no idea about it. I did purchase another 2.5 cup plastic measuring cup and it DOES NOT/DID NOT work using boiling water. Cracked and leaked right away.

I haven't used the cup. I got it as a gift for my son.I was impressed by the item and how well it is made. Since it is copper, no harm will come to it when using hot liquid.

Hello, I use this item to make large quantities of tea - I submerge everything except the handle. I don't know how heat resistant that part is, but it seems like it would hold up. Hope that helps!

I was able to use them in boiling water (212+ degrees F) to monitor boiling beer and they survived well. They were submersed past the metal shell and including some of the plastic. It seemed to work pretty well in those extreme conditions. Not too sure about maximum depth

The temp selector only seems to work well if the pot is filled to the 1 liter mark. If its only half full I can hear it boiling. I have never put a temp probe in to see exactly what the temp is though.Ed: So you made me curious, I heated water at the low, middle and high settings. I then poured the water in a cup and over my digital instaread thermometer. The temps were on Low-155F, middle-191F, High-206F. Considering I could see the water boiling on high I assume the water is losing about 6 deg as it pours out but the temp in the cup is what your tea bag or coffee would experience.

I think it can handle boiling temperatures as I use it to filter the soy milk freshly made from the soymilk maker which heats the milk up to boiling temperature. I am not sure how well it will hold up if you were to keep the bag in the pot while it is boiling.

I would consider these 'dry cups'. You can also use them to measure liquids. The quality is excellent!!
