Is it OK to pour boiling water in to this colander?

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

I pour boiling pasta into it, & it's been fine. I don't have any issues with it at all.

I'm not sure, but I have poured boiling water in mine with no adverse effects.

Your not supposed to use boiling water. The water should be slightly warm. I've never had issues with it being too hot.

No. You could microwave the water then pour it in, I just use a tea kettle on the stove. Doesn't even have to be boiling.

I just poured 8 cups into the pot, and it was filled to just above the shoulder. I wouldn't boil it with that much water in it, though; it would be in danger of boiling out.

No, unfortunately. Be very mindful when boiling water. I had to buy a new kettle because I forgot about it on the stove and holes were burned into the copper. I still love this kettle though. Just have to pay attention.

Yes, I regularly pour boiling water into the pitcher to brew ice tea. Holds up fine, hasn't cracked or broken.

While I have not used boiling water, I've poured extremely hot water straight from my percolator into the pitcher. It should hold up just fine.

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

If you are thinking of using the microwave to boil water in these bowls, I would recommend against it. If it didn't break it would be too hot to handle and could crack when you take it out and put it on the counter. It would probably be okay to pour boiled water into the bowl, as long as you have a spoon in it or something to "temper" the hot liquid hitting the surface of the (cooler) bowl.

No. But you should never leave the kitchen with boiling water on the stove ! So it shouldn't matter.

It is never safe to pour rolling boiling water into any container. Once the bubbles have stopped, gently pour the boiled water into the pitcher that has been at room temp. I always set my pitcher on a coaster or bamboo trivet so it does not make contact with the counter since the glass is thin.

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.

Yes. I've been making iced tea in mine and pouring boiling water directly into the pitcher. No hint of a problem. As always when putting hot liquids in glass, it's best to pour in a little and swirl it around to heat the glass a bit before pouring in the rest.

NO! I have poured boiling water in it, but do not place it on a stove and heat it because it will break!

Be careful putting water on top. I did it but you have to make sure there's water on it all the time. Same rules as a stove apply here.

My daughter and I pour boiling water into it to make tea. HOWEVER, we do use an old 'trick' my mom taught me, and that is to put a long metal spoon or metal tongs into the pitcher before we pour the hot water. We don't know if this is something actually necessary, but haven't gotten up the nerve to NOT use this 'trick' every time. Hope that helps!
