Would these be thick enough to hold hot soup without burning hands?

I wouldnt put hot items in the cups especially if they are for little kids. The cups are great but I do not think they would be thick enough for hot items.

I wouldn't see why not. They are ceramic and I serve piping hot soup in them all the time.

Very well. They're not extremely thick, but they do seem to heat fairly evenly and I've found that things don't burn badly in them so long as I keep an eye on them. I use these pots constantly and have no complaints.

Although the lids are tight, I wouldn't trust them for carrying soup- maybe salad. Also, they are glass and I would be nervous about kids dropping them- they do break. They are great for leftovers.

I'll try to answer. They are essentially like the Pyrex Mixing Bowls, etc. that you were used to. They can handle hot liquids. I would say you can microwave them better than plastic left over bowls, especially if you've some type of tomato paste in them which would stain plastic. They are not too heavy. They are lighter weight for their size than the Pyrex bowls. I'm guessing 3/16" thick. I liked them for their lightweight.

I don't think this product would be good for that. The insert with the gloves says, "The gloves are meant for feood only. Longtime exposure to hot objects and liquids can cause the gloves to melt." And even if you don't hold the griddle long enough to cause melting, the heat transfers pretty fast to your hand.

Uhhhh, I wouldnt. Gets very hot in the dishwasher. These are rubber twists. I would imagine they would melt. I'd use the plastic ties instead. Get them anywhere and they are cheap. Use once, toss. But you can buy 100 for virtually nothing. Just another option.

Yes. They are easy to use with thin or thick glove/mittens. You really do not want to hold frozen metal grips I 10 degree weather.

Personally, I would say, no. They just don't "look" like they would withstand the heat. I use them for my homemade creams and they are perfect for that. Actually, the sturdiest and best priced container I've found for this purpose.

That's why I chose these pots and pans, for their handles. My other set had steel handles that did get hot and were hard to handle. My hands are arthritic and these have a nice fat, cushiony COOL grip.

I have not microwaved anything in this, but I have with their coffee mugs, and the handles don't get hot. I'm sure these will be the same.

They feel pretty heavy duty - and the magnet in the center of the handle gives extra heft - so I'd say 'probably, yes.' Because of the thicker middle, they feel more substantial than the set of 18/10 spoons that my daughter managed to bend (digging in the yard).

These glasses are really heavy and have a good thickness. While I have not personally used them for hot, I am sure they could handle it without cracking. I don't recommend microwaving however to get a beverage hot.

I do not think these will be thick enough. I use them for melting lead and they are marginally thick for handling the metal dipper. Had to wrap the steel dipper handle to keep the heat from being too much. Only have lead at 700 degrees.

I wouldn't use them for boiling hot items...they do go through the dishwasher safely and leave no tastes

They are very sturdy and can hold a lot. I've not had issue with hot food on them. I have been told they will hold up in the dishwasher but not personally tried that!

They are pretty sturdy, so I believe they would handle something hot, just not boiling hot.
