Would it be durable for heavy soup like clam chowder?

It is a thin plastic that is ideal for salads, fruit, ice cream, etc. I don't think hot, heavy soups or entrees would be something I would use it for.

They are much like the solo brand you find in the grocery store. If the item is too hot, I suppose they could melt. I read the reviews, and none of the reviewers used them for anything hot.

They are strong but I think the heat of the clam chowder might weaken the bowl.

I have put wet curries and thick soups in without problem, but every time I have used it for anything that has a real broth (water-like) base has leaked some, but as long as you carry it upright, it works great! So only in a rough situation would I not carry a soup in it, but I use it to carry soups to work.

I don't think that I would try it for hot soup. It is fairly small. I used it for carrots/celery/ranch dressing. I don't know how it would handle the temperature of soup.

I wouldn't try it. It is cylindrical; don't believe it would hold up well under "kitchen" use. Knives being put into it to dip butter out, etc. would most likely scratch it; and it would also probably dent easily if banged against other items like on a kitchen countertop. It is probably the thickness of a can such as a soup can...and the edges do NOT have a bead or "Thick" type border on the edge.....decorative for the most part...good for cottonballs, q-tips, etc.....

It's very sturdy and the diameter of the central tube is larger than most, but it would depend on the length of the piece of cucumber. It definitely could handle it structurally.

It works well. I use it all the time for soup and oatmeal. It's sturdy enough for what it is made for.

I think it will hold up with daily use as much as any other hot pot (provided you don't let it run dry!) I have had mine several months and I don't have any problems thus far.

I dont think so. The coil mechanism isn't terribly sturdy and I wouldn't trust it with a heavy pot on it for an extended period of time.

The base is the same thickness as the sides, so I wouldn't recommend it for anything thick, unless you are going to stir constantly. The food would probably be scorched on the bottom.

I'm sure it would without any damage to knife. I've not tried it. But from just handling the knife it seems like it would be very durable. If its' contact with the heat is simply cutting a food, it should be fine.

I use it for soups such as pumpkin soup etc. You should be fine with gravy and soups.

They are very durable with care. Mine is several years old and still serviceable but showing extreme wear as my wife beat the bottom with metal fork. Usually destroys a skittle in a month. Wash well, inside and out and do not use metal tools in it. Do have problem with egg sticking some. I really like the twenty dollar green pan (sold in various stores in the seen on TV section)just as well .

I used the spiral slicer for zucchini on the smallest setting and I steamed it and it did not fall apart. Also, I put it in soup and it did not fall apart.

No, I wouldn't consider it safe to make soup in this pan as it is heavy, and the depth is only 3 inches deep. It would be very risky to try to pour the soup into another container without it splashing & causing a burn.A much safer thing to do for soup is to make it in a slow cooker (crock pot), or in a kettle large enough on the stove. For either method, use a large, long-handled ladle to remove the soup.Hope this helps.

It does not hold liquids. A thick stew would probably be ok, but soup would leak out. I've asked Bento to design one with a better seal.

This is a wide mouth soup cup which is not what I expected. I ended up giving it to my daughter so I cannot answer your question. if you pack your lunch and do soup it would be good.

The All Clad Immersion Blender has a stainless steel shaft and sharp blades. It would be fine for heavy soups. I wouldn't recommend blending ice with it.
