Can you add hot liquids to it?

Hello Lois, I never tried but I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem... I just replaced it with a Vitamix and it's like night and day... Very, very happy....

I would not advise adding hot liquids into any bpa-free plastic containers--just as I would not do such with plastic that includes bpa in it. Removing polycarbonate plastics (and epoxy resins) from plastics does not remove the toxicity. According to the Mayo Clinic, "Use alternatives. Use glass, porcelain or stainless steel containers for hot foods and liquids instead of plastic containers."I wish blender-makers would go back to simply using glass pitchers. They are easier to clean, too!

I don't know if I would add boiling hot liquids to it, but I have added hot liquids, poured slowly through the opening in the cap. As always the primary concern would be not to be splashed with the hot liquid. When I make homemade mayonnaise it calls for melted butter. I trickle it in through the top while the blender is running on "low." I have also pureed hot soups in my blender. Just don't overfill so it comes out the top. I hope this answers your question.

Yes...be careful to hold the top down with a dish towel before you turn it on...be very careful...

I know you can drink cold drinks, haven't tried hot- they are plastic- so I'm not 100% sure.

I already have hot and cold water and it can be mixed.I don't think the panel itself can warm it up.

Actually, no. To support such a high temperature such, I think the product inside would have to be some metal. I would not put inside the container as hot liquid. The main use I give is for cold drinks.

It's possible to hold hot drinks in it, but it's not a thermos bottle and therefore won't hold the temperature. I'd recommend the insulated version if you would like your drink to stay hot.

I don't think you can add extra water. You just add what you need at the time.

Don't know because I've never tried hot liquids in it. You might check with the company that makes them.

I have never put hot liquid in the bottle. It won't keep it warm and the bottle will be hot. I wouldn't put hot liquid in it.

I haven't done that but I think it can handle hot chocolate. It may be hard to clean the piece that dispenses liquid so I will stick with just water

I haven't tried that, but as long as it is mixed well I think you could. I have only put water in mine and I love it.

Rick Parker said it well (previous comment) You can only boil water in this hot pot, then add to cup or bowl for beverages or soup. Do not put any other ingredients into the water chamber. Hope that helps!

Won't be too hot to drink, but well enough as a hot drink. Even you place simple cold water on it, it will turn to warm temperature.

You can add it directly to the bag, but would be better to dump the contents into a better container to add the boiling water in my opinion. The size and shape of the bag would make it difficult to add the boiling water without scalding yourself. The bag would hold it.

You have to add water, but you can either add water and then microwave, or just add boiling water to them.

Yes, you can put hot water in it... not BOILING or you will melt the plastic tank. You could also do a water vinegar mix if you have some stubborn stains. Just using hot water does the job as well... you don't need to buy those other liquids.

I haven't tried. But it says on the instruction that it is not for use with hot liquids. It's for cold liquids only and hot liquids may cause burns.
