Would these be safe for using over a pot to melt chocolate?

Absolutely. They'd be perfect for that, over a pot of boiling water. Or in a microwave.

It would work to make a double-boiler with a glass bowl, but it is taller and narrower than the pot I use for that purpose. I use a dutch oven and a large stainless steel bowl to melt chocolate. If you've got a medium glass bowl, it will be fine. I use this pot to heat up soup, milk for cocoa, cream when I am making caramel candies, etc.

They are definitely heavy enough to use over a fire but there is a drawback. The clip on handles will melt if subjected to too much direct heat. In using them on my gas cooktop in my RV I once used too high of a flame and started getting damage to the bottom edge of the handle next to the side of the pan. Lesson learned. Also, they are an awfully nice pan to subject them to the blackening etc. you get with campfire cooking. I carry a couple of smaller good old fashioned cast iron skillets and dutch oven in the basement of the RV for campfire cooking.

I don't see why not. My wife has used them for Jello Molds and making jazzy layered Ice Cream desserts. She likes how you can squeeze them thin to pour batters and liquids into muffin pans and little molds. Hey, I forgot to mention that I actually bought 2 sets of these bowls. One for me and one for her. We've had some hot stuff in them and they're none the worse for use. Good luck.

They are oven safe. I don't think id use it in that manner though. In a pinch it might do I guess.

I would bet that they would melt, they are rubber. They are great for taking a rack of food off of a fire, and I'm sure a skillet, but I wouldn't expose them to the actual burning coals or to a fire.

Seriously doubt it. They're not a hard plastic and I would expect they might burn or melt.

yes, provided you put a baking sheet under them for stability. Be aware that these are very small, as in small chocolate size. I thought they were bigger in the picture.

They should be fine but put them in a cool place so they won't melt.Lindt is delicious chocolate. I believe they come in a sealed box or at least mine did. Good luck.

No i would not try chocolate or cheese in this pot. The metal is thin compared to what you would traditionally use for cheese and chocolate(a thick ceramic pot) for good distribution of heat and long warming time so you do not burn your cheese or chocolate. I would stick to broths and meat when it comes to metal pots.

According to manufacturers instructions they are not safe, nor recommended for use on glass top stoves. The imperfections in the porcelain can scratch your glass top and if they boil over can also cause your glass cook top to fuse.

Good question! I don't remember seeing anything in the literature that said they are oven safe. They have a plastic like insulating material on the handles that is quite heat resistant, but to what temperature I am not sure. With that said I absolutely love the set. I did notice a previous answer said they can only be used with electric stovetop, which is incorrect. They can be used on any Electric or Gas stove top (mine is an induction type and these things work great on it).

If they don't soak in the ice cream causing them to melt---but are sereved on the side---I think they would be strong enough. I bought them as a gift for my friend to use with her grandchildren in hot chocolate. I was surprised at how strong they were. Wanda M.

No, they don't melt, you're safe. I put them into my coffee right as the coffee comes out of the machine so it'll be drinking-temperature when the cup is done brewing. Really nice stuff!

absolutely fine to use over gas burner, we do it all the time, and in the oven. However, be careful with the lids, because they do not appear to be the same quality glass as the pots. One of ours shattered when subjected to rapid cooling

I used it to make Salted Whiskey Carmles. It worked ok. It doesn't melt at high temps, which is good but it does dispurse heat quickly. Which can be bad if you have something in it that cools quickly, like Carmles. If your chocolate will stay liquid for a while this would work just fine.

I think these would work great as chocolate molds. I use them to make little guest-sized soaps.
