Can these withstand heat? If I put a hot pot or a hot lid, will the mat melt?

I have never used them for this purpose. I surmise that they would not withstand heat of that intensity and would probably be ruined. They are great for using as cutting boards especially when you have multiple items of different kinds to cut up and don't want them to mix with each other.

they withstand heat pretty well, but not super hot. They can warp if you get them too hot.

I use them as cutting boards not pot holders. They are pretty tough but may warp with excessive heat.

Pots can withstand heat up to 400F. Boiling water is not close to the limit. See:http://www.calphalon.com/Pages/Content/Use-And-Care/Simply-Calphalon-Nonstick.aspx

I doubt that it will withstand the heat. I received the lid, which was missing, either in February or March of 2015. As of right now, the lid is warped. I am located in South Florida. I hope this information is helpful.

The description of the mat I purchased says it could resist up to 480 degrees. I don't know for sure if this one will resist the same temperature.

Yes, but don't pour hot water directly into them. Fill them with cool tap water, then heat in a microwave oven to minimize the risk of cracking due to sudden thermal expansion. The same goes for cooling... Wash them only after they have cooled, and don't wash in hot water when they are cold. (I learned all this the hard way.)

they should; they are a sturdy plastic and microwave safe. they will not melt. but they are primarily for mixing. i love them! wish i had had them years ago!!

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.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

I haven't personally used them for hot beverages, but if you're looking for an alternative to plastic, I know that glass mugs designed specifically for hot beverages are available. I'll brew a pot, and pour it in the glass and confirm whether or not it can withstand high temps. Great question.

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

Yes. I haven't tested them in an oven hotter than 350 but I think they can withstand up 400 degrees. I don't recall seeing that info in the box.

I would think that they would be heat resistand because they are thick and sturdy. However I would think that the constant use of placing heat on it would dry the wood out and they would become brittle... I don't now for sure. I was more than pleased with the construction of this placemat and it's durability.

I use these bowls to heat soup and other items in the microwave, I put ice cubes in the hot soup to cool it down and have not had any issues with cracking. They get very hot and do not crack or break. They seem to be very durable.I don't think you would have any cracking issues with the cold milk.

Keep these away from your stovetop, they are not heat resistant at all. I can't really complain since they are inexpensive and are made of plastic. Just be warned.

They have plastic handles which I think would melt. But if you ask the manufacturer they would know best

These are like stoneware. But using pot holders works well. I haven't seen any damage from the heat.

Not if you are going to use them on it. It is a molded plastic, very sturdy but cannot take hot items.
