Can these be used for pouring hot syrup into a cool dish with a food item and using a hand mixer? Like when making divinity or fudge?

I haven't personally tried it (my cabinets are COLD and I take out dishes/plates, whatever beforehand to get to room temp.) - I wouldn't think it would be a problem - I did hear about issues w/the new Pyrex exploding when put on cold surfaces, etc. - I bought these as replacements when the set I had got broken when my shelf that they were on fell :( - they are a little purple/lilac tint, not completely clear. Wish I could help more (personally, I have some old timey mixing bowls from back in the day that were used to such temp. differences)

Yes these are high density Pyrex Bowls. I would however NOT recommend going from a hot oven to cold water as these will crack/break.

I believe so, yes. the glass is thick and seems to go well from fridge to hot in a short rapid time frame.

I believe I read in reviews that you can make jello with these molds and I'm not sure if I read that they had trouble getting them out of the mold perhaps? I never used them for jello. They were great for candy melts (for party favors) and ice (for the punch).

I believe so, but I haven't actually done it. Just hand mixing so far. They are almost as sturdy as the similar ones I have from Williams-Sonoma.

Yes, you can definitely use with a hand mixer. I always do and no problems. Just be patient when mixing since the bowls are not very deep.

I've not had any trouble with stuff spilling out of them while mixing - The sides are very steep which I think helps keep everything in the bowl, unless you just completely overfill them. I've used whisks and a hand mixer in the largest bowl and it's worked well.

I would think it would work, it is good strong quality stainless flatware. I bought it because it was large with widely spaced tines (compared to other options) to use for mixing pancake batter and similar heavy mixes that don't want to be beaten to a froth with a whisk or mixer. It works great for that purpose.

I don't use this set for that purpose, I think it might have an adverse effect on the rubber. I use an all stainless bowl or glass for hollandaise or chocolate. but for all my other mixing these bowls are great! Even with the smallest bowl I can whisk up a salad dressing and not need to hold the bowl.

I'm not sure. I bought the dishes to use for serving but understand they can be used for baking. Just remember, if you do bake in them they will be very hot!

I've never done this, but I would think that they would be OK. Perhaps a bit awkward since the handle is not like one that you would find on a mug. It sticks straight out to the side so the grip would be horizontal rather than verticle. The handle is hollow so it does not get a hot as the bowl part. They are really awesome bowls though, so don't let this hold you back from ordering. We use them a lot and are quite happy with them.

I used mine for mini cupcakes not jello and they didn't come out I even tried using non stick stuff several different batches and types still did not work I ended up throwing these things out!!!

Yes but they are very tiny, they would hold a mouthful. I use them to do mini shrimp cocktails -- a little bit cocktail sauce, wedge of lime, sprig of cilantro and two shrimp. We have also done chocolate mousse with mini silver spoon.

They can hold hot liquid and if you only fill 1/2 way and they would work. I have used them for hit food and soup

They are very clumpy and have to be separated before putting them in the mix. I would not try to use them in a hand mix, only in a motorized mixer.

C. Franceschelli, The OXO dispenser is perfect for pouring syrups etc. However, you will have to wipe the tip of the dispenser off after each use. An olive oil glass bottle may be more affective.

I'd agree with the previous answer. If they're just being used for oatmeal, cereal or stirring coffee, I think it'd be fine to use them. Scooping frozen ice cream from a container, however, wouldn't work. Hope this helps give you a point of reference.

Yes, I've used it to make whipped cream without problems. Have not had any need to chill the bowl ahead of time - whips much faster than a handheld mixer.

I'm not sure what kind you mean. You can make sauces. It has an attachment for that. I made some pomegranate juice that I turned into a syrup for desserts.
