Intended use is auto emergency kit. Will these stay good even though exposed to high heat temperatures? Worry oils may turn rancid...

That's why I bought mine. Got 2 of them just incase I was stuck on the side of the road and got hungry. Ended up eating one when it stormed and I was stuck in a park and ate another one about a year after when two of my tires popped and I had to wait almost 2 hours for a tow truck because I was in the middle of no where on Christmas. Since I usually park in the heat and my car becomes a boiler so they were warm while eating but it wasn't bad. Actually ended up buying more for the occasional snack or trip camping.

It will stay good as long as the package maintains its vacuum. Mine had pin-hole air leak upon arrival and I ended up returning it.

I use them on my laboratory hotplate nearly every day with no ill effects. Of course an oil bath would likely be better and reduce thermal stresses somewhat, however mine work just fine directly on the hotplate surface which reaches 400*C.

They should be ok vacuum sealed. Maybe store them in the fridge or freezer. I keep mine in their original packaging in my pantry and have not had any problems with melting. And I keep my home pretty warm. The only concern would be if there is an ingredient that would go rancid and make you sick. But I don't see anything just glancing at it, that stands out as a problem there.

I know that they can stand a lot of heat, but why take the chance? This would be over a lot longer period at a very high temperature and since it's not difficult to just remove them, why not be on the safe side?

They can definitely withstand 500 degrees. They are cast iron and nearly indestructible. The only thing that survived when my house burned was my cast iron pans. They survived a heat that melted or warped everything else made of metal. After sitting the ashes and rain for a couple of weeks, I rescued them, scrubbed off the rust, reseasoned and reused them for another 20 years. Just don't put a hot pan under cold water. It will crack. If fact avoid water, detergent and scrubbing as much as possible to build up a non-stick coating. I have had great results with this method: I wipe the pan out with a clean damp cloth, put in a dab of coconut oil (Avoid olive or other oils/fats with a low smoking point for seasoning the pan.) and sit it back into a hot oven or on a low burner until it is completely dry and the oil has melted. I then use a paper towel to spread the oil and remove any excess then put it back in a (preferably warm) oven. Over time a layer of carbonized oil will built up on the surface of the pan making it nearly non-stick. Scrubbing will remove this coating and it will take a while to build it back up.

I have never tried using them on a heat source. Don't think I'd want to. I'd like to keep them shiny and in optimum shape for measuring tools.

When kept in cool and dry storage, I've kept them for at least several months. Don not expose to warm temps like keeping in your car. The gum seems to break down and when you pop it in your mouth it just melts.

I wash them weekly in the washer with my clothes, so they should be fine in that regard. They aren't waterproof, per se, more like..resistant. In my line I get a lot of fuel on my hands and this keeps most of it off, but there is definitely a dampness.

It is my understanding that these oils are made for that exact purpose. I am actually a soaper so not positive about the temps. I have ordered things directly from snappy, great customer service, you may want to direct your questions there.

I really doubt anything bad should happen, as long as they did not get too hot. Follow the instructions on the package they should be fine.

Yes they are. I got a pair of my own for my car, and I LOVED them. They are extremely durabale and are coated with polyethylene on the back wich is like the silver duck tape you'd use for pressure-sensitive things and they are weather-resistant. I have drove with those over 90* F and under 30*F and through heavy storms and dry humidity, and they are still in perfect condition. If you really want those, I highly recommend getting them, and don't worry about the air blubbles you might develope upon putting them on, cause the heat will flatten them out. Hope I helped answering your question!! :)

Trust me, I live in Nevada. If they last here. they will last in florida ! Our summers here are insanely Hot ! They will last inside your car just fine.

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

They're well insulated....I use them to feed the fire in my wood burning stove. I imagine they would be fine in steam,at least for a short period of time. They are probably not designed for long exposure to moisture.

The chemicals used could be bad, but that would be highly unlikely. Check the date printed on the package to see if it has expired, the have a 2-3 year life. 1. When opening the package shake very well oxygen is needed to start the reaction. Keep the package dry, if it gets wet I have noticed it will reduce the reaction. I sometimes will place them over the car heater with the air blowing on them to excellerate the chemical reaction. I have tried all brand types a by far I get great results with this brand.

With all due respect, it's more a question of: "Will the batteries survive the temperatures. If the car is in a garage there's a good chance of success. If it's outside all the time I wouldn't want to depend on working batteries or flashlight. I would call the manufacturer of the batteries you intend to use and ask them. They can be much more specific.

Check with the manufacturer, but personally I wouldn't leave anything out in such heat.
