Are they high heat resistate? I would like to use them for boiling sugar and paste mixes.

Although I am not an expert... I believe that most silicone is safe up to 500 degees. I have used them in a skillet at medium high heat without any damage to them. Hope this helps.

silicone is good up to 500 degrees F - sugar at that temperature would be way past caramel. You'll really love the smooth surface - no lump from the hanle to snag your stuff.

They will work fine- but they do warn about using them at a high temperature for an extended period of time as the constant heat and pressure of the induction stove top can cause the pot and stove to fuse together, and that is no bueno. If you want to cook something at a high temp for hours, don't use these pots- but other than that you're good to go.

I think they are made of polypropylene. The hottest liquid I've used them for is very hot tap water (about 115 degreesF); never tried anything hotter. But they are VERY thin so I wouldn't try anything hot enough to burn me.

I have one of these,i don't know how heat resistant it is. But I styled it using boiling water and had no issues

sorry.. I don't really know.. i was them all the time in the diswasher and my wife warms them in a baby food jar warmer that "boils" / "steams" water over the bottle and never had a problem. the top are DEFINITELY NOT heat resistant though.. do not dishwash or microwave them.

I am sorry I don't know how much heat they will tolerate. I use mine in a toaster oven, straight on the rack and put hot dog, etc on top of them and bake. I like mine because I can wash them in the dishwasher, cut on them and they seem to hold up very well.

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).

It says in the product description above (when you scroll down frim top) that they are 100 percent heat resistant... folks need to understand, you should use lower settings though... high can damage it...

I use them on my gas range top and in the oven. They are VERY thin metal and heat up quickly and very hot. The handles get HOT as they are stainless (metal conducts heat). They are just an Ok pan for quick use. Very cheap, so expect them to not last very long.

I don't think that you should put these in boiling water. They might have chemicals in them or something.

Yes, they work just fine. That is what I have at home. I have no complaints and I think if you are going to cook something on high temp for hours-use a crock pot.

NO. They are great even to use in cooking when a larger quantity would go to waste. Would highly recommend!

I've got two of these I use. They work great. They can withstand high temperatures on the stove. That is not the issue. You must always remember to turn the stove on low and then slowly bring it up to desired temperature. Can't place these on a very hot burner. Will damage. Must start low and slow and then bring up. If you do that - they are great cooking vessels.

I wouldn't use them for boiling hot items...they do go through the dishwasher safely and leave no tastes

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!!

In my personal opinion no.. they are not that stick proof. They are truly a rare find and I highly recommend them for serious cooks.

Good question and one best suited to be answered by the Mfg. I have no idea as to the resistance to heat.
