I'm planning a hot soup shooter for an upcoming party. How are these at handling hot soup?

I suggest to soak the cups in warm water (not HOT, but little warmer than luke-warm) before pouring the hot soup...And yet, may be the soup could be not boiled hot hot...

I assume they would be okay, but remember that it's not really insulated, so don't do anything hotter than you would handle with bare hands. Warm soup would be better than very hot.

I dont think it would work. The plastic is the same kind as you find in hard plastic drink cups used for bar service. However I have washed them in the dishwasher top,rack a nd they didnt melt. Still wouldnt ude them for really hot soup...too dangerous to hold i think. Gazpacho yes, hot soup no.

They are very flimsy. I personally would not use them for that. At best,you would a need napkin to shield the heat.

I think that depends slightly on the level of heat that you're using. I use them on an electric range, and if you crank it up to full, they can get a bit uncomfortable to handle. They don't burn you just by touching them, but you'd grab a towel or mitt before picking it up. Otherwise they don't get particularly hot, and I pick up the pan to stir things without any problems (even at about 3/4 heat, which is the highest I usually ever go).

I have vacuumed packed them and put them in my bug-out bags. I have had them in now for two years and do not want to open them for at least another two years. They are great in soups and make a great vegetable beef soup.

They hold about 5oz according to the box. They are small and GLASS with no handles...If the soup is hot, probably not a good idea as they would be hard to hold.There is no heat instructions in the box...so I would think that they are for tasting small cool or cold foods. There are ceramic type tasting dishes soldhere at Amazon that might work better.

It sort of depends on what you're cooking. If it's something with a lot of steam like a soup or pasta, the handles can get a little warm. Usually they are fine to handle without a mitt, but this is assuming you don't use high heat for a long time. Comparative to other cookware, I think the handles stay fairly cool.

I have made chocolate shot glasses with them, using melted chocolate, so I do know that they will stand up to heat, if that was what you were wondering~ I hope that helps?

For me, they never cooked. Had them on there for a while, say 5 to 7 minutes and they were like warm at best. With the party getting ready to start, we nuked them and put hot dogs back on there. Have not tried it a 2nd time.

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 I would try boiling hot soup, but soup that's cool enough to eat should be fine.

Yes, they can be used for hot soup. Restaurants have put my hot soup in these containers for to go orders as well as leftovers.

Keith, my friend shot me with one so I could really see just how effective these are... I can just about say that I would rather be shot with a .45 hollow point... these thing are truly a little less than lethal! So they are definitely hot!!!

they work well in hot and sour soup. Shitakes work well also. Button mushroom not o much.

I use mine for stirring soups I make on the stovetop and making scrambled eggs all the time and have never had a problem. I can't say that I've heated them to 500 degrees, though.

I used these for French onion soup. I filled all 12 with the cooked soup then put them in the oven at 350 to toast and brown the top. They worked great.

This blender is not good for hot items, it will explode out of the top because the velocity is so high. It is better to wait till your soup has cooled then try blending it and reheating it in another manner.

They are pretty sturdy, so I believe they would handle something hot, just not boiling hot.

Yes, they handle heated things well. I prefer my soup in ceramics though so i mostly use these for salads, fruits popcorn, and ral.
