Could these be used to hold hot food items, like chili?

More for cold desserts. This is cute to serve ice creams and other bite size mini desserts.

i thing so yes !!! i use it for desserts i never use it jet to put any thing hot.

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.

Hi, Ana! I'll be honest, I planned on using them for tomato soup and tossing mini grilled cheeses across the top... But they are really thin. I was afraid the plastic would melt:( You are better off with mini ceramic mugs or glass for chilli. Hope that helps!

No, I wouldn't think so. They are just plastic so would worry about them melting/warping or someone burning themselves by touching the outside of the cup containing hot contents. I would say the plastic is about the same as a clear plastic disposable plate.

Yes. This would work to hold average sized vegetables like tomates, potatoes, onions and the like.

I highly doubt it. They are mean to place hot food on and are really about decor. They are high class plastic with a metal rim all for looks.

I am not sure, but doubt it. I use them as soup and salad bowls. They can handle some heat, but are not as strong as Pyrex.

I don't see why not. They withstand temps over 600F. I know that I can hold something right out of the oven for a long period of time.

Yes. It will hold platters of hot food. I would not put something on it you had directly on the grill to cook with though, like a wok or something that was directly on the coals

I don't know for sure but I wouldn't think so. They are fabric. You could probably attach velcro to the sides and create some sort of lid that also has velcro to attach to the sides of it.

I would have to say no because they are only about an inch in diameter. I just don't think they would hold enough.

Probably. We used them for dry things, but somewhere I heard they are used for soup.

Hi. I have these for ice cream. But believe they would work great for hot soup The lids appear to be vented with a second layer beneath. Hope this helps!

Yes. I use mine to hold my baking sheets and a fairly heavy grill pan. I also use another one to hold my heavy metal-rimmed glass sauce and frying pan lids.

Yes! They would hold them just fine. We use them for pots and pans, but being a motorcycle rider, a helmet would hold up great!

I wouldnt put hot items in the cups especially if they are for little kids. The cups are great but I do not think they would be thick enough for hot items.

Sure, I use them myself for storing beans and rice. Use a moisture absorber with food products too. You can use them for ammunition storage as well.

They are not a thermos. Food will stay warm as long as it would in any storage container.

Although the lids are tight, I wouldn't trust them for carrying soup- maybe salad. Also, they are glass and I would be nervous about kids dropping them- they do break. They are great for leftovers.

No. They hold a typical spice container perfectly. Anything wider would not fit.
