Is it safe to make hot boiling soup in this polycarbonate plastic jar?

That Depends How You Manage It. When I Blend Hot Stuff I Make Sure The Top Covers It Well And In Addition I Put A Heat Protecting Glove On The Top And Hold It Hard. The Jar Is Fine But The Cover Is Plastic And Heat Makes It Loose And Soft So You Could Potentially Burn Yourself. Just Be Cautious.

You would only be complicating an easy process. Plus, you want to use boiling water for tea. By the time you put the boiling water in the reservoir and pump it through the tea bag, your tea will be lukewarm. Also, harmful chemicals can leech out of plastics, especially when you add boiling water. I can't remember if this product is BPA free, but that is not the only harmful chemical in plastics. Save your money.

The finished product is very fine and, using the filter,, should be OK.The soup does come out very hot so watch the temperature !

The boiling liquid doesn't touch the lid as it boils but I don't know if it's BPA free. The top is plastic and touches if you pour the liquid while it's still hot.

It is plastic and I have blended hot food in it.Not sure I would put it in Microwave to reheat food.Metal mixer would be deterrent.Other smaller containers fine.

I've had a braun immersion blender with a plastic guard and it's held up just fine in hot food. I've even pureed soup right in the pot on the stove and no problem. I prefer the plastic guard for use on non-stick pans, so I know the guard isn't affecting the finish.

Hello,Yes, it is made for canning and preserving. So, you can put boiling water in the jar. Thank you for your interest.Calli Books

It's plastic; so adding boiling water is going to leach something. How much I cannot tell you, maybe nearly nothing, maybe a lot. I can definitely recommend that you don't use this for boiling water unless it's a life-or-death situation. This is a canteen made for drinking water that's normally not above room temp. It's best utilization is as such.

I would expect that, yes, you can pour hot, even boiling, water directly into the container. Mind you, I haven't tried this, but the plastic it's made of is, I believe, heat resistant.

Cap is made of plastic. I don't know how heat resistant it is but I wouldn't try boiling water with the cap on.

Yes. This blender puree hot liquids for soups. The glass is resistant to high temperature and I have to confess that, as the glass is weight, I have changed it for one made of plastic and it still work perfect and also resistant to high temperature. I consider that this is one of the best buy that I have made. I hope this help you.

I personally would not pour boiling water in this container. As I mentioned in my review from a few years ago, the one I purchased (as a replacement for one that I got in the 90's) broke the first time I poured very hot- about 200 degrees (but not boiling) into it. Manufacturer's changed the formula for making "tempered" glass and this new formula doesn't seem to be able to take the "thermal shock" that the old glass formula could take. (I made ice tea with almost boiling water in the old glass pitcher for over a decade until it broke when I dropped it on the floor). Several years ago Consumer Reports did an article about this topic, and their research indicated this was happening because of the change in the glass formula. If you research this topic online you will find information about this issue.

I don't see why not, but I've never had a problem with the plastic container. Plus, you'd have to find a glass one that fit just right inside the heating chamber.

I have one and although I have not yet put it in the dishwasher (the manual says just rinse and repeat... yeah right, I wish it was that simple), when you think about it all the materials in this are made to handle boiling hot water. So of course it is dishwasher safe. It's not going to melt in there like some thermoplastics will. On a side note, I have found that rinsing it as the manual suggests is not adequate. Oils/grease will build up and, yeah, since you pour boiling water in there you're probably not risking disease, but I don't like to see a waxy looking buildup on the walls of this thing so I find myself wanting to wash it.

This plastic is very rigid and I wouldn't put a "hot" liquid in it. I make sure there is room temperature fluid in when I add brewed tea to made flavored tea.

Although the Owner Manual says it is "Dishwasher Safe", it cautions not to use the "SANI" setting, as high temperatures could damage the jar.The blending jar on the Model 51103 is a hard, clear plastic that has the look and feel of polycarbonate. I wouldn't seriously consider putting the jar into a dishwasher, as even hot tap water can cause such plastics to craze, i.e., develop hundreds of tiny internal cracks. The jar won't disintegrate, but it's clarity will be permanently degraded and its strength will be significantly reduced, so that it might shatter more easily if dropped.
