Is this blender pitcher safe for blending liquid hot off the stovetop? Is "BPA-free" as good as tempered glass? Could this melt?

I am quite sure it will work for blending anything hot, I have had the exact same blender with glass until glass jar broke, this is superior

I personally do not trust for very hot food or liquid. My preference is glass as the best choice.Unfortunately very few glass pitcher blenders are offered in contrast to polycarbonate, etc

The steamer from what I know is not BPA free. That answers that question for you. To deal with with the people who did not answer your question but advised you not to buy the product anyway, I want to give you my experience with this product. I love it. I use it almost every day. I have owned it for well over 8 months and have never had any melting troubles. I use this is a 3 qt Lodge Color Enameled Cast Iron Dutch Oven. It works beautifully in that. I think most people are using this on way to high of a heat. The silicone feat are rated to 500 deg and the plastic 400 deg F. That is my 2 cents.

I emailed Hamilton Beach last week and they finally got back to me (2 - 3 days, my foot). Anyway, the exact response from them says directly that there is no BPA in this model. Here is their exact response:Model 40911 does not contain BPA. The pitcher material is made of SAN (Styrene Acrylonitrile), which is an FDA approved plastic. -------------------So, it looks like you should be good to go. Now I gotta go and buy this thing, based on these reviews. :)

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.

The owners manual only says, "do not put boiling liquids in blending jar". The jar is plastic but I don't believe the water temperature in your dishwasher would hurt the jar assembly.

This is an intriguing idea to get away from the plastic blender container however, if your Vitamix is still within its warranty period, using a blender pitcher of another brand will undoubtedly void your warranty. Cool idea though...

I do not know if it is BPA...sorry....but I would definitely not use it for hot liquids. It is good for mixing light drinks without too much substance to them but would not expect any more out of it than that.

This plastic doesn't need BPA, but it has some horrible endocrine disrupters. Its the additives in the plastic to make it heat resistant. There's also a gasket around the stainless steel heating plate. I have no idea what that is made out of. Perhaps silicone??? but even then, silicone is not safe!!! google siloxanes!Then choose your poison if you want hot water conveniently. You could get a glass water kettle and heated on the stove, or in the microwave... Nothing is perfect!!!

I also hate having anything hot in plastic as well. However, it is plastic inside and out, with the exception of the blades and heat coil. The manual does not specify whether it's BPA--free or not, but it says that the body is made of: ABS, PP. You could contact LGLivart website to ask them. The hot slurry is only in there for 30 minutes before it beeps to empty the unit, though.

it is advertised as BPA free : "Keep an extra jar on hand for party drinks and entertaining. Reach for the Oster Plastic Jar for blending more. BPA-free plastic jar holds up to 6 cups." here: http://www.oster.com/parts-%26-accessories/blenders/004917-008-NP1.html

The pitcher itself does not contain any markings that would suggest that its BPA and phtalate free. The markings on the bottom specify only that its PP #5 recyclable.

glass but I've never had a problem with them breaking. or maybe you just wanted to make sure it was BPA free. i love it and mix a little with lemon in my ice water and it tastes like weak iced tea. very yummy!

I just did a live chat with Kitchenaid, and they stated (I printed the chat for my records) that all of their kettles have BPA free plastic on the wall of the kettles to protect them from mineral damage. I have read from many reviews that BPA free plastics are just as bad if not worse than BPA plastic when exposed to heat. Finding a safe/healthy option for an electric kettle is proving to be quite frustrating.

I don't know if the pitcher is bpa free. I had wondered that when i purchased it. But in the big scheme of things it really doesn't matter because you don't let the water sit in the pitcher anyway, it will dissolve your mineral cube faster. I transfer all the water i make to glass.

Can confirm that the plastics used are BPA free. I just chatted with KitchenAid and they confirmed its BPA free and that there are minimal amounts of plastics in the device

The plastic is all BPA free. Some liquid will touch the silicon plastic part on the lid. I never use the lid unless I put something hot in the glass. All parts are dishwasher safe and to make it last longer I turn my heated dry off. I really love this glass I use it everyday!!
