Are these good for boiled wontons?

If you want to eat arsenic, go ahead, they will work. Howver, all Vietnamese and most other rice, except for that from California, which has strict pesticide regulation, contains and is contaminated with toxic levels of arsenic. See current issue of ConsumersReports for more info. I was given a refund when I found this out and disposed of my supply. They were good however and worked well as un-fried or un-boiled spring rolls, again, if you want to eat arsenic! Remember Agent Orange? The ten years of defoliation during the Vietnam War? Well . . . . Decide for yourself!

Might work for boiled wontons - but had no luck with fried. Just made a mess.

no, these are food grade / have had no problems at all. I would still boil and filter after sitting a long while anyway. as you fill, pour a couple caps of Bleach in with it

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

Yes. They are great. I love them. Very fine to very coarse. Only about 25 cranks to a teaspoon on finest setting

I use them on my gas stove. You will find that the handles get hot. Good Luck!

Absolutely, I use them for tea, coffee, and coco. The handle stays cool and the drink stays hot.

Yes, they can be used on a gas stovetop but it depends on the size of the burner as well as the size of the pot. It takes a little while but it does work! The steel however isn't very heavy at the base so it depends on what you're boiling. Things like milk tend to leave a brown residue but other water-based liquids are easier. Hope this helps!

These pans are rated for well over 212 degrees so you should be able to boil water.

I have found them better for my purposes. They work on an electric stove wonderfully, and once treated are great for omelets, stir fry, cooking steakes, chops, etc. The 10" is my go to pan over even my non-stick almost every time. A wok will work better for a few thing. For electric stoves, I find these better than the flat bottom wok I purchased.

yes! this would be great for boiling water which you can then use for oatmeal, tea, coffee, hot chocolate. It will also work great for basic canned items. not sure I would use it to fry an egg though. temperature control is not optimal for that.

I have used them for heating instant oatmeal and soup. They stay cool and work great! Mine are yellow and have no stains after repeated use.

Are you boiling them long enough ? Cause a few times I had to boil them longer then one would think

Yes! I have used these for cold as well as hot coffee and hot tea. Never any problem!

Not sure. You would have to cook them longer. They may char on the outside before heating through.

I've never used them for hot liquids, but I am pretty sure you can . They are used for canning preserves, and they are usually hot when they are put in the jars.

Yes they are. I have a flat top stove and they work wonderfully. I really like these pans. Sometimes the handles on the lids get warm/hot. I always let them soak and hot water and they clean up nicely. I never put in the dishwasher. Hope this helps.
