Can this be used on plastic...like pretzel or peanut containers?

No it cannot. It will stick like a boss to metal, wood, concrete, terra cotta and I have stretched and used it on a formica table that I primed with spray primer first. I know this because I use a hard plastic dinner plate as a pallet and I can peel it off if I let a gob dry by accident.

No it won't - that's the best thing about it. As far as I know, the seal is not technically plastic anyhow, but silicone. But you'd be safe.

I use the tool to melt crayons.... The tool comes with a variety of tips.... Yes I do believe it can melt a plastic bottle.

Yes, I just used it for making peanut brittle. Be sure to wipe the tip off before the mixture hardens on it.

I did not use it for plastic...it gets hot but ..I would assume it would melt the plastic not leaving a clean cut

I bought a small pyrex glass bowl for leftovers that i use with this and food cooks evenly. But i also just throw in boxed frozen meals and they cook fine and use microwave safe plastic dishes, so i would guess any microwaveable plastic would work.

I used it on plastic. It did NOT remove all the adhesive, but did remove most of it.

I have never used them on plastic but I would THINK they would adhere just fine. it is really a great product in my opinion. Be sure to follow the instructions.

I wouldn't recommend using it on plastic - It's a heating tool, after all, and when plastic burns it can release toxic fumes.I'm /doubt/ it exists but if you can find a plastic that says it's safe to burn then I'm certain the hot knife could do the job nicely - Otherwise, I'd recommend getting a knife made for precise cutting, like X-acto knives and whatnot.

I have not tried to do that, but they should be OK if you're not cooking for long periods. I generally avoid putting ANY plastic in a microwave for a number of reasons.

I don't know. If you are using them for refrigerated items, or dried,, like herbs, flavored salts, etc.that would be fine. But I don't think you can can (sterlize) with plastic lids.

I haven't tried it with plastic. The manufacturer recommended metal so that is what I use.

No! Not in anything plastic. I've only used it to heat up a full tub of bath water. In in bucket? That would be trial and error. I guess it may be okay but watch it as the water get's hot and see if any damage is being done to the bucket!

Sorry, never used it for that. I use it for all interior plastic/vinyl, and just started trying it out on the tires. I bet you can get it cheaper at WalMart though....

I would not use it on anything where it can touch plastic. It may not affect it immediately, but this product, while excellent for cleaning actually metal electrical contacts is not the best for any contact with plastics. .. . . unless it is immediately flushed off with something like isopropyl alcohol. Even then. . . it might not be a good idea. Instead, try using something like Simple Green on a Q-tip and then follow that up with rinse.

If the kernals aren't too large they will pass through as holes are all over bottom and sides so with a shake or too should work.Fair size holes and shaped so whould work but you could always widen holes a bit if needed to make it work as it is plastic. My only concern is how hot kernels get might melt the plastic a bit.
