Can these handle boiling liquids ?

If you are thinking of using the microwave to boil water in these bowls, I would recommend against it. If it didn't break it would be too hot to handle and could crack when you take it out and put it on the counter. It would probably be okay to pour boiled water into the bowl, as long as you have a spoon in it or something to "temper" the hot liquid hitting the surface of the (cooler) bowl.

Yes! They should be able to! I just don't know how much heat they CAN take. They definitely are not as heat resistant as original pyrex, which was made with borosilicate glass while this stuff is made with soda/lime glass. Just not as good!

Yes Tom- in the microwave they can but not on the stove top. I believe they can withstand temps in the oven up to 450-500 degrees. I have been baking in the oven at about 425 F and they are fine. Hope this helps.....

Yes. Pyrex can handle anything poured into it . They are not pans and should not be put on the stovetop. Use in the microwave very carefully and not to boiling!!

I don't think it could handle boiling water. It doesn't mention water temperature in the enclosed instructions one way or the other. But it's specifically meant for outdoor use on a hose bib, so that would obviously exclude boiling water. I could imagine that warm water would be fine, but it's an all plastic construction, I would be very surprised if this would withstand actually boiling water.

Yes they can but depends on how long you nuke it. If you're warming then no. If you're boiling then yes.

Definitely not. And they do drip from the spout when you pour so you need to have a cloth under them to soak up the tea.

I cannot answer about the boiling water, I can tell you that they are not the same thickness as a regular canning jar. They appear to be somewhat thinner.

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

Yes. It's very thick sturdy glass. You can put it in the oven so boiling liquids should not be a problem.

I haven't personally used them for hot beverages, but if you're looking for an alternative to plastic, I know that glass mugs designed specifically for hot beverages are available. I'll brew a pot, and pour it in the glass and confirm whether or not it can withstand high temps. Great question.

These get water hot, but I would NOT use them to boil water. They are really used for heating sealed meals (e.g. MREs) and possibly sealed beverages; not boiling water.

Don't know because I've never tried hot liquids in it. You might check with the company that makes them.

Yes you can use them for hot liquids, however, I would avoid extreme temperature changes because they are glass and they will break.

I honestly don't know. I wash them on the upper rack in the dishwasher. I use them for food storage in the freezer and refrigerator. Personally I wouldn't put boiling water into plastic

Yes you can put hot liquids in it. I use mine for home brewing and often use it for sparge water at 170°F

I don't know the answer to that, but I can tell you that I use them in the hood range above my stove. Boiling water for a long time tends to temporarily short them. I'd say you'll need to have a good seal around them. I believe the issue is moisture and not heat.

That's a good question. I would say yes with hot tap water, but not so sure about boiling water.

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

As far as I can tell they need to be made with boiling water...never tried any other way. I've been buying them for quite some time, and we love them.
