Crazy question - does anyone have any experience using these cups for creme br&ucirc;l&eacute;e? Could they handle the heat of a torch?

The wire support and handles come off easily. One has to be careful when using these cups. Otherwise, they are wonderful.

Hi Shawn! I used these for a party, but I didn't put a hot liquid in them. If you are wanting to put something really hot in them, then I don't think this item would work. Warm, perhaps but nothing extremely hot. I hope this helps.

I have only used them to bake bread. Flan and creme brulee is not as heavy so can't advise.

They can hold hot liquid and if you only fill 1/2 way and they would work. I have used them for hit food and soup

Yes, they handle heated things well. I prefer my soup in ceramics though so i mostly use these for salads, fruits popcorn, and ral.

I have used these in the microwave to quickly reheat liquid for a minute, but have not tried them for any longer. They held up wonderfully. I caution to wash them on the top rack in the dishwasher because the heat from the dry cycle on the bottom rack will warp them. Hope this helps. :0}

I don't know if they are microwave safe, but I don't think these cups are appropriate for hot beverages. The cups are not insulated.

Personally, I would say, no. They just don't "look" like they would withstand the heat. I use them for my homemade creams and they are perfect for that. Actually, the sturdiest and best priced container I've found for this purpose.

No, I wouldn't think so. They are just plastic so would worry about them melting/warping or someone burning themselves by touching the outside of the cup containing hot contents. I would say the plastic is about the same as a clear plastic disposable plate.

Hi. I have these for ice cream. But believe they would work great for hot soup The lids appear to be vented with a second layer beneath. Hope this helps!

I don't think they would work well with alot of liquid in them. The bags have worked the best for me when I was "steaming" the contents (fish, vegetables, chicken, fruits) with their own juices and minimal additional liquid, in the oven, not over an open flame.

This might be a question that should be posed to the compAny directly. I can't imagine that these cups would God up under that heat, but I've never tried it.

I would say no. They aren't supposed to be exposed to extreme temperature changes and it seems to me a microwave would heat them too quickly.

I have microwaved in them, not seeing anything saying not too. They would be perfect for those, they are a little smaller than the usual mugs of this type, making it a more reasonable serving.

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.

I would say no...I was worrying about that too when I got them as I am making fruit slushes for our Cancer Support group and freezing them. I was look for a cup that had a little give to it that wasn't brittle and these are just perfect for my needs....

I have not. They seem to be pretty sturdy. I have only used them for liquids, flour, sour cream and shortening so far and have not scooped anything up with them, i have always placed the product into the cup.
