Can they hold boiling water?

I wouldn't think so. They're made from a semi-flexible plastic so definitely don't put them on heat/flame.

Lukewarm won't be a problem. It is sturdy bpa free enviro plastic. I wouldn't store boiling water in there but I use very hot tap water to clean it on occasion and it's not a problem.

I wouldn't use them for boiling hot items...they do go through the dishwasher safely and leave no tastes

Linda, sorry I do not know...These glasses have not been put to any type of heat test. The density of the glass is greater than that of a regular glass. I trust someone will be of greater knowledge/information. I am guessing they could handle boiling water with no problem...beyond that???

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

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

Not really, they are designed to explode under pressure. I really doubt they would hold water.

Yes, they hold water for ever! This set is not worth it! Dont buy it! Super cheap!

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.

i have read that it can handle high temperature -40f upto 212f , but i myself would not risk putting in boiling water.

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.

I am not sure. I suppose you could but I don't think you could get enough water in the bottom. You might end up boiling the ones on the bottom. Does that make sence?

No, they're not strong enough for boiling water (which would heat them too hot to be safe for use anyway) and would melt in a conventional oven. Try microwaving in 30 second intervals until they're as warm as you want them.

I have placed them in boiling water before to heat contents. Just don't let the bag rest against the hot pan out of the water and only Boil long enough to to heat the contents

Yes. They hold the heat well. I have a gas cook top and I am so glad I have these pan. I got them several years ago and I plan to use them for the next 20 years. They pour nicely...nothing drips over the edge. Glass top lets me see what is happening inside. A tip though...I wash the lids with out submersing them because the water will leak in around the glass and rim...you'll get that with any glass lid. I wash and dry them right away to keep their shine. Love these pans!

I would imagine they would get too hot to hold - we only use them for chilled or room-temp beverages. But, you could get or make some kind of cozy to keep the heat from your hand...

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.
