Anyone know if it can handle hot food?

Absolutely. I've used it to blend hot gravy straight from the oven roaster. cooked veggies and all.

I make Leek Soup quite often and after I boil my potatoes and leeks together I just drain the liquid and put them in the blender. No problems so far.

It looks like it would be fine - I just tend not to put metallic things in my dishwasher...so no personal experience. It truly keeps food hot and it's easy to clean no matter what I have put in there.

I don't use it for hot food, I use a cold pack. I would say it is not insulated so I don't think it would keep hot very long at all.

Yes, it works great on hot items. I have used it with various soup recipes with great success! I love this little machine!

I haven't tried it and don't plan to. It appears to me that it would not be able to handle that kind of direct heat.

Yes they can handle warm (even hot) food but you cannot use in microwave or oven.

They do withstand hot food, my only complaint was that that they @ 9" diameter were somewhat small for a full meal. I come from a family that eats lots.

I use it in all my cooking /frying and it is very stable at high temperatures. I even use it for fries!

I would be hesitant to serve anything hot in it, which you probably wouldn't do anyway. Tin teapot and cups would become hot also. But something cold or warm should be okay.

It's too fragile for direct heat in my opinion. And the handle would be quite hot. Not meant for that.

It does get hot. You won't be able to have anything on top of it and need to have some space behind it. But the oven is great and I definitely recommend it!

Absolutely! The griddle does a great job of distributing heat evenly over its surface. It's thick enough so that I have not had any trouble with hot spots.

Sure, but like anything else it will get very hot, so take precautions. Also, because it's metal, it has more of a tendency to get hotter and whatever food sits on it may not cook the way you want it internally. Compare it to making food in glass baking dishes versus metal ones....it cooks a little differently.

I got this item for traveling for our dog, because it folds flat for the glove compartment etc. I think you could serve hot items in it with no problems, if camping for instance. But not boiling hot items.

Probably not. It holds the heat of cooked foods, such as tortillas or pancakes, pretty well, why would you want to heat it, its a "keeper" not a heater.

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

I haven't specifically made hot pot, but there's really no reason that I can think of why you couldn't. It doesn't have a huge capacity, but I have used it for a coconut milk based Cambodian fish soup because it holds it at a specific temp.
