Can this withstand heat?

No. You can't use it in the microwave, so I never used it for anything hot. I love the design but have broken 2 and switched to silicone which bounces.

The bottom of the glass has these words embossed. NOT FOR COOKING USE NO MICROWAVE USA The lids are plastic.

I've only used it in the microwave for melting butter or warming milk. Still, I LOVE this measuring cup. Have bought several for myself and grown children, and keep spares on hand for bridal showers, etc. With no handle it nestles nicely inside my 2-cup measuring cups that have handles. I prefer embossed markings as they don't come off in the dishwasher like Pyrex markings do. Whenever I come across embossed markings in antique or specialty stores, I always buy them.

I don't think I've ever tried to use it in the microwave. Others say not to try.

Definitey! It's basically a big piece of metal. It stands up well to heat. Just be careful when handling. Expect it to get super hot.

Absolute not. It will shatter over direct heat of any type, gas or electric.

as hot as your oven can get. It will handle the heat, but make sure to use a thick pot holder when taking it out. I burned my hand through a thin pot holder.

I guess it depends on how hot but its plastic so I would not think it would hold up to too high a temp.

No absolutely not! The outside cover would not stand up the the heat from an oven.

It's a big, albeit thin, slab of marble so should be as heat resistant as any rock. :) Of course extended high heat with high humidity may discolor it and any acidic liquids left to drip on it will begin to pit it.

My first response would be yes but always be sure that it doesn't get too warm. The heat may even irritate the area.

Not with a fire in it. All of the connector pieces are made of plastic and probably would not hold up to the heat.

It can handle the heat, no problem. Only complaint is the plunger pops up when you actuate. Broken one light bulb and hit me in the face.

Don't know if you received my update. I am located in South Florida.I doubt that it will withstand the heat. I received the lid, as it was missing, either in February or March of 2015. As of right now, the lid is warped, no longer fitting in the left front.

I don't believe the plastic insulation could sustain that kind of heat. The insulation is very similar to bubble wrap used in shipping packages. Even if you were fortunate enough to not have smoke and a fire from using it with so much heat, I suspect it would quickly melt the plastic and lose most of it's insulation value. Just my opinion. I only use it on conventional heating ducts.

I don't know how it could withstand a house fire. I am terribly disappointed in mine. The hinge pins are made of plastic. It would appear to me that they would melt fairly quickly and there would be no structural integrity. I guess they have tested it, and their claims are accurate. But, the top fell off of mine after a year of use. I would not trust it with my important documents. I now use mine to store odds and ends that have no value.

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 this product will indeed withstand heat. We had used it on a part on our car (the high pressure hose) and it was fixed right away. To this day, we have no problem with hose. We gave this to our mechanic and he uses it all the time in some of the repairs that he needs to do and even says that it is awesome

I guess you could but I probably wouldn't use it for that due to the chemical smell and it's not really made for that. Also not sure if it could stand up to the heat.
