How heat resistant is this bag? I know the description says it's good for straining chicken stock, but can it handle boiling temperatures?

The bag is made of food grade nylon (nylon 6 or nylon 6,6). Nylon is used in many tea bags and the melting point of this type of nylon is between 428 f and 516f for nylon 6 and 6,6 respectively. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nylon

I think it can handle boiling temperatures as I use it to filter the soy milk freshly made from the soymilk maker which heats the milk up to boiling temperature. I am not sure how well it will hold up if you were to keep the bag in the pot while it is boiling.

The bags are made of a very sheer fine mesh (organza). I am not sure about boiling water.

I have used them for veges and home made soup, on Med heat. You need to partially thaw first to make sure there are no holes in the bag. Probably would work for Spaggeti sauce, but I wouldn't boil the water then put the bag and contents in if its a rapid boil. Have to experiment.

Yes, I would say rolling boil is high heat. I wasn't aware that it wasn't recommended for high heat. I had no problem when I've used it, but I haven't had a chance to use it more than once yet.

Hello, I use this item to make large quantities of tea - I submerge everything except the handle. I don't know how heat resistant that part is, but it seems like it would hold up. Hope that helps!

I have not tried what you ask but I would guess that the rubber handles are not heat resistant. I did not see anywhere on the product that the handles were silicon/heat resistant. You could send an email to Bright Springs and ask.

Yes it will hold boiling water. It is a silicone material and you can use it for hot food or for drinking hot coffee or tea.

I tried putting a pot of boiling water on it and that didn't seem to do it any harm. Silicone can be quite heat tolerant but I'm not sure if this particular item would stand up to oven temperatures.

You can add it directly to the bag, but would be better to dump the contents into a better container to add the boiling water in my opinion. The size and shape of the bag would make it difficult to add the boiling water without scalding yourself. The bag would hold it.

Yes, it can. In fact, this nut milk bag can be used with very hot and boiling liquids, such as soups, broths and teas.

Greetings,While it's a great thermometer the plastic housing makes it unsuitable for being exposed to continuous heat... This model is best suited for testing temperatures intermittently and not left in the food while cooking...

No. That wasn't an issue at all. I cooked chili in it and took it to a church for my son's team meal (football). I didn't slop any chili, burn myself, or anything. I did put it on a towel in a laundry basket, but the bands held the lid on well. I really like mine a lot. Just watch the temp. I ruined a whole pot of soup by setting it on warm instead of low. Warm is to keep hot soup warm. Low is for cooking.

to fine for straining, good for picking up the scum from boiling soup stock

I really like this pot. I have only had it for 3 months. I have used it for chicken meals, soups, and cooking pasta. Use medium heat so as not to scorch the food or pot.

The temperature of boiling water appears to be no problem but the moisture might be ... I'd be careful not to submerge the probe connection to the cable or the cable itself in water.

Yes, and I've done so frequently and successfully. I have a Weston sealer and Anova circulator. As noted by J.Richburg, these bags are described as able to "...be boiled in water...". Sous Vide ("under vacuum") circulating water baths are usually between 131F and 185F and therefore well under boiling temperatures.

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 onlyBoil long enough to to heat the contents
