Can these be used to contain acetone? I've had other cups melt quickly.

I filled one with acetone and let it sit for two hours. When I dumped out the solvent and felt the inside of the cup it was not tacky or sticky. There appeared to be no softening of the cup at all.

Hi, I bought these and they do withstand acetone, but to save money I put half a cotton ball in it and then saturate it with acetone. They don't leak but can become slightly uncomfortable if you leave them on longer than 10 minutes.

I see no reason why other bottles couldn't be used, as long as 1) they fit in (since most brands have aprox the same sizes, they should) 2) the bottles are resistant to the same temperature as the avent ones, to guarantee that they do not melt.the same applies to the bottle warmer

You cannot use then in an oven. They have plastic domes and I am rather certain that they will melt.

Hi Monica You probably could reuse them, the muffins I make using these baking cups practically drop right out when turned upside down. They are so much better than the paper ones, and there's a paper one in between each of the foil ones. I would only reuse them for the same recipe....unless you want to wash them! I have used them for refrigerated cold desserts and they work very well for that. I would not use paper ones ever for desserts like that....they would probably stick.

No way, and I've even taken them from the fridge, and put them in the oven for a reheat, allowing the glass to slowly change temperature. I've had glass "explode" on me before, but it was always operator error. Going from one extreme temperature to the next.

Not that I know of...I've never tried. The pack consists of little gelatin beads so I'd be scared to melt them if heated another way.

They'd make pretty "normal" sized cupcakes, my my opinion. Not mini ones whatsoever. And they wont release any chemicals unless you heat them over 500 degrees for long periods of time. Silicone is very temperature safe unlike plastic.

Yes. You can also use re-usable gel filled ice cubes in the trays instead of ice--which does melt.

@ Girl on Fire..yes they can be used with acetone,l just try cleaning the bushes right away and drying them.

Is this a question ? I have never had an issue like that from these cups. I love them and plan on ordering another set . I make chocolate chip cookie cups and filled them with alcohol infused whipped cream, after I lined them with a thin layer of melted chocolate. They were awesome .

I assume so, but like any plastic cup it will feel hot to the touch - the plastic isn't super thick - I wouldn't microwave them to warm them up though.

I have not but I think it would melt just fine. I have used it to bake in place or regular sugar and it tastes great. I have also used it in coffee and iced tea, tasty yummy.

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 used them in the microwave with no problems. No chemical reacts. These are great cups.

I THINK they'd work okay... depends on the kind of pie I suppose. Something that will solidify a little like a pumpkin or pecan pie should do fine. Something wobbly like an apple or cherry might not hold up well. As long as you spray the cup with a lot of oil or non-stick spray I think they'd work alright.

Not completely interchangeable in cooking, due to lower melting point. Solid and liquid measure is equivalent, except for the mess factor. Best TIP ever: Line cupcake pan with papers, then pout pre-measured 1/4 c melted oil into each one & freeze. Keep most of the cups in the freezer and transfer some to refrigerator for ready baking. I did this when I got to the end of the Snappy container and it was a total mess trying to scoop it out of the bottom.
