CAN YOU PUT FOOD IN THESE OR JUST WATER?

Food would just dry out and get hard. They are made to keep water from freezing

I guess you could, although they are not air tight. I purchased them to store dry cat food and bird seed, and they are PERFECT for that. They are good quality, sturdy and convenient with the flip up lid.

They are heat resistant so you can handle food. They are silicon on the outside so I would say waterproof in that respect but you could end up with water inside if it goes in where your hands go in and it may not be too comfortable.

The plastic is tough enough that I am sure you could put them in a pot of simmering water. I just have never done it that way and thus do not know how long you would want to leave them in. I would not boil them though.

They're very thin - so even if you could I wouldn't advise it, they'd probably warp. Plus plastic leaches into food when it comes into contact with heat (remember, don't drink water from a plastic bottle that's been left in your car)... and even things that are BPA Free still have toxic chemicals... so I'd stick with using a glass or ceramic container. These are great for serving snacks in or storing small amounts of food in.

I don't think they are intended to be used that way. Several of the individual cubes in my set have leaked, so even though they are just filled with water I would be nervous using them in drinks. Also, they are easy to clean but only because I am not hyper worried about scrubbing each one...if they were going to directly contact food I would be more concerned about bacteria or food stuff on the outside. I do LOVE them for lunches, though.

Yes you can. I personally have one & I put mine in the microwave to bring water to a bowl when I am cooking.

I have not tried but their web site says food jars are perfectly fine. From their web site "If warming a meal in a very short container (such as glass food jars), the water level may rise above the top of the container. Always put lids on short containers to prevent water from entering the container."

Yes, but don't pour hot water directly into them. Fill them with cool tap water, then heat in a microwave oven to minimize the risk of cracking due to sudden thermal expansion. The same goes for cooling... Wash them only after they have cooled, and don't wash in hot water when they are cold. (I learned all this the hard way.)

Hi. You can use those flavors for just about anything. No need to add water because they are already ready to be used. They have a great flavor just the way it is.

You do need water for this type of food.You may look into true MRE's, which do not need water but taste better when heated. They are available on ebay.

I don't know about opening them and putting in water but I can take the capsule without water

Yes they are water tight. I put hot wings in the larger one for a party and they were still steaming an hour later. If water gets on it, or sits in water the food inside the container should be fine. Just be careful not to drop, one of my friends dropped on the driveway and cracked a piece of the handle off.

The instructions say mix with food. That's what I do. I would ask the company, if u want to put in the water. It will prably taste very funny.

I don't think you can add extra water. You just add what you need at the time.
