Will these hold hot items? Looking to use them for a Chili/Soup Cook-off...

No, these are definitely not made to hold hot foods. For chili or soup, you would be much better off with styrofoam or waxed paper containers.

We have only used these for cold items. Though I have not tried hot items, I can say they keep the cold food cold for at least four hours in my children's school lunch bags. We do not use ice packs.

Maybe so since it seems these items were not tested properly or the fact that the copper looking knobs on the lids get hot and you must use a pot holder to pick them up. If you want to keep the heat turned up under the pan, but let off steam the lids will not allow you to move them to one side. They keep sliding back in place, and the black handles start peeling over time. I am not thrilled with these pans, but they will do in a pinch.

Good question. Unfortunately I have never used it for hot items. Sorry I could not be of more help. Great for keeping things cold.

I would think so. They would hold a lot of small mints. It just depends on how you plan to use them. I was having a "de stress" party, and had two kinds of chili, plus slaw on the side. I put the slaw in the mini cube. They were perfect for a small serving and it looked nice too.

Yes. They hold the heat well. I have a gas cook top and I am so glad I have these pan. I got them several years ago and I plan to use them for the next 20 years. They pour nicely...nothing drips over the edge. Glass top lets me see what is happening inside. A tip though...I wash the lids with out submersing them because the water will leak in around the glass and rim...you'll get that with any glass lid. I wash and dry them right away to keep their shine. Love these pans!

Yes, they are tall enough to hold the soup, and I would definitely use them for a dish I am serving a sample of or small portions of.

Yes but I wouldn't recommend holding anything with them, and if you do don't hold don't them for a long period of time, the reason why I say this because I tested them out to see how long they can last, so I took a pan out of the oven around 350° and they only were able to last around 10 second, unless you double fold them.

yes it should hold the hot liquids but I believe its intended to kI personally would not use it for hot liquid because I don't know it's the interior plastic can handle the heatit may start to break down and crack

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

We used them for ice cream. They're thin - I wouldn't try them for anything hot as it would probably melt the plastic.

They will get warm, especially if you are simmering something on the stove for a length of time such as soup. However, I don't recall the handles/lid being hot enough that I needed a pot holder to grab them.

Yes! They would hold them just fine. We use them for pots and pans, but being a motorcycle rider, a helmet would hold up great!

Yes. It will hold platters of hot food. I would not put something on it you had directly on the grill to cook with though, like a wok or something that was directly on the coals

Alex, these aren't designed for any kind of cooking/heating of food. But they do keep cooked food hot for a few hours!

As long as your grill is long enough to hold them, they should work just fine. The idea is to use these for indirect heat so just make sure you have room on one side of the grill for what you plan to cook and room on the other side below the cooking surface for the charcoal holders.

They would work fine for serving taco accompaniments, but would be toward the large size for this task. I purchased 4 and do use them for everything, but I think they are especially great for cooking as the silicone tips are heat resistant.
