Is it safe to make hot boiling soup in this polycarbonate plastic jar?

That Depends How You Manage It. When I Blend Hot Stuff I Make Sure The Top Covers It Well And In Addition I Put A Heat Protecting Glove On The Top And Hold It Hard. The Jar Is Fine But The Cover Is Plastic And Heat Makes It Loose And Soft So You Could Potentially Burn Yourself. Just Be Cautious.

You MUST be careful. If the glass is cool, the hot liquid WILL shatter it. Please err on the side of caution and allow the soup too cool before pouring. Besides, fat rises to the top over time, you're going to have to wait anyway...

100% safe. Here's a good place to start: http://www.nomiku.com/support/faq/is-it-safe-to-cook-in-plastic/

Dear John, To be on the safe side I WOULD NOT fill the container with hot water. It's rubber and fairly soft, so I only fill it part way to protect yourself and/or others from being burned. Lee

The finished product is very fine and, using the filter,, should be OK.The soup does come out very hot so watch the temperature !

Its probably ok. Plastic in the lid might start to take on the flavor but i' thinking of getting the all metal replacement lid for mine. Also cold liquid seems to stay really cold it it for quite awhile, i'm assuming it will be the same with hot, it will probably be too hot to hold in your hand.

I would no recommend doing that when it is hot. I know of a person that did that. It is hard plastic but heat will damage it.

NO it is not safe for an electric stove top. Just pour the boiling water into the tea pot. DO NOT put it on a burner, it will most definitely melt the plastic

We do not recommend boiling the jar, but the blade can be boiled for sterilization. The jar is dishwasher safe, and can be sterilized that way.

Hello,Yes, it is made for canning and preserving. So, you can put boiling water in the jar. Thank you for your interest.Calli Books

If you heat food in a plastic container you increase the risk of contaminating your food with plastic molecules. In short, don't heat foods in plastic containers if you are concerned,

it is polycarbonate and can take temperatures up to about 320 deg F. It will craze if liquid hotter than that is put in it.

It is plastic and I have blended hot food in it.Not sure I would put it in Microwave to reheat food.Metal mixer would be deterrent.Other smaller containers fine.

No, I have used the plastic funnel and the spacer several times and have not had trouble with it melting with the hot liquids,etc. However, neither would withstand a direct heat source (such as a stove burner).

This plastic is very rigid and I wouldn't put a "hot" liquid in it. I make sure there is room temperature fluid in when I add brewed tea to made flavored tea.

The jar is not totally made of glass. I bought the kettle after reading these answers and wondered how the glass jar is attached to the stainless steel heating element. There is some kind of plastic (maybe silicone?) part that holds that glass jar and the heating element together and also acts as a sealant. I opened the lid after emptying the hot water (while the pot was still hot) and got a whiff of a very strong plastic odor. I'm pretty certain that the plastic part is being heated to high temperatures. My pot is going back.

I have no clue why you'd want to. It's for dog food. I highly doubt it though. Wouldn't risk it. Plastic leaches nasty chemicals when heated like that.
