Can these bags handle heating? With Wilton bags i can melt chocolate in the microwave. Has anyone had success with melting in these?

Yes, I use these bags for heating Candy Melts and chocolate in them on a daily basis in my bakery. They can also be heat-sealed at the top if you like to create bags of icings, fillings, ganache, etc with a no-mess, sealed top. I purchased these as a cheaper alternative to Kee-Seal bags and have been quite pleased with them. They are less expensive than my buying Kee-Seal bags wholesale.

I would not put any plastic bag in the microwave and heat ingredients in it. Its best to heat the chocolate then put it in the bag.

I can't be sure but I have used them in the microwave.You might put one in it empty and try it I personally believe it would work. I HAVE ONE LAST THOUHKT TRY AND EMAIL THE MANUFACTOR AND ASK THEM. GOOD LUCK THESE BAGS ARE AMAZING AND THE PRICE YOU JUST CAN'T GO WRONG.

It won't melt the bag, but you are unlikely to get a good seal so moisture will probably get to it anyway. Mine are always a little damp from condensation and don't seem to be any the worse for wear.

I have used them with melted chocolate and candy melts. I'm not 100% sure about hot fudge, but the bags are pretty durable for a disposable product.

Yes...I have put these in the microwave multiple times for no more than 1 min at a time and it has not done any damage to them. They don't get too hot and have not melted at all. I have heard that microwaving food in plastic is not safe because of chemicals that are released during the microwave process, but that is a seperat issue.

I haven't tried using them in the oven, but they successfully go through the 1-hr dishwasher cycle very well. They seem durable. I wouldn't hesitate to use them in the microwave. 350 degrees in the oven just long enough to melt cheese over something seems safe. I wouldn't put them in a very hot oven, though.

Just like anything plastic use caution when heating in a microwave. I have used them in the microwave many times. Again use caution as plastic weakens when heated and could melt if in too long.

I used Wilton candy melts. Took about 10-15 minutes to harden in the fridge. I recommend melting over a double boiler. It's too easy to scald the chocolate when melting in the microwave.

Not unless you like melted plastic in your food. No...they're not for that. Need to use foil or the like while in the oven. But I really love the product.

Hello! I personally have not tried to microwave with them, but from what I read on Google, you can, but probably shouldn't be an everyday practice due to chemicals that are released and the "hot" plastic that results from the microwave. Here's an example of what I read from Google: There can be a very small amount of migration of the melamine-formaldehyde resin, but as you stated elsewhere, the FDA concluded that it was well below the safe use limit. However, the real reason for not microwaving melamine dishes or cookware is that it can become very hot when microwaved. Most plastics are microwave transparent and do not get hot. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and, as a result, heats. Hello!

You need food grade bags, I don't think these are right for cotton candy. They do melt when heated. Search for "food grade" bags and you should easily find a good match.

I have melted chocolate in mine directly. What I found that worked was to use PAM spray in the fondue pot first. It doesn't need a lot, just a little so that it doesn't melt and burn. If you are in a hurry, then go ahead and pre-melt it. I also put a little cream, or whatever liquid you want to melt with it, and it worked fine. I have been a fondue lover for many years, and am on my third fondue pot! Good luck and enjoy your chocolate!

I have not tried to microwave them to date. You could prob do it for a few seconds as I often will microwave my butter container to melt it & that is plastic as well. Good luck!

Yes Tom- in the microwave they can but not on the stove top. I believe they can withstand temps in the oven up to 450-500 degrees. I have been baking in the oven at about 425 F and they are fine. Hope this helps.....

Absolutely not! They are not made for high temps like the oven; however, they are definitely microwave friendly.

Yes - I microwave mine all the time but do not put them in the oven they will melt.. Though I called customer service when it melted in the oven and they sent me a replacement

I have not tried to do that, but they should be OK if you're not cooking for long periods. I generally avoid putting ANY plastic in a microwave for a number of reasons.
