Can you pour boiling water on crystal without cracking it?

Answer 1

If the glass is warm then you can, however when I put boiling water into a cold glass it smashed so ...

Yes you can put boiling water into a glass, just not a cold one (Y) Yes... but if the room (and the glass) is cold, expect bad results... You might get lucky though... When I have a cold, I mix the cold medicine with hot water in a glass, and only once in my life has the glass ever smashed in those circumstances... I rarely put hot water into glasses otherwise...

Answer 2

Generally , no , if you are talking about crystal ware , it was not designed for use with hot water , the shock of a fast temperature change will most likely crack it , that is why Pyrex was invented.

Answer 3

This depends on the thermal resistance of the glass; common glass is not suitable.

Duran and Pyrex glasses (borosilicate glasses) are convenient.

Answer 4

Boiling water breaks glass because the heat has no where to escape to. It heats up to boiling point which makes the glass crack and eventually shatter :) xx

Answer 5

Unless the bowl is specially made for using on a hot burner, no. Doing so could cause the glass to shatter; you could get cut and burned by the hot food splattering.

Answer 6

no because the bowl will melt if it is plastic
