It depends on the type of plastic being used. Hopefully the packaging label will let you know if it is intended for liquids, solids, hot, or cold. If you don't have that information, you should test it first. The same considerations apply to plastic spoons. Some spoons turn soft and collapse when in boiling water.

How do you test air pressure on boiling point of water?
Measuring the temperature of the boiling point at different pressures.
How safe is it to boil water in a plastic bag?
Boiling water in a plastic bag can be unsafe because the high temperature can cause the plastic to release harmful chemicals into the water. It is recommended to use containers specifically designed for boiling water to ensure safety.
When ethylene glycol is added to water the boiling point of water is?
When ethylene glycol is added to water, the boiling point of the resulting solution increases. Ethylene glycol acts as an antifreeze, raising the boiling point and lowering the freezing point of water.
Is there a difference in boiling point in water and sulphur water?
Any added impurity can change the boiling point of a liquid.
What does water have to do with measuring temperature?
The fixed points on the Celsius scale, for measuring temperature are based on the freezing and boiling points of water and, to that extent water is relevant to the measurement of temperature.
How safe is it to use plastic containers for boiling water?
It is generally not safe to use plastic containers for boiling water as they can release harmful chemicals when exposed to high temperatures. It is recommended to use containers made of heat-resistant materials such as glass or stainless steel for boiling water.
Is pouring boiling water into a plastic bottle dangerous?

Why did the water stop boiling when the salt was added?
What did you observe! This is not a question we can answer as we were not present when the salt was added.
Which is a better solvent for boiling point elevation ethanol or water?
Ethanol is a better solvent for boiling point elevation compared to water. This is because ethanol has a higher boiling point than water. When a solute is added to ethanol, it will raise the boiling point of the solution more significantly than if the same solute were added to water.
Why clinical thermometers are used to measure the temperature of boiling water?
Clinical thermometers are not used to measure the temperature of boiling water! They have a range of about 35oC to 43oC and they will explode at a temperature of about 100oC! Ordinary laboratory thermometers are used.
What is a solute that can be added to water to raise boiling point?
