Polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) plastics are generally considered safe for boiling water as they have high heat resistance and are less likely to leach harmful chemicals into the water. It is important to check the specific type of plastic and ensure it is labeled as microwave-safe or heat-resistant before using it to boil water.
no The first person above said no. But there are YouTube videos of people pouring boiling water, or very hot water, into buckets to do Tie Dyeing of their clothes and so forth. So, I would have to say, it probably depends on the bucket and the type of plastic it is made out of.
Yes, most food-grade plastics can hold boiling water without melting or releasing harmful chemicals. However, it is important to check the specific type of plastic and its intended use to ensure safety.
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.
A long-handled spoon is better for stirring boiling water as it allows you to keep your hand at a safe distance from the heat. Additionally, a heat-resistant material like stainless steel or silicone is recommended to prevent the spoon from melting or warping in the hot water.

No, type 5 plastic (polypropylene) is generally considered microwave safe, but it is always recommended to check the specific packaging or container for microwave safety instructions.
I was unable to find any information on a "IGEma". If this is a type of a boiling water kettle, you will see the orange indicator light up on the side of the pot when water reaches boiling.
