Is it safe to pour boiling hot water into my quick-stir pitcher to make tea?? I am guessing that it is, considering that it's shatter-resistant, but I just wanted to make sure!!
 
No!!! Don't do it!
 
it will melt. don't do it!
 
Yeah - what they said!


I pour the boiling water over teabags in my batter bowl, and then after it cools for a few minutes, I pour it into the QSP.

Well I'm sure glad I asked, then!! So when making iced tea, i should do it all on the stove and then transfer into the pitcher after it has cooled? Or is there a better way?
 
Yes, that is the way I would do it!
