I'm not sure about that. Silicones are highly stable, and the boiling point
of water is hardly a high temperature. Many carbon-based organic compounds
are stable at those temperatures. (Boiling pasta, for example, doesn't cause
it to disintegrate.)


Even if it doesn't fail, I would not want to trust it to not off-gas
or release potentially toxic compounds.
