Just curious if you have experience with pouring boiling water intoglass jars?
I'm just looking for practical real-world experience.
Today I had a bit of old tea powder left in a Lipton powdered iced tea
jar.
Instead of throwing it out or chipping it out, I simply poured boiling
water into it and drank it from the jar.
Since I half expected the glass jar to break, I did this in the sink -
but to my surprise, the glass held the just-boiled water.
I realize that glass can be made out of many materials (e.g., Pyrex) ...
but I wonder ...
Is this the general experience that typical American glass jars hold up
to boiling water?
