Forgive my ignorance, but a mason jar can withstand temperatures of 200+ without shattering?
I kind of feel bad asking this bc I have lived my entire life in the south (Dallas, Texas) so I feel like I should already know the answer; yet I don't.
- jonah 13y agoMason jars are intended for canning. Typically that involves a boiling water bath. So, yes.
- cheald 13y agoThey're frequently used to store jams, which can be quite a bit hotter than coffee when prepared. It wouldn't surprise me. Just don't plunge it into an ice bath right after filling it with boiling water.
