If the glass is warm then you can, however when I put boiling water into a cold glass it smashed so ...

Yes you can put boiling water into a glass, just not a cold one (Y) Yes... but if the room (and the glass) is cold, expect bad results... You might get lucky though... When I have a cold, I mix the cold medicine with hot water in a glass, and only once in my life has the glass ever smashed in those circumstances... I rarely put hot water into glasses otherwise...

Generally , no , if you are talking about crystal ware , it was not designed for use with hot water , the shock of a fast temperature change will most likely crack it , that is why Pyrex was invented.

This depends on the thermal resistance of the glass; common glass is not suitable.

Duran and Pyrex glasses (borosilicate glasses) are convenient.

Boiling water breaks glass because the heat has no where to escape to. It heats up to boiling point which makes the glass crack and eventually shatter :) xx

Unless the bowl is specially made for using on a hot burner, no. Doing so could cause the glass to shatter; you could get cut and burned by the hot food splattering.

Why does the water not boil when you put a spoon inside a pot?
