Tricks so that glass cups don't break when hot water is poured into them.
There are several tricks that can help prevent glass glasses from breaking when hot water is poured into them.
1. Use heat-resistant glass.
Make sure the glass used has adequate heat resistance. Typically, glasses specifically designed to withstand heat have special labels or markings indicating their heat resistance capabilities.
2. Heat the glass.
Before pouring hot water, warm the glass with a little hot water first. This will help prevent sudden changes in temperature and reduce the risk of cracking or breaking.
3. Use a thick glass.
Glass with thick walls tends to be more resistant to drastic temperature changes, thereby reducing the risk of breaking when hot water is poured into it.
4. Avoid drastic temperature changes.
If possible, avoid placing cold glasses directly under boiling hot water. As much as possible, let the glass adapt to the surrounding temperature first.
5. Do not use glasses that are cracked or deformed.
Glass that has small cracks or defects can break more easily when exposed to extreme temperature changes.
By following some of the tricks above, you can help prevent glass glasses from breaking when hot water is poured into them. However, always remember that there are no absolute guarantees, so be careful when handling hot glass.
