I've used my SS container everyday since I purchased it ....I use it more than the 64oz container that came with my blender. I love it because I can throw in my hot roasted tomatoes and chilis straight off the comal and add in my fresh garlic to make homemade salsas without having to wait until all my ingredients have cooled down. I also like making my ice cream in this container because it keeps it nice it cold and slushy. I guess it's great for both worlds ....hot and cold.
