would you plan to wash these by hand or in the dishwasher? are you concerned about the plastic leaching chemicals into your drink as it degrades? Could you coat the inside or the lip with something sturdier?

if you put it in the dishwasher, it will shrink/melt. HANDWASH ONLY!

I would hand wash them because it may release harmful chemicals such as bpa that might increase your chance of cancer. When you put it in the dishwasher, it will heat up the water alot which will make it more likely to release said chemicals into any drink you put in the cup. Hope this helps.

BPA is not a concern with this type of bottle. Only polycarbonate bottles have that problem. The dishwasher may partially melt them, as dodo91 pointed out.

I would think an old frying pan that you're not going to use for food cooking would be best. Or does it not matter? Just wondering if any of the plastic melts on to the pan. Actually, I have an old cookie sheet that I don't use for food anymore, and that should work just as well.

most of the plastic bottles i have ever used were pretty flimsy. is yours sturdy enough to hold in your hand without it crushing?
