I live in the Deep South. Will these melt in temperatures 85-90?

My experience during the summer months is that the product gets soft but I have not seen it "melt." The birds seem to eat it faster in the summer, probably because it is soft, than than in the winter when frozen.

I have no idea..I live on the northern CA Pacific coast and the temps here are 45-65 degrees.

No; but, they get really soft. I live in Colorado and I stop hanging them when the temps start hitting the mid 70s.

I live on Long Island in NY. Have had suet melt in summer heat. (85 and above especially if in the sun. Some brands claim to be melt free but also get very soft in that heat. My solution use black oil sunflower seed in the heat of summer saving the suet for cooler weather. The birds that enjoy the suet will also enjoy the sunflower seed. I will use the suet during a cool spell during the summer to give the birds a treat.

Hello, These will not melt too bad because they are just chocolate coated. At worst, some of the pieces may stick together. Amazon actually stops shipping chocolate items May 1st just for that reason, so there is only a couple of weeks left to order my items from the Amazon warehouse. After that, you will have to order from individuals shipping the item themselves. Thank you for your interest. Calli Books

They are not wax (but they look like it!). They are polycarbonate (plastic) and shouldn't be an issue using in one of the southern states. They also don't give off heat if that's what you're worry about as well. Hope that helps!

These are much better. I've had them in quite hot microwaves with no melting. (No doubt the venting helps too!) I think you'll find that they'll do the job for you just fine.

I have used them in my oven. I did not go over 375 degree's. I love them. I have every size.

I really doubt anything bad should happen, as long as they did not get too hot. Follow the instructions on the package they should be fine.

I would bet that they would melt, they are rubber. They are great for taking a rack of food off of a fire, and I'm sure a skillet, but I wouldn't expose them to the actual burning coals or to a fire.

I use them outside a lot, but only for a couple days at a time. They get quite hot and are not designed to be used outside for extended periods. Keep a close eye on them and don't let them come into contact with anything that melts or might catch fire. Good luck.

I'll give a qualified 'yes.' I've been buying these from another source (Amazon can't meet my quantities) but the same exact item and their specification says 200° F max. A word of caution though: I would not recommend taking the temperature too close to the maximum. I think you'll be fine at 140°F.

I have never had any problem with melting and have been using for several years. I never cook above 350.

I've never had them melt in my car & I live in St. Louis hot summers. They are the best in my opimions ever!!

Sorry question went to an old email address. Very nice quality. I only use the covers for winter. They've held up great. I do not think they would stick/melt.

We do not but with our packaging technique we have not had any issues with melting, even on hot days. It is best, however, to wait to order if the temperature is extremely high.

I have only used them on cast-iron handles on stove tops for handling the hot handles and they have worked perfectly with no melting or deformation. I don't leave them in the oven but the literature states they're rated to 450° F.

Yes they will melt, usually the sender will not send in hot weather, purchased these because they were cheaper than the Anthon Berg chocalets, big mistake, inexpensive chocolate and the liqueur filling is jell, look at Anthon berg

I have had them in hot water 90 degrees to 100 degrees and they have been fine, trying to keep frosting and honey more squeezable. Hope that helps you!
