No, you can't put it in the microwave.
They're both made of plastic, but they're free of BPA. I used it to make desserts.
Probably not for medical purposes, but clean enough for food service.
That is not the case. Despite the fact that their advertisement claims to be polypropylene, they are polystyrene.

Very let down. This product was chosen because it was advertised as being BPA-free and of a relatively low risk grade. Polypropylene is a food-safe plastic. Instead, I received polystyrene cups, which are NOT polypropylene, as indicated by the six enclosed in a triangle with the letters PS. Then there's the fact that this thing can't take even the tiniest amount of heat. The container will be skewed even if the liquid is warm. The only good thing is that they got the capacity right, which is 2 oz. That is all there is to it.
The edges are sharp, but they don't leak: I was either out of lids or had too many cups (I didn't count), but there's a stack of at least 20 lid-less cups. I have fewer cups on my counter now. Having said that, the kids did a good job of snapping on and did not leak. Around 500 Jell-O molds were made. These cups stood up to a lot of O shots. Some of the edges are razor-sharp and will sever your lips. However, if you're too drunk to notice it, you won't until you sober up. If you're making Jell-O, this is what you'll need. Order a Jellinator as well, O shots. If you're ordering these for condiments, the sharp edge won't be an issue unless you're doing condiment shots (if that's a "thing," I'm not interested in participating). In the end, I think I'll stick with Walmart's Blue Diamond brand--the savings were only a few pennies, and I know the quantities (lids/cups) are better on the Blue Diamond brand.
These are where I keep my salad dressings and other small salad ingredients. They also serve as a source of vitamins for me on a regular basis. Because you have to take the larger size omega 3 pills, they fit better and are easier to make vitamin "packs" to take with you. I'm not convinced the no-leak claim is true. To avoid a disaster, place any salad dressings in a small square snack-size ziploc bag.
I've never had a problem storing craft items with other products. When used to store clay, craft glue, paints, etc. , these cups completely disintegrated/melted, and there was some leaching when used to store leftover soy sauce, vinegar, or other acidic foods. It is not something I would suggest. I ended up tossing them all in the trash because I was concerned that their chemical composition was dubious at best and potentially dangerous at worst.
Solo brand 1 oz cups are ideal for my needs. I work with glass and require small containers for storing frit and other small pieces. They're well-made, and the lids are a perfect fit. They were kept in a sleeve that also held the cups' and lids' sleeves. Because I had so many, I decided to make some peach jelly shots as well. The cups aren't clear, but they're translucent enough that the jellies can be seen through them. To give you an idea of scale, I've included some photos. They're small, but I like the size, and you can eject the shots by squeezing the cups.
We needed a way to send baby food to daycare now that glass is permitted. I was sick of cleaning the small tupperware containers on a daily basis. It was simply too much trouble. This is where the 4 oz cups come in handy. It perfectly fits a jar of baby food, and we can just toss them when we're done with them! Although it is not environmentally friendly, it saves us a great deal of time.
I used to get these from a local big box store, but they were frequently out of my preferred size or style. After purchasing these for the first time on Amazon, I believe the quality, availability, and convenience are far superior to what I was previously purchasing. In a two-week period, I use approximately 250 of these. For a product that I make and sell in my fitness facility, I have a three-month trial period.
I use these cups to store my paint after a long day of painting and needing a place to put the leftovers. They are extremely effective. The covers stay put and keep the paint from drying out, and they're easy to clean up afterward! I simply soak acrylic paint in a bucket of warm water with a small amount of mild dish soap to remove it. After they've soaked for a while, wipe them clean with a paper towel and voila! It's time to put it back to work! This 4 oz size is my favorite because the cups don't break and the lids don't split. At this price, these are a steal!.
