I reflexively yelled at my boss once because he poured recently boiling water out of a glass and turned the cold faucet on to rinse it out while scrubbing, and I thought he was about to cut the shit out of his hand. He got contemplative for a moment and then said that he had forgotten that that used to happen in Afghanistan (where he was from), but it doesn’t happen in Germany.

Just putting oil in a few dozen times won’t shatter it. A few hundred cooling cycles might, but you change jars by then.

It won’t necessarily shatter it, but it absolutely can. I’ve done it with a jar I had washed the original product out of shortly beforehand. Just because it’s never happened to you doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

I guess it depends on the temperature of the oil, I pour when its still liquid, but less than boiling.

I pour when it’s hot to the touch, but not unpleasant, so probably around 50-60 C
