Can I reheat a sauce in a squeeze bottle?
I have some sauces held in squeeze bottles: Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE), recycling code 4, dishwasher safe.
I want to stand them in hot water. Is it safe all the way to boiling point or does LDPE start to deteriorate at a lower temperature?
Thanks

Britannica says LDPE is OK to 110°C but that would leave it pretty close to collapse if it were allowed to touch the pan itself with a burner underneath.
I'd also consider how floppy it might be at 95° or so.
I'd perhaps think of another method.

Can you reheat jar sauces?
Yes, it is safe to reheat pasta sauce in the microwave. As long as the sauce is heated to a temperature of 74 degrees Celsius or 165 degrees Fahrenheit, then it is considered safe to eat.How do you reheat sauce?
Buy oils, vinegars, soy sauce, ketchup, bbq sauce, and other condiments in bulk, then transfer some of each to its own kitchen squeeze bottle, labeled with masking tape or stickers. You won't need the bulk containers for a while, but when your squeeze bottles are empty, all you need to do is refill.What can you put in a squeeze bottle?
There are no limits to how many times you can safely reheat leftover home-cooked meals. However, best practice is to limit the number of times you do so. More often than not, you wouldn't need to reheat one type of dish more than once.FIFO Bottle™ - Your main squeeze
