heat-resistant
Tolerates high temperatures
Heat-resistant describes materials or objects that can withstand high temperatures without degrading, melting, or losing function: heat-resistant gloves, heat-resistant glass.
The term appears frequently for cookware, industrial materials, and protective equipment.
How much heat qualifies varies by context—what's heat-resistant for kitchen use differs from aerospace applications.
