Eli5 :Why you shouldn’t fill a blender with hot liquid ?

Question

« Eli5 »
Why does the lid come off when you use a blender with hot liquid but it doesn’t come off when you use it with cold liquid? Help me explain to my friend why it’s safer to let the steam come out and not over full the blender with hot soup.

Answer 1

I blend hot things all the time.

Just don’t put a tight-fitting lid on top, and don’t overfill it.
