Hey guys, I know this could go in a different forum, but I was curious as to heating of a 6qt sterilite container. I'm using heat pads on them... is it okay to put the container directly on top? It says not to, but I fear the container hot enough otherwise (at the hot end anyways). They are zoo med heat pads.

Thank you

Teresa
