G'day Cameron,
There should be a code on your plastic pale....
If its a 2 or a 5 , you'll be fine in my humble opinion....Anything else is NO GOOD !
Checkit here checkit !
Cheers

Not the thread your after, but a quick wiki search found: the material in question "2" High-density polyethylene, HDPE can "can withstand temperatures (120 C/ 248 F for short periods, 110 C /230 F continuously)"

Sourced: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-density_polyethylene
