Is it OK to use hot water to wash LEGO® parts?

From Reinhard “Ben” Beneke: !

I experimented with elements in a precisely controlled oven. Heating bricks in water should have the same results.

Bricks, plates and minifigs heated to:

40°C / 104°F
60°C / 140°F
75°C / 167°F
80°C / 176°F
110°C / 230°F
150°C / 302°F

is absolutely ok.
is still ok, at least for five minutes or so.
smells like a new set, but there is no noticable warping.
warps most elements.
stinks!
begins to smoke.
