I wouldn't, There pretty fragile.
If op decides too cover with foil held in place with rubber band, Keep it away from the sides and bottom of the pc..

An Erlenmeyer works perfectly. I'd plug it with Polyfil then cover with foil.

Why would it crack? Lab glass is almost always borosilicate glass.

It should not crack if you keep it off the bottom of the PC, and do not help speed up the cool down process.
It should be just fine.

I have an erlenmeyer flask, i also bought a watch glass to go on top. If you don't have one polyfil will do. Either way just make sure to put tinfoil on top. As "36fuckin5" said most labware is borosilicate glass so cracking or shattering shouldn't be a concern

Unless you drop it. Lab glass is usually pretty fragile.

It will not crack. Most here use a liquor or beer bottle for pouring. Never once have I had a bottle crack. Lab glass is borosilicate as noted above and is generally fairly thick walled.

I use those for culture expansion. Love shaking them!. I drill a hole in a filter disk circle for a silicone injector port and then silicone the disk onto the rim. Like this:

Mine just seem super thin and fragile. I guess i'll try it and find out. Filter disk and foil should work right?
