Answer
Yes
Source
Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 105. If hot food is placed in the utensils, it is forbidden, and although it is only a secondary utensil, nevertheless, it is mostly through pouring, and the opinion of the Shulchan Aruch in Yoreh De'ah 105:2 is stringent initially, as it prohibits the utensil. Additionally, there is concern here for a dense item, as explained by the Maharshal, that it is like a primary even in a secondary utensil. If they are not used for hot but only for cold, since the food is usually left in them for more than 24 hours, there is a concern of pickling. See Pri Megadim, Siman 105, Sk 1, regarding whether this applies to glass utensils, and this should also be discussed regarding plastic.
