Is the handle stainless steel or is it just the way the picture looks? If so it can not be used in the microwave right?

The handle is plastic - we only put the glass portion in the microwave to heat the milk and then remove to add the cover and froth away.

I may have misunderstood - the handle on the glass section is glass, the knob for the frother is plastic.

The handle is glass. My husband uses the container part to heat the milk in the microwave before he froths it. He really likes the product.

The handle is glass, like the container. So it can go into the microwave.....................

The handle is glass and it can be microwaved without the top on it. I LOVE this Milk Frother!

Handle on mine is glass. Most certainly used in microwave. That's what it's for

It is very sturdiy and of good quality. I use it for lunch like everyday. The handle in the picture is actually different then the one I received and its better lookign. It is good for soups and oatmeal for the microwave. The four clips are also pretty awesome.

I can't imagine using stainless INSIDE of a microwave for what I'd consider obvious reasons, but I'm not absolutely certain if it's possible. I just know that this one's surface is painted with a microwave-safe appliance paint. I'm here shopping because the "ceiling" of my nuker is peeling like a mo. Here's a link (hopefully it'll work) for DIY instructions to repair microwave peeling paint. Since I'm a lazy little imp, I'm buying a new microwave.doityourself.COM/stry/how-to-repaint-the-inside-of-a-microwave

I personally do not have a microwave, but there is no metallic design to it and see no reason why it couldnt be. I put it in the dishwasher too. Use this at work every day, love it!

There are metal ends on the handle, so unless you can take that off of is not safe for the microwave. I have never had the handle off and it doesn't look easy to remove. You could break the lugs on the pot.

The handle is constructed of a plastic. I would not recommend using at oven temperatures. I have used it at high heat on the stove top. But I have yet to attach the handle since I don't have a screw driver.

It is marked on the bottom of the dishes that it is not microwave safe. It is safe for use in the dishwasher.

Yes, it is microwave safe ... and no, I've not noticed the handle getting hot. I heat (okay, reheat too) coffee in it, and I've used it pretty much daily for the past year. It's my second -- the first one I broke when I accidentally banged it into the wall while walking to the breakroom for a refill. LOVE this mug! And it's perfect size, too!

It's probably some kind of steel (a magnet sticks to the bottom) but the inside has a teflon-like coating, so it's hard to know for sure. The point where the body attached to the handle began to rust out, causing the handle to become loose, so it's likely not stainless. We threw it out because it seemed dangerous.

Yes, it is. Easily cleanable, too. (Though I can't figure out how they get around the "no metal in the microwave" rule :) And, as for Neal's comment, below, my microwave is well past the warranty and still working like new.

It is exactly as it is shown in the picture. Stainless steel on the front. With black around the window and on top and sides of the microwave

It is plastic. "OXO" says it is dishwasher safe, top shelf. Microwave safe except for heating oils.

The handle is metal with a heat resistant silicon grip. It is not oven safe.

It has held up to the dishwasher just fine(including the lid which I put in the silverware basket). I do not have a microwave so I can't help with that.

My husband never puts the pot in the microwave so I can't answer that. Seems like a normal ceramic material, nothing metallic about it, so don't know why it wouldn't be fine. The teapot gets a LOT of use, but my husband warms up his tea by putting the mug, not the pot, in the microwave. The standing joke at our house is that we will write on my husband's tombstone "your mug of tea is waiting for you in the microwave".

It's a stiff hard plastic, no metal core. The "scraper" part is flexible. I see no reason it could not go into microwave. Mine goes into the dishwasher fine.

It - the handle - warms up a little (yes it is touchable) in microwave but doesn't get too hot to touch.
