They say these are microwave safe, but are they BPA-free?

I do not think any plastic is safe in a microwave, they freeze well, and store my soups well. I help with meals for our church and use these to take soup and other meals to people. They go through the dishwasher great, no warped edges and good seal. I just transfer to paper or glass for microwave.... Hope this helps.

Don't know about BPA? I didn't try to microwave them. After the one bubbled up in 2 places, I now hand wash the remaining.

wait, i do not know that for a fact. i thought they were both dishwasher and microwavable but nothing is stated on the bowls. When I look at the bowls on line they say dishwasher safe and BPA. Thus I am not sure about nuking them'

Yes, they are microwave safe. The lid also fits pretty tight so it doesn't spill when tossed around on the go.

Only thing I can tell you is that they are not microwave/dishwasher safe or bpa free. They kids do put food on them and drink from them. As long as we have had them no problem. Better then most of the ones out there.

No they are not microwave safe and they are not labeled microwave safe. In general heating plastic releases carcinogens. Microwaving with a glass pyrex measuring cup and pouring in the contents does the job well.

Yes, these measuring cups are microwave and dishwasher safe. I've been using them that way for years, with no problems.

I gave them to my nephew as a gift and he uses them at a hunting cabin so I'm assuming they are microwave safe.

Because it is not clearly marked, I wouldn't assume that they are microwave safe. My Pyrex bowls are all marked safe for microwave, for example. They are rather thin, so on the plus side each piece is lightweight, but not as durable as something heavier. I guess that's the trade off.

Since they are NOT made in the US, (these are from Italy) they are not obligated to tell you if they are or are not BPA free. I checked my lids and other than saying dishwasher safe (upper rack) there is no other information. I don't use the lids in the microwave if that is the big concern. I would err on the safe side and tell you not to use the lids in heated situations and not put in dishwasher until you are sure. I still love these containers and freeze soups in them and reheat in same, but I also don't have kids and I know that is a big concern for young people being exposed to BPA. Wish I could help more.

Good question. I wouldn't microwave on the fear of BPAs. But now I don't recall if these or any other were BPA free. I wouldn't nuke in these or similar because they are thin walled and nuking sugar (if you're planning in these for icing) would probably melt or warp the walls and possibly the the tops where a good seal is required. Hot water bath yes.

They are NOT indicated as "microwave safe" on the bowls. They are a Type 2 plastic, which is "high density polyethylene" (HDPE) = May be safe, although some recommend against food contact when microwaving. I personally do NOT use these in the microwave. They seem fine in the top rack of the dishwasher, but I wouldn't put them on the bottom rack.

I know that they are dishwasher safe, never tried them in the microwave or freezer, though.

They are BPA free. So I would assume they would be fine for microwave sterilizing.

Yes they are microwave safe. Don't try to cook in them but fine for quick heating.
