I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would not. Even if they said it was okay, I like it for its perfect use as a salad/cold cutup veggies use. Microwaving shortens the life of plastic in general and I recommend using either a Rubbermaid product or the Ziploc reusable but disposable containers for items that need microwaving. An added suggestion for microwave items is that my husband has me put such items in a plastic baggie (very cheap) then he has a large mug that he reheats food in. If you have that option, it's great because especially tomato products and enchilada sauce ruins plastic. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would not.

only don't put the gel section in the microwave, the lid and the container are safe, just leave the lid a little lose and you will not have any problems.

No; this container is for COLD foods. The tray is to freeze only. The red microwave cup would work well for hot foods.

The only thing that's not microwavable is the freezer tray I put it in the microwave all the time it's fine to do

That is not how it's meant to be used. You could put it in a micro but that would be no different than using any microwavable covered bowl. You would also have to remove the handle as it is attached with metal.

Absolutely! Personally I prefer butter but u can do either/or! Measure ur microwave tho as mine was too small for the container so that I "have" to buy a taller one. it was about 1/2" too tall. Enjoy! Terry M.

Personally I never microwave any thing plastic - BPA is only one of many chemicals. You are far better off heating something up in glass/ceramic. I will only use this for cold lunches. For Hot lunches I have a stainless steel soup container from LL Bean or I use a glass/pyrex storage container.

Hot food is ok to put in this container but it is not insulated and therefore won't do much to keep the food warm.

You can put salad in it, but I would chop salad on a cutting board. It is plastic.

No. Its a plastic container(I think) and If you microwave it I assume something bad will happen! Just dont do it :)

I bought a small pyrex glass bowl for leftovers that i use with this and food cooks evenly. But i also just throw in boxed frozen meals and they cook fine and use microwave safe plastic dishes, so i would guess any microwaveable plastic would work.

its says in the instruction manual that "Allow foods to cool before placing in the side bowl(s). Closing the lid with hot foods inside may cause the lid to deform and contents to spill." and also they add "Always remove the lid from the inner bowls before microwaving, and do to microwave the outer container. The lids and outer container are not microwaveable" and im sure you know but for a lid to be microwavable it has to have some sort of small hole in it so pressure wont build up , even if a lid writes microwavable on it if by design fault it does not have a hot steam escape hole on it you should never microwave it , you risk injury or at best destroying your microwave or food at best its says in the instruction manual that "Allow foods to cool before placing in the side bowl(s).

Container wouldn't be a problem...lid got very brittle when I put it in there...I don't think it would be a problem..

I'm not sure, but that is mostly a concern with things you put in the microwave, and the lids are NOT microwavable.

I would not put this in the microwave. It really is intended for dry snacks...cereals, nuts, etc.

There are many warnings now being issued against microwaving using plastic bowls. Some of the chemicals are leaching out of the plastic and into the food you are eating so it really is not a good idea.

It is plastic and I have blended hot food in it.Not sure I would put it in Microwave to reheat food.Metal mixer would be deterrent.Other smaller containers fine.

Hi, I love these nesting bowls. I didn't purchase them for microwaving in. I just checked and it says "Not recommended for use in Micro. They store easily taking up less space. Nice sturdy bowlst
