1. Yes2. I always add a teaspoon or 2 of water or stock before I reheat. (be sure to open the little vent on the lid before you put it in the microwave) A little steam helps to keep the food tasting fresh. Food tends to get drier as it cools, so a bit of liquid helps. 3. Depends on how full the cup is. That cup holds just short of a quart of food or liquid. I would put it in the microwave for 1 minute - on high, then check it and stir. Then another minute. Keep reheating a minute at a time, checking it and stirring until it is heated to the temperature you want. Take it slow. Each type of food reheats differently. 1. Yes2.

Yes. My wife used it for work. Stored it in company frige then microwaved to for lunch. Don't know about the liquid thing. Time I would guess is 30-60 seconds

I strongly suggest that anytime you employ a microwave to heat, or cook, any food or beverage, you must handle it with care, and use a pot holder, or oven mitt! Gee whiz, I would asssume that you would understand that it is going to be very warm, or hot. Is that not what a microwave oven is intended to do? Of course, this is just a suggestion from a person who had to learn his lesson, the hard way!

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.

Booklet was inside the crock. Might want to check IF you can get one sent from customer service. Although any basic crock pot cookbook will probably tell you all you need to know. BTW, I no longer even know where my booklet is. Much safety information is common sense, too few recipes included to call it a useful cookbook for the crock pot in general. Most important... NEVER put cold water into a warm/hot crock... that MAY CRACK it so ALWAYS rinse or fill to soak with water similar in temperature to the crock itself, hot or cold. Also this removable crock is oven safe to about 350-400 degrees (lid is not)... and microwave safe but WHY? I cannot think of a reasonable need to use it in the microwave. NEVER place the crock on a stove top burner! And buy a good basic crockpot cookbook for small crockpots. A 3-quart crockpot is ample for cooking for 2 or 3 people but is small in comparison to some of the 5-quart and larger units for sale these days.

Hi Sue, I am trying to find out the answer and will get back to you. But as a general rule I NEVER put this on a stovetop that was just used or the oven is on because it is plastic and will warp and I don't want to ruin my investment. UPDATE I contacted the company and they stated the following: Regarding keeping the MCS on your stove while baking. That is a definite NO! Most baking is done at around 350 degrees and the heat of the oven will definitely warp the MCS. The MCS should be removed from the oven while baking. Also, the stove should be off and cool to the touch before placing the MCS on the stove. So as a general rule I just wait until EVERYTHING is cooled down BEFORE placing this cutting board/tray on top of the stove. I couldn't get an exact temperature. Hope that helps you Sue.

Not sure if it is, but I can state that 1 min in a 900watt caused the mug to be EXTREMELY HOT but the coffee was still cool. I didn't handle it for several minutes until the mug cooled because I was afraid it would fall apart. Love the mug, but I will never put it in the microwave again...

This is what's on the box I have. "Microwave Instructions: Thoroughly mix milk and cream with crme brle mix in a microwave safe 2 qt. bowl. Cook covered on high for 3 minutes. Stir, and cook for an additional 3 minutes. Follow directions above to complete." Hope this helps.

I have! 9 noodles, everything cooked the same as I always do lasagne. I believe I cooked it on 350*. Just cover with foil for majority of cook time. Turned out great!

I put my food in tin foil when reheating it. That helps keep it moist. I think it could reheat coffee or tea fine except the cup would be way too hot to handle. I use a glass Pyrex Flameware 6 cup Teapot for teas or coffee reheats.

Yes! What would be te use of coffee mugs that wouldn't permit coffee to be reheated in a microwave. In my house, if I can't find a cup, I look in the microwave for one that has been forgotten after reheating.

yes, Jordan, the Harold soup mug is definitely safe for microwave cooking, as well as for reheating. just know that the mug and handle can both get very hot in the mw, so you need to place harold on top of a mw-safe plate and then you will be able to easily remove the cooked food. I purchased a nordicware mw-able dinner plate. (from amazon). And don't forget to use a loose lid.I've used my harold mug 3-5 x weekly for months and months. My only style wish would be a second handle, but nobody asked my opinion.

That is terrible! Good thing the fire did not spread, too bad for the ruined microwaves. I have not used these in microwaves, I pour hot water in the bowls and lets the noodles steep for 4-5 minutes before eating. I am not sure if they are approved for the microwave, wish I had one so I could check the label. Have you looked to see if maybe they are not microwaveable?

When they give you 3 places it is recommended for (refrigerator, freezer, dishwaster) they are trying to avoid saying "NOT MICROWAVEABLE" Well, that's how I interpret it and I removed the label before I used it so I could wash it first, but I'm pretty sure that microwave is not a good idea. There are several times having a 2 1/2 cup measuring cup is a big help and saves a little time, so of course I had to own it. Leave in your cart awhile and see if price comes down...

You can use both at the same time. We sautéed in a small skillet on one side and cooked Mac and cheese on the other. It's just a bit slower than a regular stove top.

I love this one. 2 Cups powdered coffee creamer (like coffee-mate), 1/2 Cup cheddar cheese powder, 1 Tbsp parsley flakes, 1 Tbsp chicken bouillon powder, 2 tsp dried onion flakes, 2 Cups instant potato flakes, black pepper to your taste. What I like is, using this base, you can makes as much as you want. The ratio is one cup liquid to 1/2 Cup cheese soup mix. I make it a cup at a time, but you can make more. I have made this cup-of-soup in the microwave, but I prefer stovetop. Here's what I do: mix 1C water (or 3/4 C water and 1/4 C beer) 1/2 C soup mix. Whisk together, and heat over med-high until thick and bubbly. If it's too thin, cook it longer, if it's too thick, thin it down with some liquid. I add red pepper flakes or a bit of cayenne, (or both!). If you want a whole pot, use the 1C to 1/2 C ratio, but maybe pull back a little bit on the liquid. You can add more later if you need to.

I've never put mine in the microwave so I'm not sure. I will look on the bottom of the bowls to see if it is noted there. If there's no notation on the bottom, I'll do a quick zap in the microwave and see what happens. Will respond with results sometime this coming weekend as these bowls are at a vacation home and we'll be there this weekend.
