is this bowl microwave safe?

We know they are dishwasher safe, because we regularly clean them that way, and there are no problems. But we've never put them in a microwave. Why would you put a cat dish in a microwave?

You can place hot items such as soups in this bowl. I have put the bowl in the microwave with no problems.

Yes! Microwave safe..... But do be very careful when washing... If the glass slips off your hand.... Say good bye!

I own the small plates, large, and small bowls and have put the plates and small bowls in microwave without a problem. Haven't had the occasion to put the large bowls in the microwave yet.

No. but I base that on my believing that all plastics will succumb to the damage microwaves can do over time. The bowl get very hot so I remove it with potholders and put it directly in the plastic caddy. The caddy always stays nice and cool to the touch and will never warp from over use in the microwave. Hope that helps.

I have not used it in the microwave myself, but I have read that it is microwave safe EXCEPT for the inner translucent lid. Hope this helps!

I know that it is dishwasher safe. There are some pieces of Johnson Bros. that is oven safe but it says it on the bottom. I don't know why it would not be microwave safe but do not actually know.

No. On the bottom of the bowl it says do not use in the microwave. Sorry it looks like you should be able to. :(

Hi Joneve, I've put these bowls in the microwave several times, with no problem. Don't think I would leave them in for very long time, though. Really love these bowls!

I don't recall if it is or not bit I would not recommend microwaving any food in any plastic container. The super heat of the microwave is sure to degrade plastic and cause release of chemicals into the food.

If you heat something too long/too hot it would affect the temperature of the bowl, but if you are careful to remove it mostly by touching the lip of the bowl, you should be okay. They are a thinner microwave plastic than I prefer.

My husband ordered these bowls and we have thoroughly enjoyed their use. We aren't sure about whether they are rated for microwave use, but we personally would not use them in the microwave. There are small rubberized areas (handle and bottom of bowls) which, for us, would exclude this option.

Yes, place the bowl and the red plastic caddy in the microwave. The plastic part stays cool to the touch. The handle makes it easy to remove the bowl when the heating time is finished.

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.

Yes. The bowls appear to be microwave safe. However, after heating water for one minute in the bowl, you need a hot pad to remove it from the microwave. Knowing this, I would still buy this set. I think because the bowls are delicately designed is why they retain the heat. However, they are very durable.

Yes, it is glass, therefore the bowl is microwaveable. The lid is NOT microwaveable!

I only put mine in the microwave to melt butter not problems with heat. The box does say microwave safe. I love my my bowls. I did go ahead and throw the small one in microwave with some water. The bowl only got hot in the area where the water touched. I had the water 3/4 full in the bowl and ran for 3 minutes and although hot could remove the bowl with out hot pads. The portion of the bowl with no water was not hot at all. Hope that helps with your question.
