Are these dishes hot to touch after 5 or 6 min. in the microwave?

Yes, be sure to use an oven mitt. However, I love these dishes as they are safe to use in microwave and do not emit toxins per./Dr Oz show.

I do not lmicrowave that length of time on my plates or with my bowls; but I have for 2-3 minutes and as with all items, When removing from microwave I use caution, as they can be warm/hot to touch. I do not use my microwave to cook food on my plates or in my bowls, I use it to reheat food.

I have not found that they are hot to touch, however, if I do anything in the microwave for more than 3 minutes, I usually adjust my power setting to 70% or less. Foods generally come out better if you nuke them for more time at less power.

Yes, but they cool quickly. Protect your hands. We use ours (six 3-piece sets) all the time, and have done so for several years. They develop a few scratches on the eating surface, but that's from scraping utensils across them quite often when eating. And they've been through the dishwasher countless times, and hold up very well.

I have used ours in the microwave to heat food and they appear to work just fine. I haven't left them in the micro for more than 2-3 minutes.

Yes they are microwave safe. I've used them a number of times there and they stay fairly cool to the touch unless you nuke the food for over six minutes. This was my second set of this style and have had the first set over ten years.

Yes. To add on to someone's question about how hot they get after microwave use, they are not even close to my old Pfaltzgraf set, which I couldn't touch with my bare hands. These get fairly hot after minutes of microwaving, but if you're just warming something up briefly, you can touch them and they won't burn you. They're awesome.

They do get hot, but no different than porcelain bakeware I stick in there. I just use a dish towel or pot holder to take things out and let them sit for a minute. They are doing well in the dishwasher and I haven't chipped them yet.

I use them in my microwave all the time, but just for reheating, never over a couple of minutes. Never had any issues with melting.

They do get hot. I would suggest a kitchen towel or a pot holder when first getting them out. Also, the big plates are too big for your average microwave. So that might factor into your purchase as well. They are nice though. I have used them for over a year and I don't even have a chipped one yet. (With 2 kids that also use them regularly, that is an amazing feat.)

Never used in the oven. No problem with microwave. Have done bacon on them. All dishes get hot in microwave.

I have not used them in the microwave yet, but I love them for the lunches. We have 4 sets and I plan on buying someone soon, because there are 4 of us that use them all the time.

I've put them in the dishwasher and they haven't warped or melted, but I haven't put them in the microwave. I have mixed hot foods in them and it has not been a problem. They seem sturdy and durable enough to tolerate a fair amount of heat. Nothing too extreme. I would trust them in the microwave.

I have never microwaved them. I only use them for salads. They are made of glass, so I don't see why they wouldn't be for a short period of time. I just wouldn't go from the refrigerator to microwave because of the quick temperature changes. Because they are thin glass, there is more of a chance of breakage.

They are not microwavable safe according to the packaging, but I know my husband has inadvertently heated food up once or twice for 20-30 seconds, so I know they don't melt instantly! They are dishwasher safe, though the manufacturer recommends doing so no more than 10 times. I have not seen any degradation, however, after having put them in the dishwasher about two dozen times over the last two years. I do make sure to hand wash most often, though.

As I remember they were marked microwave safe. I never experienced a problem using them in the microwave. I was very pleased with these dishes overall.

No more so than any other plate. I heat up leftovers in the microwave on these plates and bowls often and I have never noticed that they became overly hot. I don't use them for boiling liquids so cannot answer for food at that temperature.

I've only put them in the microwave for short amounts of time (less than 4 minutes) but they do not get hot during that time.

I have never put them in microwave. They are glass so they will probably get hot. Just use a paper towel.
