Are the bowls microwave-safe?

Hi Tori! I had to dump one out and read the bottom, it says "Hand Crafted Stoneware, Dishwasher and Microwave safe". And, by looking at it and feeling it, I would be comfortable putting in a microwave. Hope that helps!

Absolutely not! They are not made for high temps like the oven; however, they are definitely microwave friendly.

I have never used them in the microwave. Sorry I can't answer your question. I can tell you that I love the bowls, though!!!

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that. I haven't used them in the microwave. I had the WS nesting bowls too, and found that over time, microwaving was not kind to them. I doubt it was the microwave itself, but rather the very hot contents. I'd ask Oggi.

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.

The probably are not microwave safe since the colors include cobalt blue. We use ours in a dishwasher with no ill effects.

They seem to be made from the same material as the bowls, and the bowls are micro-safe (see Product Description in the link below). That said, I've never tried to microwave anything in the snack cups. http://www.amazon.com/The-First-Years-Bowls-Colors/dp/B000096M2Z/ref=pd_cp_ba_0

They are dishwasher and microwave safe. They do get very hot in the microwave for 5 minutes, but I wouldn't push it past those minutes. But, yes I love these bowls.

Yes, we use the bowls in the microwave and heat soup with them often. If I remember correctly they are also safe to 350 degrees in the oven.

I no longer own them, but as I recall they are microwave-safe. I used them to reheat food and occasionally even as a cover for other plates I would microwave.

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

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.

I use mine in the microwave a lot. I can't remember if the label said they were, I know they are dishwasher safe.

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, the bowls are microwave safe. I mostly use them for melting butter and melting coconut oil. I also use them to put small amounts of cinnamon, salt, etc., in when I am cooking. The little attached "handles" make the bowls real easy to grip. I have a cat, but have never used them to feed the cat - will try and let you know.

No. They're not dishwasher safe either. I did not put them in the dishwasher or the microwave and yet three of my bowls cracked within two weeks of having them. They are very flimsy and not good quality. They were returned but for some reason I was charged a return fee! So I did not all my money back. DO NOT BUY.

I have used them in the microwave with no problem. The box says dishwasher safe but doesn't speak to microwave-safeness. They're made of pretty sturdy glass- not delicate. I love these bowls - glad I bought two sets!
