I know this says microwave safe but....i need one that doesn't get too hot to touch after cooking oatmeal in it? Is this heat resistant at handle?

I have not microwaved anything in this, but I have with their coffee mugs, and the handles don't get hot. I'm sure these will be the same.

You can grab it from the microwave with no problem. I reheat my coffee every day & the handle is never hot.

i think so - as i put extremely hot coffee into my mug daily - and i have no trouble picking it up by the handle almost immediately - and the heat does not transfer to the handle over time - so no problem. one caveat - as you appear to be female, i would warn you that this is a pretty heavy mug - which at first bothered me, but i've learned how to pick it up so the weight no longer is an issue. however, i'm male, 6 feet and 182 pounds.

I use mine in the microwave occasionally to reheat a beverage that has gotten cold and I've never had a problem with the handle getting hot.

I've put mine in the microwave many times with no bad effects. I will note that I don't leave the lid closed just ajar so food doesn't splatter out.

It - the handle - warms up a little (yes it is touchable) in microwave but doesn't get too hot to touch.

You bet! I leave it in the microwave every morning boiling up steel cut oats, and it is fine.

Definitely not. I just put one in the microwave for 2 minutes on High to make oatmeal. Had been doing this all week. Heard a loud pop, stopped the microwave, and the entire bowl had shattered leaving tiny shards of glass everywhere. I took photos and am writing to the company.

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.

I have put warm oatmeal in the squeeze bag and it seemed fine. I'm not sure it could tolerate piping hot puree, but if you let it cool a bit it would be okay. I guess you would just want to be careful of little hands touching the squeeze pouch with the hot stuff in it.

It's not safe to do this; the handle woud get too hot. Use a ceramic cup to warm your milk in the microwave instead!

Some of you say you are able to cook in this bowl and others say it overflows. I use quick and easy steel cut oatmeal. Does this type cook well in the bowl without overflow?

IMO, most of the answers to this question miss the point. Dishwasher safe? Sure. Microwave safe? No. It's plastic! The real risk is damage to humans who eat food from microwaved plastic, not damage to the plastic product itself. As the manufacturer said in it's answer, they don't recommend microwaving anything plastic.

It is not microwave safe. It has a shiny silver trim around the edge. Noritake also mentioned not to use any dish wash detergent or soap with citric.

Yes! I find that if I put the handle.in the center of the microwave, it never gets hot. Same for all.of my other mugs.

I haven't bought or used this particular container. However, I have cooked oatmeal in the microwave many many times. I have had it overflow in different containers, but stay in the bowl in the same container another time. I haven't tried lowering the power although that might help. The issues that seem to cause overflow are how full the container is, how long it is cooked without being stirred or the door opened to stop the rise of the oatmeal. I have used both old fashioned and quick cooking oats. Both have overflowed. The container needs to be big enough to hold the oatmeal and have room for the oats to rise.
