After cooking for 5 minutes, the bacon is cooked perfectly, however the tray gets VERY HOT. Is this plastic really microwave safe?

I do two things to make it easier. First, I put a piece of paper towel on the bottom tray. This makes clean-up better. Then, I place the bacon tray on a microwave safe tray and remove that with the bacon tray because it doesn't get hot. I love the way it does bacon. It's perfect for us because four pieces of bacon fit perfectly. Hope this helps. :)

Yes it is. I put paper towels on the tray and clean up is easier. Love this tray.

I've used it numerous times, I use a hot pad to take it from the microwave, but it's held up great. I've been using it for 5 months

I literally bake everything on it. I have not tried bacon though. The only thing that will damage it is cutting it or putting it in the dishwasher. At least that is my experience

It is made of some kind of plastic. Not sure of the exact dimensions because I sold it at a garage sale, but you can fit about 5 pieces of bacon on it. I do not recommend this product. Just use a plate with paper towels in the microwave.

I have used briefly in microwave for some 30 seconds with no problem. I'm not sure that I would use any longer. I heat the water in another dish and pour into the bottom of the warming plate. Generally well pleased with dish. Keeps food warm for feeding. Kathy Summers

this microwave plate is not meant to keep food hot. It is like any other microwavable plastic, it is meant to store and warm up foods. What is special about this plate is when you warm the food up in the microwave, you open the air vent and food warms up uniformly and does not splash all over the inside of the microwave. Not like other plastics that you have to crack the corner. I take my lunch to work in it. I have Sistemas other products with the same air vent, which are great for soup and chili.

It is plastic, so I wouldnt...(its fairly thick plastic, but no plastic is safe in a microwave)

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.

Ooooops, was I supposed to microwave it? I obviously didn't read the directions. I have been using it for weeks without any problems. Hope that helps

This plastic is designed to be used in a microwave. I used mine all the time with no problems.

for the most part, yes. The compartments you put your food in are plastic and the box is plastic but there's a metal plate on the bottom that does the warming of the food. the plastic compartments are microwave safe as well.

NO! I put the top container in the microwave to heat up some pasta - on 1/2 power for 1 minute and it seared the plastic. It's still useable, but deformed a little. Don't microwave these things.

I know nothing of that. The tray is completely rubber, there is no metal on it whatsoever, so I do not think it would spark in the microwave.

I've used the white Plate Holders in the microwave for maybe 5 minutes without issue - I assume the black holders are made of the same plastic as the white holders.

It states microwave safe on the info. I have used it in the microwave with no problems.

Hi Deborah H. I don't remember if there were instruction. But, it's pretty simple to use. Just put your bacon on the tray, cover it and set the microwave to cook. I use mine on high and with 4 pieces of bacon I set it to cook about 4 mins. With 5 pieces I set it for 4 1/2 mins. You can always cook longer if its not done to your liking. I hope this helps you.

It's best not to microwave it because of the sensitive sticker that changes design. I microwaved mine and it eventually stopped changing. Now it's just an overlay of both happy and sad. =/

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.
