This might help: The instructions say....Microwave re-heating: never transfer the container straight from freezer/refrigerator to microwave; always wait for the container to get to room temperature. Remove lid before placing the container in the microwave; select a medium- low power program(maxtemp +70 C / +158 F) never use the crisp/browning function. The hot container should never be placed on a wet or cold surface: please use a trivet or other protection. Attention: it is recommended not to heat up foods that are high in fat or sugar because they can reach very high temperatures resulting in possible breakage of the glass.

FlowerPower, I would not do that. These jugs are very solid and durable, but they aren't designed for that sort of thing. While I would have no qualms about pouring boiling water into mine, for tea...I would never boil water in the microwave, in mine. Besides, when you boil that amount of water in the microwave, you risk a latent boil over, which is when the water looks like it's stopped bubbling...until you start to move it, and then it explodes into a bubbling, boiling, burning mess, all over your microwave and your hands. If you are going to use it to boil water in the microwave, at least leave a wooden spoon in it while it's heating. That will help to stop the latent boil over.

Yes, it can be used in the microwave. I've reheated my coffee in it without any problems.

Never put a glazed teapot in the microwave. Always boil water in a kettle, scald the teapot with a bit of boiled water, dispose of the water used to scald the pot, add loose tea, and then brew the tea. If you have only a microwave, use a glass container to boil the water.

I have never put mine in the microwave, but if you take the top off and the strainer out it is all glass. So I cannot see why it would not be OK in the microwave. It is easy enough to put the strainer in after the water is heated if you do not fill it too full.

Yes. It works like a champ in the microwave. Use mine usually twice a day for tea.

Yes, I have used this to boil water for 3 minutes in the microwave on high with no issues. Of course, be careful it will be very hot- however the handle should be OK.

Yes, you can. I use microwave to heat water filled bag for 6 minutes at 1000 W. I didn't experience any problem.

I have not used in microwave and would not. I was always taught no metal in microwave, this mug is very much metal. Heat your drink and transfer to the mug it will keep it hot

I don't think you can heat it up in microwave. It has tendency to catch fire.

I don't know. I don't heat water up in the microwave. The band around the cup is some kind of rubber or other substance and I don't think it would do well in the microwave but I don't know for sure. But I do love the cup. I bought it for my Mom who has Alzheimer's when she started spilling coffee everytime she drank it. It's the right size, not to big or small, and the top has held up through use after use after use.

Never in the microwave, but I always thawed and heated by putting it into very hot tap water before transferring to a bottle.

Yes it's fine in the microwave. I haven't done that much, but had no problem when I did.

I think one should be able to heat it with hot water. I don't have this product, but i am thinking of buying it and am scared of heating things in microwave. http://www.mercola.com/article/microwave/hazards2.htm

It is not recommend. Product is rated up to 110 degree Celsius (water boils at 100 degree Celsius). Food can get hotter than that in a microwave.

A finite answer is not possible because the power of microwaves variy. If all you need is a cup of water, even a low powered microwave may be a good choice. However, if you want to fill a tea pot with boiling water, use the electric kettle. It's faster!
