Bought them for my 100 year old Mom and she loves them frozen. She wanted me to ask if the cover needs to be removed before microwaving? How long?

I'd take it off to keep it clean, but I don't suppose that it has to be, it's cloth.

It depends on the wattage of your microwave, but generally between 10-20 seconds. If the bag plumps up, you've done it about 5 seconds too long!

From both of those failed attempts sound like you are cooking them too long. Adjust your cooking time down by half and then add 30 sec to a min until they come out the way you like them. Also, you need to remember they will continue cooking for a min or two after you remove them from the microwave. You are adding some water, aren't you?

If I only want a little, just rub your finger(s) across the top a couple times. If you need more, stick in the microwave (on defrost cycle) for 5-10 seconds.

I would not microwave them....in fact, they are rather fragile...but, beautiful. not for everyday use though...

I honestly don't know. Since they can not go in a microwave (or oven) I would be afraid to put in the freezer due to extreme cold. I would be afraid they could crack. I love my bowls so much, that even though they say they can go in the dishwasher, I choose to wash by hand.

Airen, you have to take them out of the freezer for a few minutes before you plan to eat them. We put ours in a cup of warm water for about 5-10 minutes. It will then be melted just enough to slip it out of the casing.

I have not tried to microwave them to date. You could prob do it for a few seconds as I often will microwave my butter container to melt it & that is plastic as well. Good luck!

I always freeze them right away - they thaw very quickly - just get them out as you need them. I have noticed a deterioration in flavor after several years in the freezer, but they certainly last a long time. I would guess a year would be just fine.

They have been safe in a freezer as longas you leave space at top. They work okay in micro wave but I use plastic wrap instead of lid because lids warp with heat. Have never tried to use in oven

It says do not microwave on the bottom of the plate, but they are dishwasher safe. I haven't tried microwaving as I prefer not to cook on plastic.

I've never tried freezing but really like them for my daughter. They're safe and a great size and I feel that I'm not microwaving chemicals. I am sure if you google the mfr instructions it will specify. I bought 4 and am glad I did!

We have frozen them, put them in the dishwasher (both top and bottom rack) and the microwave. They are tough.

I have not used them in the microwave yet. I would think taking it off would be ideal but really don't know.

I Don't use one, never have. If you are doing frozen knock about 2 minutes off of the package time, shrimp are great in it 5 to 7 minutes, it will vary on the power of your microwave and the amount you put in. BE VERY CAREFUL TAKING THYE LID OFF, HOT STEAM DOES COME OUT.

I've reheated mine when they were not completely cool, but I reduced the heating time in the microwave. A few years ago, I over heated one of mine (I put one in the microwave one early morning while I was bleary eyed.) I accidently hit 14 minutes instead of 7 or 8. When I came back in the kitchen, the outside plastic had melted allowing the inside liquid to leak out. It was gooey and stunk to high heaven. As long as you use the recommended heating times, and don't go overboard like I did, you will be fine. I've been using these for years with no problems, other than the one I caused.

Wish I could help you, but I won't be back at my home for another month. I really wasn't worried about that because I remembered that it states that they can't be put in the microwave. I never intended them for anything but salads (and maybe something like a cold appetizer).

I've had mine a few months. I wash them and put them right back in the freezer until I need them again. Sometimes they are in the freezer for weeks between uses. So far no problems.
