I had no problem understanding I was getting one bowl but is it plastic or not? I am looking to use this larger bowl to microwave soup!

It is plastic. It might be good for soup but the oatmeal overflows so it's not good for that. They do have a soup cup that I use that holds about one can of soup. I actually returned this item.

Their containers are plastic. I use this one for oatmeal, and I have the larger noodle bowl for soup.

I think it should work for soup, but I never tried that. It's a good idea. It just didn't work for oatmeal.

It's awesome for soup and leftovers, just not oatmeal (unless it's instant- which I don't eat) Here's info http://sistemaplastics.com/products/microwave/Breakfast-BowlPlastic but not normal cheap plastic. Won't stain or melt. We love for soup.

I haven't bought many Pryex bowls so I cannot tell you whether that is a standard bowl. I needed a large glass container to store soup because I am avoiding plastic containers. This one was perfect because of its size and lid.

I do not think any plastic is safe in a microwave, they freeze well, and store my soups well. I help with meals for our church and use these to take soup and other meals to people. They go through the dishwasher great, no warped edges and good seal. I just transfer to paper or glass for microwave.... Hope this helps.

My husband absentmindedly microwaved one, it held up well, but if your looking for safe then these are plain reCycled plastic and I wouldn't recommend microwaving

I'll try to answer. They are essentially like the Pyrex Mixing Bowls, etc. that you were used to. They can handle hot liquids. I would say you can microwave them better than plastic left over bowls, especially if you've some type of tomato paste in them which would stain plastic. They are not too heavy. They are lighter weight for their size than the Pyrex bowls. I'm guessing 3/16" thick. I liked them for their lightweight.

The lid is plastic, and yes, it is microwave safe. The bowl is ceramic, the bottom plastic, and if you put it in the microwave to do say rice, when you take it out, the bottom is cool, the lid is warmish, and the bowl is warmish or a little more. I treasure mine.. I use it for my evening meal, and that is to say the bowl is fairly large so you can do rice and veggies and wind up with a good meal. Good stuff this bowl.

In my opinion, it works great for heating and eating soup and other dishes. I use them at work to microwave my lunches and they really do the job; and they do it without using plastics that can leave chemicals in the food when heated. The extended edge of the bowl lets you carry it around without touching the really hot portion. I have to admit that when I fill them too full (where they start to spill and get too heavy) they begin to feel weak when I get them really hot. A regular size can of Campbell's soup would never be a problem though. Hope this helps.

I microwaved the bowl with lid for 3 minutes and it was fine. Didn't melt the lid and the bowl didn't really retain much heat. So it can be microwaved.

It's not plastic, but some kind of heavy duty cardboard. It has held up well, but I'm the only one that uses it and I love it. I don't think, however, that I would try to hang it. You could sit it on a shelf maybe to pull the needed amount of wrap out, but it works best for me to just place it to the side or behind the item I want to cover, then pull the wrap out and over the bowl, etc. Then use the cutter.

The label said "Dishwasher Safe, Unbreakable, PBA free, Made in USA". No mentioned of "Microwave"! It's too big to fit comfortably in my microwave. I imagine the "very" hot food / liquid will not do well in this bowl.

Yes it is. The bowl is completely glass, and there is a hard plastic base to prevent slipping while attached to the mixer. Both are microwave safe!

I'm sorry, we use this as a weighted water bowl for our cats... cause they are knock-it-over types. I haven't tried it in the microwave. It feels as if it would be both Microwave and Dishwasher safe. It is that kind of hard plastic. Hope that helps.

I'm not concerned about the material. It feels and looks like what you would expect from stoneware. If you think about ceramic bowls with the handle that some restaurants use to serve French Onion Soup, you'll understand why it is non-stick. Stoneware is basically a ceramic (i.e., earthenware) that is fired at a much higher temperature. So, it is suitable for use in a microwave (all ceramics cannot be put in a microwave). Get yourself a set...you won't regret it!

Mine have held up fine through many re-heats (although mine are different than this picture, the lids are hard plastic with a rubber gasket and snap on). The glass bowl certainly is microwave safe, so if you are extra-conscious about plastic in the microwave, just take the lid off.

I never put anything plastic in a microwave. You can remove the top and cover with a paper plate or paper towel to reheat.

Honestly, I don't know. I am in the habit of never microwaving plastic, so I haven't done so with mine. I do love the bowls however!
