It kinda looks like toole. I use it all the time in the microwave. I have not had any problems with it. In fact I will say that it is my favorite one to use in the microwave.

it is more like a net you would use to strain stuff the little red dots that hold it down I'm unsure of but I've been using one for quite a long time. They really stop stuff from splattering all over the microwave and they wash and clean up very well just hot water and soap. As one person said it's more like cheese cloth but the holes are more open.

I don't have the packing anymore either but I don't remember it being made of plastic.

It is a very fine mesh nylon fabric. It does not melt, the red beads are glued on and prevents the fabric from flying off. I do not know what the beads are made of, but could be plastic. They do not melt. Because the fabric is so fine nothing splashes through it. It lasts a long time . I've used the same cloth for at least a couple of years. It can also be used as a straining cloth, just put it over your container and fasten with a rubber band around it. After use, just rinse under water and roll in your dish towel and it is dry. I love it. I don't want to use anything else in my microwave as a splash guard. It is a very fine mesh nylon fabric.

The package says "FDA approved" space age material. Doesn't feel like plastic- it almost feels like fabric. Hope this helps - I really like it!

I don't remember that any instructions came with it.. but all I can tell you that it works. I've used it a dozen times and nothing burns up unless overused. It does spot up after use but a quick rinse under water and a few rubs and its gone. It's nice because you can lay it over anything as you cook.

I no longer have the packaging, but I think I remember it stating that it was made of 100% food grade silicone

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.

Plastic. The only part that's not microwave safe in my experience is the little lid between the head and the hat.

Wow, I hadn't thought of that. I nuke it on a regular basis. It's held up well as far as shape but I guess the question is does it leech any plastic chemicals? UPDATE: While cleaning it, read on the inside that it's microwave safe.

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

This is hard plastic. It says not to put them in the oven but they go well in the dishwasher. Probably not good for microwave either

It is a type of hard plastic, but I'm sorry that I don't know if it is microwave safe, if that is what you're considering. it seems to be quite durable, though I've never dropped it into the floor.

These are plastic made for the microwave. Very nice set with the vented lids.

just checked my basket... looks like very fine mesh not made out of any metal... very flexible, it's the best for coffee pot, no need for paper filter.

It is plastic. I am not sure what kind but unlike all of the other plastic covers for the microwave that I have had, it does not "pit". With ALL of them, once hot food or sauce splatters on them, they form a pit in the area where the food splashes (or is actually burning it). This one however does not.

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

No. Its a plastic container(I think) and If you microwave it I assume something bad will happen! Just dont do it :)

microwave cookware is made of plastic designed for the high tempatures of cooking, for other plasticware you need to check the package or the bottom to see if it can be used in a microwave.

I have no idea what is inside. I bought it because it is made in one piece and doesn't separate from the handle. I wouldn't put this in the microwave...too pricey! Love it!

The product description says that they are not microwavable. Melamine is like that; it's great on all fronts by microwave makes the plastic slowly become brittle and any oil or fat in the food you are microwaving reacts in weird ways with the bowl to stain or even blister. In our house, we never microwave plastic. Nuke it in glass, transfer to plastic.

The mesh is not metal. It is super fine, but I don't know if it's a fabric like nylon or some kind of plastic. Check out my Sunny's Mom review on how I care for it. I love it---use it all the time and it works great.
