The instructions say "Freezer to microwave safe!" So why does an inner instruction sheet say you have to defrost frozen food before microwaving it?

Safe in both separately . Change in temperature that severe might shatter glass. The problem being the glass is also frozen. I'm sure if the glass was refrigerator/room temperature you could use it to defrost in the microwave.

Well, I think the reasoning is that the same dish can be used from freezer to microwave, and although defrosting is recommended you don't have to remove it from the freezer dish while defrosting prior to microwaving.

Have not tried freezer to microwave yet, although I think it should be ok with lid removed?

I'm sorry, I've never frozen any food in the dishes. But, I would guess that they would not heat the frozen food without the glass getting too hot. I find they are best for refrigerator storage. My food stays fresh more than twice as long as in other containers.

I have cooked frozen meat in this slow cooker a number of times. Cracking could be a problem I think if the setting were on high and there was no liquid in the slow cooker. I always start on low and use a little liquid to avoid the possibility of cracking.

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

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.

I don't know the technical details..BUT the inverter defrost manages to defrost without leaving part of the food frozen, and another portion cooked.

I would say that you may not want to do this. The do make bags especially for microwave steaming. You may want to contact the company directly for that questions. I am always Leary of chemical leaching on to food. I use these but do not microwave them. I rarely microwave to defrost or cook that is a personal preference.

I'm afraid I've never tried to go straight from the freezer to the microwave. I know they work fine in the freezer and fine in the microwave. They are a hard plastic and I would be surprised if there was a problem.

When I put mine in the freezer, I left it thaw before putting in the microwave

I've cleaned mine in the dishwasher with no ill effects. It is after all just anodized metal (probably aluminum). However, that's usually overkill, since I usually thaw food still freezer wrapped, so a wipe with a paper towel or sponge with a little dish soap and rinse is all it takes. Never had anything stick to it, so I've never scoured it.

The manufacturer says the big bags are food safe but should not be used in the microwave. The seal is very sturdy and dependable. If you are putting the plastic box into the bag, it should work fine as an extra layer of protection. If you are putting the kimchee in the bag and then into the box, I wonder if it wouldn't be more convenient to use several one-gallon sized freezer bags. Good luck!

I melt it in the microwave oven using defrost setting, and in a microwave save container.

I didn't find any. I have tested by using similar products that had microwaveable instructions. Internet and a sense of experimentation are your best assets.

Yes, I put mine in the microwave and dishwasher. I believe that it is also oven and freezer safe but I don't use it in either of these.

I have Ben using them to freeze meals for quite some time. I think they do very well. I put them directly into the microwave to heat. However, I have found it is better to remove the lid. The microwave seems to shrink the lid and the next time I try to use the lid it is very hard to put it on the bowl. I enjoy eating from the glass bowl rather than plastic.

I'm not sure but I do not think food from a frozen state would crisp in the microwave because there is too much moisture. The potato and veggie slices must be dried with a paper towel/towel prior to placing on the chip maker.

I've read the instructions and it says that "Can be used in a preheated oven, microwave oven, refrigerator or freezer." There are some warning about microwave use, such as do not heat an empty or nearly empty glassware in the microwave and a couple of other warnings that you should read the instructions for. However overall the answer is, yes it is ok to heat food in the microwave with the lid on.

I'm not sure. It works really well for me. Frozen dinners cooks as the instructions say. Toasts bread as expected. I am really happy with this product.
