Has anyone tried to use this dish in the microwave? We desperately need a butter dish that will not heat up and melt the tender bottom of the butter.

I put butter on it after washing with really hot water and the butter on the bottom melted, but I love it because it easily holds a stick of butter, which a lot of them don't.

Even as this dish is microwave safe, it will heat up and where ever you have heat, the butter will soften and melt. Why would you want to heat the butter dish? If you just want room temperature, leave it out of the fridge for an hour or so.

So sorry. I responded incorrectly. It says not to put these dishes in the microwave. Having said that, I will say that I have put them in the microwave, and they were ok. Please disregard previous answer.

No. You can't use it in the microwave, so I never used it for anything hot. I love the design but have broken 2 and switched to silicone which bounces.

Absolutely! Personally I prefer butter but u can do either/or! Measure ur microwave tho as mine was too small for the container so that I "have" to buy a taller one. it was about 1/2" too tall. Enjoy! Terry M.

Ooooops, was I supposed to microwave it? I obviously didn't read the directions. I have been using it for weeks without any problems. Hope that helps

The bowls do not get hot in the microwave, not anymore than any other dish. I love them.

Take it out of the package and use a microwavable plate that works best. And yes it does taste better when you microwave it. I hope that helped Chris.

Actually, we gave those dishes to our granddaughter. I believe they aare supposed to be safe in the microwave, but I have no idea if they get hot in the mw. They are really pretty, and we've not heard any complaints from her!

While I believe that it is safe for the microwave, the food will stain the white surface. I always heat the food in a pan or a glass bowl and then serve it on the plate.

Yes, I just tried it for the first time now and it works just fine in the microwave. It is just so cute! Have a wonderful day. Sharon Shifflette

I use them in the microwave all the time, but probably not more than a minute or so. Have had absolutely no problems. I love these dishes!!

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'm sorry I don't know the answer to that. I haven't used them in the microwave. I had the WS nesting bowls too, and found that over time, microwaving was not kind to them. I doubt it was the microwave itself, but rather the very hot contents. I'd ask Oggi.

I researched this before answering you and found either no information or that it was not microwaveable. Not one source said it was safe to microwave. If memory serves, i believe the leaflet that came with this thermal said it was not microwaveable. Still a nice product though!

Hi, Judith, I've put the pot in the microwave without a problem mainly to reheat prepared tea on defrost (works great---no loss of flavor) or to heat the water in order to heat the teapot. However, I would never use the microwave to heat the water for tea because it is impossible to gauge if the water is the correct temperature. My guess is that it would be difficult to find any pottery made nowadays which was not microwaveable, don't you think?

When you microwave the plates do the plates themselves get abnormally hot. I have had porcelain dishes that when you microwave them they are warm after microwaving, but I have had some stoneware plate before and with the same time in the microwave they get really hot. Where do these dishes come out on the after microwave hotness scale? Thanks!

it says it is not recommended on the bottom but I believe it is not that it won't stand up to the microwave but because the bowl get hot which people are not accustom to. We have used these type bowls, plates, glasses etc for years in microwaves with no problems. Malamine is fantastic but the only draw back is they do get hot.
