I'm assuming that plastic lids can not be used in microwave,true?

I think it would be all right to microwave with the lids if you left them loose over the dish and for a very short time - 10 or 20 seconds.

I'm not sure what Corning Ware says but, I use the lids in the microwave all the time when l reheat food in the containers. I just pop one of the sides up to let steam escape.

I use the plastic lids in the microwave all the time and I have not found it to be a problem.

I use the lids to microwave leftovers. And, since the lid expands a little when it's heated but the corningware doesn't, it will vent by itself without keeping one side open.

Yes! That is why I bought them. They are great plastic mixing bowls and can be used in the microwave-- a rare combination. I use them in our RV.

Yes. I always remove the lid, though. It may not be necessary, I just never leave plastic lids attached when in the microwave. they are really nice-easy to see the contents.

No they are not microwave safe and they are not labeled microwave safe. In general heating plastic releases carcinogens. Microwaving with a glass pyrex measuring cup and pouring in the contents does the job well.

I haven't tried to put them in the microwave but I would think so as it's glass. Apologies I can't be of more help.

I just read that they are not recommended for use in the microwave. Oops. :P

I unsnap the lids and leave them setting loose on top of the container. I suppose if you are worried about the whole plastic issue you could instead cover with a paper towel. Whatever you do, just do not microwave with the lids locked on.

I doubt it. They are plastic. I haven't and wouldn't even try it. I have put them in the microwave. But I avoid microwaves as much as possible myself. Just my preference on reheating food.

According to the Product Description, "Usable in heats up to 420 degrees F." I would surmise that applies to microwaves, but it isn't specified in the ad copy. However, most heating scenarios would cause pressure to build so, if one of these lids is sealed tight to a container, there would likely be a sudden and messy, if not hazardous, release of that pressure. I have not yet purchased this product, so I don't know if there are additional instructions included that might allow such use.

Yes but I don't know if the plastic is safe for the food it self. The containers micro without any damage but the plastic might penetrate fumes into the food. I put my food in glass containers or use a paper plate to microwave. I carry non microwave foods in the small containers,like fresh fruit. Hope these helps you

I would not place these in the microwave. Plastic seems too flimsy and may melt.

I don't prefer using lids in microwave although this can be because repeated cycles of heating can cause it to warp. Definitely a no in conventional ovem

I have not tried to do that, but they should be OK if you're not cooking for long periods. I generally avoid putting ANY plastic in a microwave for a number of reasons.

I'm not sure... They are dishwasher safe, but I don't think it's recommended to use in the microwave because of the toxins in the plastic.

I am sorry to reply you so late. Yes there is no any problem to use in microwave.

Yes, that's how I used mine. It's definitely NOT for use in a microwave, though.

No. The polyethylene plastic of which they are made is not suitable for use in a microwave oven.
