Are they hot to the touch when in microwave

Typically no. I use them in the microwave all the time and they do not overheat. The only time I've noticed them getting hot to the touch has been when I microwaved a bowl of water for five minutes to steam clean my microwave. That time the bowl got pretty hot and I needed to use a towel, but that's been the case with every bowl I've ever done that in.

Understand what you mean. We have some red cups for which the clay body must contain some iron and they get very hot in the microwave. That is NOT true for set of white dishes we purchased liked this.

No, these do not get hot. We are able to remove plates/bowls/cups without the whole container taking on heat from the microwave. Areas not in direct contact with food/liquid being heated are not hot. HTH

I have not used them in the microwave yet, but I love them for the lunches. We have 4 sets and I plan on buying someone soon, because there are 4 of us that use them all the time.

Yes. To add on to someone's question about how hot they get after microwave use, they are not even close to my old Pfaltzgraf set, which I couldn't touch with my bare hands. These get fairly hot after minutes of microwaving, but if you're just warming something up briefly, you can touch them and they won't burn you. They're awesome.

They don't get hot in microwave. Only complaint that I have, which is personal preference, is that plates are thick(I like thin but didn't realize until using these). However, they've been durable and for the cost are a home run.

Sorry, dont know as I have never put them in a microwave. I doubt it tho, as I am pretty sure the whole crock would get hot.

I assume so, but like any plastic cup it will feel hot to the touch - the plastic isn't super thick - I wouldn't microwave them to warm them up though.

I've only put them in the microwave for short amounts of time (less than 4 minutes) but they do not get hot during that time.

I have used the bowls in the microwave and they do get hot. I hold the bowl with a dish cloth while I'm eating from it. There has been no damage to them. They are microwave safe. I love those dishes.

Yes. I use them in the microwave all the time. When you heat water for tea, the outside of the glass barely gets warm.

Yes, they are microwave safe, but because of the darkness of the underside of the dishes, they ten to get pretty hot to handle.

They are very microwave friendly. We use them daily for soup and cereals and anything edible. They're great bowls.

I would say no. They aren't supposed to be exposed to extreme temperature changes and it seems to me a microwave would heat them too quickly.

I am not sure but they would get very hot and I wouldn't chance it. Maybe go directly to their website for confirmation? They do heat up in the microwave.

Yes, but they cool down comparatively fast to the food - of course, the longer in the microwave, the longer the cool down process.

We have not had any problems using them in the microwave so far, but watch out for superheating. They're pretty smooth, so it may look like water isn't boiling in them, and then the moment you put something in the water, explosive boiling.
