Are the glasses safe to use in microwave ovens and are they break-resistant?

I put them in the microwave quite regularly and nothing has happened to them. I like drinking warm water sometimes; so I microwave a glass of water for a minute or two. These glasses are super sturdy.

I've never add a reason to put these in the microwave. As far as break resistant, I've used Libbey glasses for over 30 years. The ones I've broken I accidentally hit the glass rather forcefully against something hard and broke 2 of them. But I've dropped them, and lightly banged them, but they haven't broken. They are fairly sturdy. Definitely not fragile like crystal is. I've even put them in the bottom of the dishwasher many times with no problems.

I have not used them in the microwave-we have used these for about 6 months-- we have not had any breakage or chipping at all. I have dropped them into the open dishwasher from counter height, dropped them from the second shelf taking them out of the cupboard and knocked them over on the counter with no problems. These glasses are much 'tougher' than any I have purchased prior. I would certainly buy them again.

Yes they are microwave safe. Don't try to cook in them but fine for quick heating.

Yep, and as they are glass, they are much more safe in both than any plastic. Just be sure to wash the tops on the top rack in the dishwasher, and leave them out of the microwave, as you would any plastic tops.

No, they are not microwave safe! Plate broke in two after microwaving under 3 minutes.

Yes - I have used them in the microwave. It is printed on the bottom that they are microwave and dishwasher safe.

I use them in the microwave all the time without any problems. The glass is really thick.

They are only advertised as being microwave and dishwasher safe so I believe they would not be oven safe.

Not sure about microwave safe but they are definitely oven safe. I made human cookies leaving out baking soda and baking powder and they turned out great and very humorous.

I have used them in the microwave with no problems. I have not put them in the oven.

Yes, but I recommend heating the water inside the mug. I've cracked several by pouring very hot water in them or by washing with cool water when still very warm. I never had one break when heating water in a microwave oven, even to the boiling point (by accident).

I have never put one in the oven, but I have put it in the microwave oven and dishwasher I have been using them for quite a few months and none have broken yet.

Yes they are microwave safe. Dishwasher safe. They work well in the freezer also.

It is dishwasher safe and microwave safe. I love the durability and the look of these glasses. Hope this helps.

Yes, they work perfectly in the microwave. They never come out hot to the touch (we've only microwaved them for 2minutes at most). We use them every day. Great glass!

I think so. They are a very thick glass. I wouldn't think twice about putting one in the microwave.

It is definitely microwave safe. I use them to melt butter or steam veggies all the time. I do not know about oven safe. I have never used any of them in the oven. I seem to recall that the packaging said that the larger ones were oven safe, but I am not sure about that.

Yes, no problem at all in microwave. I have been using them for a few years and never an issue. Dishwasher safe too. Never had any breakage. If you stack them, I suggest folding a paper towel or two in the bottom bowl. It just keeps any accidental banging from chipping. They are sturdy but I like to be careful. I love mine.
