I am thinking of purchasing 2 sets of these plates. How microwave friendly are they? Do they get obscenely hot?

They do get hot. I would suggest a kitchen towel or a pot holder when first getting them out. Also, the big plates are too big for your average microwave. So that might factor into your purchase as well. They are nice though. I have used them for over a year and I don't even have a chipped one yet. (With 2 kids that also use them regularly, that is an amazing feat.)

They do get hot, but no different than porcelain bakeware I stick in there. I just use a dish towel or pot holder to take things out and let them sit for a minute. They are doing well in the dishwasher and I haven't chipped them yet.

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.

These are much better. I've had them in quite hot microwaves with no melting. (No doubt the venting helps too!) I think you'll find that they'll do the job for you just fine.

NO. These plates will endure some microwave exposure, but eventually they will split in half, or even more pieces. I'm actually looking for replacements right now after 50% of them have split.

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.

I have not microwaved them, and I do not believe they are safe for the microwave. They are very nice bowls, though!

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!

They are dishwasher safe. The one thing I've noticed about using them in the microwave is they tend to absorb all the heat instead of heating up the food. So the plate is hot but the food isn't.

I've never microwaved them but I have washed them in the dishwasher with heated dry on. Bought two sets and they have lasted and haven't faded, Cracked or have teeth marks and my lil girl loves to bite Down on them. Honestly a awesome buy!

No more so than any other plate. I heat up leftovers in the microwave on these plates and bowls often and I have never noticed that they became overly hot. I don't use them for boiling liquids so cannot answer for food at that temperature.

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 no longer own them, but as I recall they are microwave-safe. I used them to reheat food and occasionally even as a cover for other plates I would microwave.

I have put the plates in the microwave for 30-60 seconds to warm up food. Worked good. Not sure about long periods of time. Durable dishes.

Yes! I own a set of 12 of these plates and bowls. I called the company before buying and they said "microwave safe." We've never had a problem with any of our dishes in the microwave.

I microwave with them occasionally. I can't recall what the original packaging said about microwaving. I accidently turned on the wrong burner on the stove last night, and the plate was partially on the burner for around 5 minutes. Heat setting was "5" out of "10". The plate was fine.

I've put them in the dishwasher and they haven't warped or melted, but I haven't put them in the microwave. I have mixed hot foods in them and it has not been a problem. They seem sturdy and durable enough to tolerate a fair amount of heat. Nothing too extreme. I would trust them in the microwave.
