Do these bowls scratch when using an electric mixer? Glad to know they can be used in the microwave.

They do not scratch with a mixer. The interiors are a very smooth white plastic that is shiny.

So far I've only used the small one with an egg-beater, not a mixer. It still looks nice and shiny.

I haven't ever had this issue with mine. Are you sure they're coming from the bowls? Do you use them in a mixer?

Yes I think that would be fine. You may get scratches on the inside from your beaters, but you should be fine. I tend to use mine with a wooden spoon as I already have a bowl that attaches to my mixer. I think it would be ok.

Yes they are. I use them a lot. Microwave, dishwasher - they are holding up very well. Not as nice as some more expensive bowls (in terms of the look) but practical.

No. They're mixing bowls. Quasi decent weight, but scratch up immediately upon use. I wouldn't think heat would be a good idea.

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've never put mine in the microwave so I'm not sure. I will look on the bottom of the bowls to see if it is noted there. If there's no notation on the bottom, I'll do a quick zap in the microwave and see what happens. Will respond with results sometime this coming weekend as these bowls are at a vacation home and we'll be there this weekend.

I have used mine in my, I think atomically powered microwave, without any adverse effects to the bowl.

No, these bowls are not microwavable. You also cannot put them in the oven. They are dishwasher safe. I use them strictly as mixing bowls, and they perform wonderfully. They're very deep so that there's no splashing or bursting of flour out of the bowls. Love 'em.

I have not put these in a microwave. I see one reviewer has and still likes the bowls. I would contact OXO to make sure since we don't know the exact conditions that these bowls were microwaved under (light power, less than 5 minutes etc.)

I've run them through the dishwasher several times with no ill effects. I haven't used them in the microwave, but since the packaging said not to, I figured the coating might come off if I did.

Yes, I have put mine in the microwave. I just love these bowls. Use them for my yogurt every morning and give the kids macaroni and rice in them. Perfect single serving size.

I bought a dozen of these little bowls and I really enjoy using them. I haven't needed to microwave anything in them but I don't know why you couldn't use them in the microwave because they're glass.

Yes, I put them in the microwave all the time. They are the best bowls ever. They are a great size for cereal, soup, whatever. Classic kitchen staple! GET THEM!

That I could not tell you. I know you are not suppose to use them in the microwave so I haven't and I have not had any trouble with mind. I also don't have a dishwasher so my set looks like new and I have had them for over a year.. Maybe if you could write the maker them might be able to answer that question but I would be hesitant to use them myself.

My husband ordered these bowls and we have thoroughly enjoyed their use. We aren't sure about whether they are rated for microwave use, but we personally would not use them in the microwave. There are small rubberized areas (handle and bottom of bowls) which, for us, would exclude this option.
