This plastic is designed to be used in a microwave. I used mine all the time with no problems.

microwave cookware is made of plastic designed for the high tempatures of cooking, for other plasticware you need to check the package or the bottom to see if it can be used in a microwave.

I'm so happy with this item ~ this is not like the thin 1970s Home Party plastic which should not be used in microwaves ~ it's heavy plastic (as close to glass as one can get without using glass). I'm NOT a scientist and I'm NOT trying to act like a smart *****, but it can be dangerous* to drive a vehicle or ride a bike or drink soda. According to some, it's dangerous to use a microwave! If you're like me, you weigh the odds and believe you're making the best possible decision.

As far as chemical leakage from microwave use, the research I did on the product all say it was safe, so I am taking that at word. As for my own personal use, I have used this bowl with cover, and many others like it for many years in the microwave without problem. If you are still unsure of the safety from the plastic cover you can further research that kind of information on the internet before making a decision. Hope this helps...............Susan

Label doesn't indicate it is. Also, there is a soft plastic/foam material (green) around the cup. I would think that's not safe for microwaves.

For Milk, it's advised never to microwave it to warm in any bottle. And further more, warming liquid with a glass container in a microwave is likely to cause a breakdown of the plastic into the liquid. I'd avoid this particular issue with a baby's food/drink

I don't think they are, but we don't microwave plastic anyways. We only use glass and then transfer the food.

The product description says that they are not microwavable. Melamine is like that; it's great on all fronts by microwave makes the plastic slowly become brittle and any oil or fat in the food you are microwaving reacts in weird ways with the bowl to stain or even blister. In our house, we never microwave plastic. Nuke it in glass, transfer to plastic.

I wouldn't use it in a microwave because I've had melamine overheat in the microwave in the past.

No, you might consider buying purex containers, is never good to ise plastic in the microwave even if they say is the type microwave save. These containers are not

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

I've never actually used it in the microwave but it's made of heavy weight hard plastic. I wouldn't hesitate to put in the microwave.

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.

It says it is ok for the microwave, but I do not put plastic in the microwave. I suspect it would warp over time like other plastics that are microwaved over and over.

Personally I never microwave any thing plastic - BPA is only one of many chemicals. You are far better off heating something up in glass/ceramic. I will only use this for cold lunches. For Hot lunches I have a stainless steel soup container from LL Bean or I use a glass/pyrex storage container.

NO! I put the top container in the microwave to heat up some pasta - on 1/2 power for 1 minute and it seared the plastic. It's still useable, but deformed a little. Don't microwave these things.

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

I have never used it in the microwave. Wouldn't think of it with the plastic top and plug in the bottom.

You absolutely can microwave the glass. I do not microwave plastic, for health concerns, if it will touch food. You can set it on top as a splatter guard, but I usually go for a glass plate, if my dish does not have a glass lid, as this one does. If you microwave a plastic lid that has a tight fit, you risk warping as well, hope this helps:)
