What do you know about the sparking of the microwave when these trays are used. any damage to the microwave?

There was no "sparking" when I used it. These are silicone, so there shouldn't be anything in the microwave that will spark.

I know nothing of that. The tray is completely rubber, there is no metal on it whatsoever, so I do not think it would spark in the microwave.

I had sparking in the microwave the first time I used the tray. I think the chips were to thin. The tray melted a bit. Nothing happened to the microwave.

I have not experienced this myself with my trays. Must be something else other than the chip tray itself. Maybe you have It sitting on a metal plate or something?

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.

I've never had them come out of the microwave damaged, but I can confirm they break and chip very very easily.

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 don't know the official answer, but I've used them in the microwave with no issues.

I have these. Nothing is written on anything. I would err on the side of caution and Not microwave.

We have never used them in a microwave. We use them to grind herbs and nothing else.

Yes, I have microwaved in mine many times. I am very happy with mine. They make a pretty presentation when having company

Sorry ... I have not used them in the microwave. I do not like to put plastic in the microwave - gets too hot.

No, not in the year we've owned ours. We put food in them, freeze them (lids on), then put them straight in the microwave (lids off). We are not particularly gentle with them. However, as a glass artist, I'm going to tell you a secret: ANY glass CAN explode. It is an inherent danger of all glass. You get a particular kind of bubble when making it, or a scratch/chip from hard use, and then even a minor temperature differential can cause the glass to shatter. Manufactured glass almost never gets those bubbles. Most likely, that reviewer or her MIL (or someone at the store) had dropped the container and it had chipped or cracked, possibly without them noticing. This can happen to any glass, as I said. But it is rare. Look at all the glass in your kitchen, and in your friends' kitchens, and ask yourself how many times something has exploded, and that should give you an idea. Having a glass item explode, while very scary, is not as dangerous as it sounds. Other than fairly minor scratches/puncture wounds, the only real danger is your eyes. I wear goggles in the shop, and I've had several things explode. Outside the shop, though, I don't risk my eyes. And you shouldn't, either. For safety, you should always very carefully check any glass item after dropping it and, if it is chipped or cracked, even if it's very minor, toss it in the recycling bin. I know most people don't do this, and I know many times it doesn't explode even then. But there is that one time, when the crack or chip is in the right place, and the temperature differential is in the right place, where it will. Is it worth the risk to your eyes?

I`m sorry but I have never had that problem. I use my products nearly every day.I think they are fantastic. Are you perhaps over cooking in them, we sometimes can`t believe how quick they do work.If you have a high temp. microwave.

I have not used them in the microwave yet. I would think taking it off would be ideal but really don't know.

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.

Don't know about BPA? I didn't try to microwave them. After the one bubbled up in 2 places, I now hand wash the remaining.

Yep. They will get hot after a while (like most plates), but I use them in the microwave all the time.

I've microwaved in them plenty of times, just remember the containers are rated to 100ºC (that's 212ºF!) so be sure not to heat it too much. The plastic is safe, but the container won't be much use if it melts.

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.
