Are these microwave safe?

No, the plastic shrinks when heated by the microwave. I tried it and I ruined everything. The bottle changed its shape, and I was afraid to use the content due to whatever plastic chemicals. This set is nice, but not so practical. It would be nice if silicone was used instead of cheap plastic.

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.

They are NOT indicated as "microwave safe" on the bowls. They are a Type 2 plastic, which is "high density polyethylene" (HDPE) = May be safe, although some recommend against food contact when microwaving. I personally do NOT use these in the microwave. They seem fine in the top rack of the dishwasher, but I wouldn't put them on the bottom rack.

Good question. I wouldn't use them in the microwave as I don't with any plastics. So, my vote is no.

Yes, indeed! They are microwave safe. I have had mine for nearly two years, use them in the dishwasher and the microwave - just about every day - and they are every bit as beautiful as they were the day I got them.

They are plastic. I wouldnt use any plastic in microwave for fear of emanating chemicals. This one is soft plastic, it may even melt I guess

I have not used them in the microwave, but my husband says that they are dishwasher, oven, freezer, and microwave proof. Upon checking, all sellers of silicone kitchen products claim they are microwaveable. I guess if I were to try that, I would start slowly at first and stay close to keep an eye out. But it sounds like it is safe.

I use mine in the microwave all of the time and they have been okay. I haven't had any problem with them.

Yes, the lids are microwave safe. Don't seal them in the microwave, leave the lids loose. The company says they are safe, but some people don't like to microwave with plastic. The decision is up to you.

Although I have not used them in the microwave, I believe they are safe for microwave use.

No, at least the ones I have are not microwaveable safe. Rubbermaid makes some great small containers that fit together and are microwave safe.

I don't know if they're microwave safe, but I frequently put hot food in them to serve my children. We haven't had any issues at all. These bowls and plates are extremely durable. We use them daily for our 4 and 6 year old for over a year and half and they still look brand new.
