Do they get hot to the touch in the microwave like glass does?

I don't think it gets as hot as glass in the microwave, but it does get warm/hot where the food touches the CorningWare. I can usually take the cups out by the handle. If I were to put it in the oven I would expect the whole thing to be to hot to handle without an oven mitt.

Yes, they can get hot depending on how hot you are heating something up. The mugs have the benefit of the handle which stays cooler.

I have use both the handled mug and bowl in microwave. When using the bowl for oatmeal, I have removed it from the microwave without burning my hands, as the bowl does not get overheated. Of course, I'm not leaving it in the microwave for any extended periods of time. I always use the handle when using the mug, but I haven't experienced any overheating or burning of the hands with it either.

Yeah, probably not as hot as quickly as glass, but yes. One nice thing is the bigger containers have handles, which tend to stay cooler longer and you can often pick them up by the handle without a potholder or anything. Everything gets hot to some degree in the microwave.

Yes, they work perfectly in the microwave. They never come out hot to the touch (we've only microwaved them for 2minutes at most). We use them every day. Great glass!

I want to say 'yes' as they are not lightweight but quite 'heavy.' They are very sturdy and I have used microwave to reheat coffee in them with no issues...glass stays cool. Hope that helps!

Yes, we put ours in the microwave quite often. Being glass, and insulated, it stays cool to touch on the outside.

Yes they do if you have them in the microwave for more than 1 minute. I no longer place any of them in the microwave because I do not want them to fracture from the heating.

These are stainless and no metal should be microwaved so I wouldn't think it would be safe. I always microwave in glass.

I have never put them in the microwave. If I want the coffee hotter I just run hot water in the cup first. Yes, they are fragile but I love them and just order more if I break one.

Yes, they do get hot, but maybe it is because I have a gas range. We do have to use pot holders.

They certainly get warm like any cookware, but they don't get as hot as the rest of the pot. My mom's stainless steel cookware doesn't have the insulated handles like the Calphalon Simply line and her handles get too hot to comfortably handle. These do not.

I have never put them in the oven. They get hot in microwave but no hotter than any other plate. they are a nice heavy plate. I have a 12 place setting. Very nice set.

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 am not sure but they would get very hot and I wouldn't chance it. Maybe go directly to their website for confirmation? They do heat up in the microwave.

Melissa, yes these dishes do get really hot. Absolutely beautiful dishes though. I love mine.

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.

The instructions say to not use the glass for cooking in the oven. They are safe for the microwave, though.

They don't get that hot. not at all. You can hold them in ur hand and be fine

They don't get hot in microwave. Only complaint that I have, which is personal preference, is that plates are thick(I like thin but didn't realize until using these). However, they've been durable and for the cost are a home run.
