Are the bowls microwave safe??? Can I put hot soup in them??

Yes, we use the bowls in the microwave and heat soup with them often. If I remember correctly they are also safe to 350 degrees in the oven.

These bowls are meant to be used for salads and soup. They are not Pyrex. A little light microwaving, OK. Boiling, no I don't think so. Find some Pyrex bowls for that.

If you heat something too long/too hot it would affect the temperature of the bowl, but if you are careful to remove it mostly by touching the lip of the bowl, you should be okay. They are a thinner microwave plastic than I prefer.

No. They're not dishwasher safe either. I did not put them in the dishwasher or the microwave and yet three of my bowls cracked within two weeks of having them. They are very flimsy and not good quality. They were returned but for some reason I was charged a return fee! So I did not all my money back. DO NOT BUY.

No they are not microwave safe. They will melt after 20 seconds. Recommend pouring out of container into a mw sage bowl

Yes they are microwave safe. I've used them a number of times there and they stay fairly cool to the touch unless you nuke the food for over six minutes. This was my second set of this style and have had the first set over ten years.

Yes they are microwave safe. Don't try to cook in them but fine for quick heating.

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.

The manufacturer markets them as "storage bowls". There is no claim that they are oven safe. I have personally used them successfully in the microwave but not the oven.

They are microwave safe. My wife and I cook instant oatmeal in them every morning in the microwave. 90 seconds on high with no problems. We've also reheated leftovers in the microwave in these bowls without any incident. Hope this helps. They're great bowls!

No, they are not. The bottom of the bowl says not to put them in the microwave. But I do like them as mixing bowls -- and they are slip-resistant.

I have never used them in the microwave. Sorry I can't answer your question. I can tell you that I love the bowls, though!!!

I have used them in the microwave with no problem. The box says dishwasher safe but doesn't speak to microwave-safeness. They're made of pretty sturdy glass- not delicate. I love these bowls - glad I bought two sets!

They are very sturdy. I use them for soups all the time. I wouldn't recommend using them in a microwave though.

Only if you want just two or three spoonfuls of soup. I wouldn't put hot soup in them, but warm would be ok I think.

Yes they are microwave safe and you can pour boiling hot water into them for tea, also dishwasher safe

OXO's website clearly states that they are "microwavable." http://www.oxo.com/p-1004-small-large-bowl-set.aspx
