Are these bowls melamine? (I'm so tired of melamine mixing bowls cracking on me! lol)

I checked to see if I still had the box they came in but I don't. I can say with almost 100% certainty that they are NOT melamine as they have some "give". I do have one very old melamine bowl and it feels nothing like the OXO mixing bowls. The OXO mixing bowls are GREAT!!! Do not, however, put them in the microwave (so says the warning on the bottom of the bowls).

No - these are a very durable not sure what you would call it - a rubbery plastic. I have been using them for quite some time and love them. They do not stain. My friends are even getting them. can't go wrong

They are heavy plastic, about the weight of the more common melamine plastic, but unlike melamine these do not heat up (other than transferred heat from the food) when microwaving. On the other hand, they're just plain off-white in color. I am very pleased. PS: other reviews have mentioned them picking up stains ... I have not experienced any such problem.

I think they're like storage bowls. They may be okay to microwave a few times, but then they start to warp and melt. I absolutely wouldn't microwave the top pieces at all.

To the best of my knowledge, these are not borosilicate glass. They are tempered glass, highly durable. I've used these Duralex bowls (and glass tumblers) for 30 years without a single break or chip.

I have been looking at these same bowls and found the description on amazon lacking. I found info about these on a competitor's site. The bowls are 18/10 stainless and are dishwasher-safe. The plastic lids are BPA-free and are safe on the top shelf of the dishwasher. Hope that helps you out.

Yes! That is why I bought them. They are great plastic mixing bowls and can be used in the microwave-- a rare combination. I use them in our RV.

We have put the bowls in the dishwisher( top shelf) and microwave. They are holding up well. I belief that they are not recommend to go into the dishwasher.They are very beautiful.

Yes these are high density Pyrex Bowls. I would however NOT recommend going from a hot oven to cold water as these will crack/break.

Hi Gwen, I bought the bowls, not the mugs. I can tell you the quality of the bowls is exceptional. I love them.

They are dishwasher and microwave safe. They do get very hot in the microwave for 5 minutes, but I wouldn't push it past those minutes. But, yes I love these bowls.

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.

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.

They look like white porcelain. Though I doubt they are. Probably some kind of pottery.They are nice and they go through the dishwasher with no problem. I was surprised how nice they are.

wait, i do not know that for a fact. i thought they were both dishwasher and microwavable but nothing is stated on the bowls. When I look at the bowls on line they say dishwasher safe and BPA. Thus I am not sure about nuking them'

My first one came with a broken bowl too. Second time, no bowls were broken but the same bowl arrived with crazing and broke later. I hate these bowls. Am going to get some vintage Pyrex cinderella mixing bowls from ebay and put what's left of these pieces of crap out on the curb. My mom's Cinderella bowls have lasted over 50 years and through all my childhood baking. These didn't make it a year.
