Does anyone know how many microwave uses you can get out of each bowl before they start falling apart? [before you have to throw them out]

Dear "The Old Lady" Hopefully I can Help.I am old too. Have used cheaper brands and have not had thesefor very long. Remember always loosen lids or use damp paper towels on top And do not over heat.They should last for quite awhile. If bubbled or hard to clean, start a new one, for safety safe.

I have microwaved the bowls only 3 times with no problems. The lids started to warp the first time.

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.

Yes, I've used them in the microwave multiple times. However, I would recommend keeping an eye on them just in case, and don't put them in for a really long time. A minute to two minutes or so is fine.

I don't know if they are sold separately anywhere, but I haven't seen any offered on Amazon. They should never be used in the microwave (cover with plastic wrap of paper towel). You can still use the bowls for cereal, fruit, etc. even though the lids have melted and can no longer be used.

I've had mine in the fridge for like 2 months already, I don't use them often. They get hard, sure, but after you microwave them they're as soft as a cloud again.

Not sure, but I think they'd be okay in the dishwasher but not in the microwave. They are just plastic plates and might melt. There are so many in the package that I never needed to wash and re-use any of them. I have put similar items in the dishwasher and they came out okay (as long as not on super hot cycle). I never put one in the microwave, but other similar plastic things have warped or melted. Might be okay for 30 seconds.

I checked and the bowls are not microwave safe! Hope this info helps...they are great for washing fresh fruits and veggies.

I've used them in the microwave without any trouble. But I haven't tried them in the microwave for more than a minute or two. I can't imagine they aren't microwave safe.

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.

Honestly, I don't know. I am in the habit of never microwaving plastic, so I haven't done so with mine. I do love the bowls however!

I do not lmicrowave that length of time on my plates or with my bowls; but I have for 2-3 minutes and as with all items, When removing from microwave I use caution, as they can be warm/hot to touch. I do not use my microwave to cook food on my plates or in my bowls, I use it to reheat food.

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

I own the small plates, large, and small bowls and have put the plates and small bowls in microwave without a problem. Haven't had the occasion to put the large bowls in the microwave yet.

I haven't used mine in the Microwave since it says on the bottom of the bowl not to. I don't always follow instructions, but I sure don't want to mess these nice bowls up!!

I don't microwave these on a regular basis but have had no issues when I do. I love these bowls.

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'

These bowls are NOT microwavable safe. We microwaved things in them and the bottom became warped. almost melted. The bowls are still useable, but I will not microwave them again.
