If using it in the microwave, what type of dish or bowl would you use?

Personally, I would use a ceramic or glass bowl that can accommodate your steamer. As long as you can get the steamer in it plus the water.http://www.amazon.com/Pyrex-Prepware-3-Piece-Mixing-Clear

Use it with a microwave safe dish or bowl. Better yet, buy a 100% silicon veggie steamer unit complete with a bowl, strainer basket, and a cover. I bought one for about $12.

I would ideally use a glass or ceramic. But worst case in sure a microwave safe plastic would be fine.

On the box it says you can use in microwave, but personally I would not want to. I don't like to use the plate I'm eating from to heat my food. It's just a personal preference However amazon does have a microwave cook wear and storage set that matches

Bowls are microwaveable. The glass is tempered and is substantial in feel as all tempered glass is.

Yes, I have put mine in the microwave. I just love these bowls. Use them for my yogurt every morning and give the kids macaroni and rice in them. Perfect single serving size.

Yes, that's how I used mine. It's definitely NOT for use in a microwave, though.

If it has lead it it. -- it is not on the label . I do nor believe that the dishes have lead . If they have lead in them they would not be microwaveable .

Do not microwave melamine. It will absorb the radiation and heat the bowl, plate, etc. and not the food. If it gets hot enough the melamine can become unstable creating bubbles or a break down.

You are able to take the glass portion out of the plastic holder so yes in theory you could use it in the microwave. I personally don't think I would be microwaving the glass portion though. You would need mitts to pull it out and then you would not be able to put it back into the plastic holder which would defeat the purpose of intended use.

I microwaved the bowl with lid for 3 minutes and it was fine. Didn't melt the lid and the bowl didn't really retain much heat. So it can be microwaved.

I put my smaller bowls in the microwave and haven't had a problem. The salad bowls are very large for individual salads though so I use them more for serving dishes. Therefore I rarely need to microwave the contents of the bowls. The bowls do conduct heat so be careful!

No. The bottom says, "Not for use in microwave..." I love these bowls except for that.

I would not attempt it. I have no need to put it in the microwave. I am happy with it's intended use.

While I believe that it is safe for the microwave, the food will stain the white surface. I always heat the food in a pan or a glass bowl and then serve it on the plate.

I use an electric mixer in this bowl all the time...............no problems doing it.

I wouldn't. However, the contents fit very neatly into a standard 12-oz Corelle (or similar) bowl even frozen, so there's no need to microwave the container.

Yes you can but I've never needed to put it in the microwave since I just use it to store it away in the freezer and pop one out every time for feeding and use small microwaveable bowl.
