Do you need to microwave these or can you just add hot water?

You have to add water, but you can either add water and then microwave, or just add boiling water to them.

You arent suppose to microwave them. I would assume meats would be ok to warm up in a bowl of warm water.

They do not microwave safe or not to microwave safe.... I have used mine in the microwave and the don't melt or get overly hot. I've washed on the bottom rack of the dishwasher several times and the heat doesn't effect them at all.

I don't recall ever using hot water. I haven't bought them in awhile, so I'm not quite sure. Maybe to melt the chocolate easier???

They can be microwaved. I do use hot pads to remove them but, then I do with all microwaved dishes. I did find the dinner plate too large for my microwave.

Yes you can put them in the microwave. Only caution from me is they are NOT 18 oz mugs, they are 24 oz! They are huge!

I have not tried to do that, but they should be OK if you're not cooking for long periods. I generally avoid putting ANY plastic in a microwave for a number of reasons.

I warmed them in a pan. They cooked extremely quick. I haven't tried in a microwave. They are very thin so they do break. Inedible raw.

I have not put these in a microwave. I see one reviewer has and still likes the bowls. I would contact OXO to make sure since we don't know the exact conditions that these bowls were microwaved under (light power, less than 5 minutes etc.)

I have never tried with cold water. Although, I would think that after some time soaking in water they would be soft enough. Right out of the pack they are crunchy, you could definitely use warm water but the soaking time may be more lengthy. I do not follow the directions, I use enough for one serving and pour hot water over them, cover and let stand until they are soft (about 6 minutes). Hope this helps! Let me know how it works if you decide to try it.

I have put them in my dishwasher, but have no need to put these in my microwave. I wouldn't try the microwave. Why would you need to put them in the microwave at all.

Yes! That is the simple answer, but I really do microwave them all the time.

Dishwasher absolutely. We haven't used them in the microwave often, but I don't think there'd be any problem.

what I do is put some ina bowl withwater and microwave awhile till the water gets hot and then let them soak AND REHYDRATE. I USE THEM MOSTLY IN SOUPS FOR FLAVOR The dried shitake have more flavor than these...try making some mushroom barley soup.

I put them in the microwave quite regularly and nothing has happened to them. I like drinking warm water sometimes; so I microwave a glass of water for a minute or two. These glasses are super sturdy.

We do not use them in the microwave and wash them by hand (more just to keep them looking nice). They are a heavy plastic and I wouldn't hesitate to put hot liquid in them but probably not boiling liquid. If we need to melt butter for the recipe, we use a separate bowl and then add it. Hope that helps.

You are suppose to boil the egg (usually soft boil). Then when ready, place the eggs into the cups. I have never tried to microwave them.
