Can silicone lids be used safely in microwave oven

According to a saleman at the Nebraska State Fair - what looks like the head of the turtle (little tab that's different than the others) can be tucked under as you seal, which then allows for steam venting, which makes them microwave safe. Didn't buy them and haven't tried it, but that's what the guy showed us.

Absolutely....they were made for this application. We have used them for years in Microwave ovens.

The lids were a gift for my mother. She seems to like them, however, did not mention using them in the microwave.

Absolutely. They go in the microwave just fine, and I've had no ill affects of using them in there. They also go through the dishwasher unharmed. They have been a great purchase for me, and have saved us a lot of cling wrap.

I would not suggest it..I think they would break down and contaminate food like plastic..and they are air tight . Most lids need to be vented in microwave...Just my opinion

I don't know the correct answer, I don't use the lids in the oven, microwave or dishwasher (don't have one), I do use them in the freezer and so far they do great. I will tell you they are the best storage containers I have ever purchased. I wanted to wean myself off of plastic and they fit the bill. Bought them for a friend as a gift and he loves them too.

I've never used them in the oven, but they are safe in the microwave, which can heat up food to a fairly high temp. The lids are definitely not safe in an oven, but, I would think that the glass could handle lower temps. To be sure I would try contacting the company.

Due to the plastic on handles and lids I would not use these in an oven; the plastic could warp or melt and cause burns or damage to your oven. There is a set available with steel handles which is supposed to be oven safe.

On the lid itself states "microwave/refrigerator/freezer use. Do not use in conventional oven. Loosen cover before microwave use."

I wish I could help you, but I don't know. I would assume that the lid is not oven safe as it is a different plastic than the bowl. I've only used the bowls in the microwave, thus have never tried them in the oven.

This is a plactic lid I have the ones with the metal lids I wouldn't use this in an oven.

Sure. They are metal and can be used in a regular oven. Probably since they are metal shouldn't be used in a microwave. They are very small. They are extremely small.

The plastic lids can be used in the microwave, but I only use the glass cover for the microwave and save the plastic lids for storage.

I have never used them in the oven. I bought them to use in the microwave and as a lid for food in the refrigerator. I think you should ask the manufacturer.

I would not put them in the oven. They are good to use in the microwave, however. Just leave the plastic lid off.

I haven't tried using this tool in a microwave, but I have used other silicone products with no issue.

Yes, the lids are microwave safe. Don't seal them in the microwave, leave the lids loose. The company says they are safe, but some people don't like to microwave with plastic. The decision is up to you.

The bowls themselves are glass. They say oven safe on them, but the lids are partly plastic. No oven or microwave. Also, these are smaller than I realized, but otherwise, I like them.

The manufacturer states that they are microwave safe when you use a vented lid....personally, I don't like to microwave in anything plastic. Hope that helps!

I would not put this lid in the oven. Even if the silicone could handle it, the plastic center would be ruined.

I use them for Creme Brulee, so the oven is fine, though I have never used them in the microwave I would guess yes.
