does the gel packs can only be heated at the microwave?

That I know of yes. Put the packs in the head piece. Zip it up and then put it in the microwave.

Hello! I personally have not tried to microwave with them, but from what I read on Google, you can, but probably shouldn't be an everyday practice due to chemicals that are released and the "hot" plastic that results from the microwave. Here's an example of what I read from Google: There can be a very small amount of migration of the melamine-formaldehyde resin, but as you stated elsewhere, the FDA concluded that it was well below the safe use limit. However, the real reason for not microwaving melamine dishes or cookware is that it can become very hot when microwaved. Most plastics are microwave transparent and do not get hot. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and, as a result, heats. Hello!

I hadn't considered microwaving them. I would think that since there is some foil in their content, I would say it's not a good idea to microwave them. The bags are terrific, though. I use them every year for an annual cookout that I host. After putting the hotdogs in the buns and then in the bags, I put them into a huge covered steamer pan to keep the dogs warm and the buns soft. They are always a big hit.

I haven't used it for heat as of yet, but from the instructions, you heat the packs in the microwave.

I have used it for heat and it holds up very well to microwaving. Actually holds much better then the expensive "pearl" type heat packs. Usually about 1-2 minutes is long enough, depending on the strength of your microwave and how hot you want it.

I'm not really sure? It is a hot/cold pack but we only use it for cold. It does say it is microwaveable, so I would say no to the stove or oven.

I only did cold. But if you purchase packs which you can heat (probably microwave) you can insert these into pouches and use..

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.

No. It has an insert that you microwave that is similar to an ice pack but is microwavable. This is an awesome product. I would totally recommend it. It lasts for hours.

No there is not a gel pack inside. This heating pad pulls the moisture out of the air toro vide it's moist heat. We have bought over six of these heating pads through the years and feel that there is no other heating pad on the planet that compares! My husband would not be able to function without one. He keeps one in the bed and one in his recliner. The only problem is that after a while the hold in switch goes bad and you have to replace it.

no, the container is aluminum, it is designed to be heated in the wax warmer. Might explode (or at least spark) in the microwave. Best microwaveable wax (imho) is Sally Hansen Brazilian Bikini Wax, also available on Amazon.~cheers

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that. I haven't used them in the microwave. I had the WS nesting bowls too, and found that over time, microwaving was not kind to them. I doubt it was the microwave itself, but rather the very hot contents. I'd ask Oggi.

yes, you can put hot food on it. You heat the pack in the microwave and then I put it in my carrier. The hot pack and my food stayed warm (not hot) for more than 8 hrs.

No, it does not. I expect the question is linked to whether the steamers are microwave friendly. I expect that they are, though I've never used them in the microwave oven yet.....their use is primarilly for 'steaming,' which is placing the containers over a pan filled with hot water and allowing stream to rise through the meshing.

not really..... its for heating in a microwave. But you could freeze it and use it for a cold pack also.

Yes, they are microwaveable. The edges don't get hot, and I can usually remove the plates/bowls without needing oven mitts, but the bottom of the plate/bowl gets hot to the touch were the heated food sits.

Hi - I just heated up some leftover pot pie for lunch :), so I can attest that they DO get hot in the microwave. I've also heated water for tea, and it also gets hot. Still so pleased with the set, and not something that would discourage me from using them.
