Do these dishes get to hot to touch safely after microwaving?

I've never had an issue. Unless you're microwaving for a long time (4 minutes or more), I wouldn't expect any problems.

Melissa, yes these dishes do get really hot. Absolutely beautiful dishes though. I love mine.

We have not had any problems using them in the microwave so far, but watch out for superheating. They're pretty smooth, so it may look like water isn't boiling in them, and then the moment you put something in the water, explosive boiling.

They don't get hot in microwave. Only complaint that I have, which is personal preference, is that plates are thick(I like thin but didn't realize until using these). However, they've been durable and for the cost are a home run.

I have used them in the microwave with no problems. I have not put them in the oven.

I haven't put them in the microwave. It is made of ceramic. The bowls are small. I use it for cold food . The box does not say microwave safe

Even though these products say dishwasher safe, I wouldn't recommend it. They are very fragile and chip easily in the dishwasher. These dishes would last longer if hand washed. As the other commenter stated, they do end up very hot in the microwave, but are otherwise fine. It is a very lovely dish set if handled with care.

Yes they are microwave safe. I've used them a number of times there and they stay fairly cool to the touch unless you nuke the food for over six minutes. This was my second set of this style and have had the first set over ten years.

Never used in the oven. No problem with microwave. Have done bacon on them. All dishes get hot in microwave.

Sorry, dont know as I have never put them in a microwave. I doubt it tho, as I am pretty sure the whole crock would get hot.

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.

I am not an expert at all. However, I have used the bowls in the microwave occasionally to reheat food on less than full power. The porcelain is probably safe, but the glaze gets quite hot.

Yes. The bowls appear to be microwave safe. However, after heating water for one minute in the bowl, you need a hot pad to remove it from the microwave. Knowing this, I would still buy this set. I think because the bowls are delicately designed is why they retain the heat. However, they are very durable.

I think they are not. I could not find the answer so I put the smaller one in the microwave and now it is discolored. I would recommend not microwaving them.

They are not microwavable safe according to the packaging, but I know my husband has inadvertently heated food up once or twice for 20-30 seconds, so I know they don't melt instantly! They are dishwasher safe, though the manufacturer recommends doing so no more than 10 times. I have not seen any degradation, however, after having put them in the dishwasher about two dozen times over the last two years. I do make sure to hand wash most often, though.

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.

We've heated plates to warm but not hotter. If you do microwave cups they tend to get very hot

Yes! After 6 months of daily use, we've had no problems with microwaving any of the Gordon Ramsay Doulton items.
