Is the bento box microwave safe?

It is advertised as such, but when I microwaved mine, the top level cracked. Amazon replaced it, and I haven't microwaved it since. No problems with the bottom layer in the microwave, though!

My daughter ripped it open and the instructions as well. It is a very hard plastic. I don't think it is. I believe it would weaken the material. It is however a great little lunch carrier. My daughter loves it so much she bought one for her best friend.

I only use it to send lunches (cold) to school with my daughters. When I send soup or pasta, I use a Thermos brand Funtainer food jar. Based on the type of plastic it doesn't strike me as microwave friendly. I am sorry I cannot give you a definitive answer.

The instructions that came with the bento box are all in Japanese, I'm sorry! When I got it I did email the seller to ask if it was dishwasher safe and they responded about a day later, I'm not sure if you can email someone if you haven't bought a product from them but it's worth a try!

It says on the package that they are microwave safe. They even market the little one as being able to be used for the microwave.

Hi. I had confirmed with Skater who makes this bento box. Yes, it is BPA free! I also want to thank the Amazon community for their questions and those who contributed to answer them. Always thankful, Paul at Comfort Loft.

Yes, it can be used in the microwave with no problem, it is definitely "microwave safe".

No. It should be treated the same as any microwave-safe plastic container. It is very easy to hand wash. I have 2 and use them for a variety of foods, especially Chinese cuisine where I have several dishes like spring/egg rolls, fried rice and a stir fry entre. Well worth the price.

I think I remember them saying not to microwave them but I do. I've never had any problems with microwaving the compartments.

No, at least the ones I have are not microwaveable safe. Rubbermaid makes some great small containers that fit together and are microwave safe.

It is not microwave safe. It has a shiny silver trim around the edge. Noritake also mentioned not to use any dish wash detergent or soap with citric.

I have one and it is great! the lid is microwave safe..when heating in it you put the lid on upside down and it sits on the bowl lightly--any leftovers you can fit the top on the bowl and store in the refrigerator..I use mine all the time..you will not see this in any store.

No - there is a wire spring inside which will prevent it from being used in the microwave.

Yes it's fine in the microwave. I haven't done that much, but had no problem when I did.

Yes, all silicone pans are microwave safe. I never thought of using it that way, but it will work fine.

The packaging & directions are in Japanese. From it's appearance, the plastic doesn't look microwave safe, and I would avoid the dishwasher because of the surface decoration.
