could i heat in microwave for keeping plates of food warm?

I would say no. They aren't supposed to be exposed to extreme temperature changes and it seems to me a microwave would heat them too quickly.

I have not used it in this way but I think it would work. I have had good results keeping plates with food on them warm.

Yes, microwave OK for 90 seconds of warming but probably not 5 minutes of defrosting or cooking. Why risk the art. For over 40 years I have used the same plates in the microwave for warming, with no evidence of bubbling, warping, or discoloration.

Yes, they are microwaveable. I have not had them ever get hot, except where the food itself heats the plate.

No, these do not get hot. We are able to remove plates/bowls/cups without the whole container taking on heat from the microwave. Areas not in direct contact with food/liquid being heated are not hot. HTH

Is it possible to re-heat food in the microwave using these plates? Or would you have to transfer the microwave heated food to the previously microwave heated InstaHot plates?

No, it cannot be used to microwave cook. The pan is metal coated with Teflon.

I'm sure it would work just fine. If the rice has microwave directions then just follow them and use this bowl. These are amazing bowls. I have one and ordered more. The outer part does not get hot at all. Now they even come with lids. My first one didn't.

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

Yes! We don't own a microwave, so we bought fiestaware to use when we reheat stuff. The dinnerware is oven safe up to 350 degrees.

I would not microwave. The metal in the bowls would destroy your microwave.

I bought a small pyrex glass bowl for leftovers that i use with this and food cooks evenly. But i also just throw in boxed frozen meals and they cook fine and use microwave safe plastic dishes, so i would guess any microwaveable plastic would work.

I own the small plates, large, and small bowls and have put the plates and small bowls in microwave without a problem. Haven't had the occasion to put the large bowls in the microwave yet.

Yes, you can. I use microwave to heat water filled bag for 6 minutes at 1000 W. I didn't experience any problem.

no, not recommended for microwave. I have just used mine for serving food and storage. I love them!
