Is this microwave safe? I have a microwave hard boiled egg maker.

No I would not use it in the microwave. It works great in a pot of boiling water. it changes color when it is done. simple to use and can last a long time in the water. Microwaves get too hot and will probably mess it up.

Both Amazon and other retailers of this product indicate that it is dishwasher and microwave safe. There doesn't seem to be any indication that it is oven safe so it is probably a good not to try that mode of cooking. Dan

Yes. I've made hot chocolate in it before using the microwave. It is not dishwasher safe. My boyfriend's mom forgot, and now it's ruined. The color changing label melted and distorted.

I have not used it in the microwave myself, but I have read that it is microwave safe EXCEPT for the inner translucent lid. Hope this helps!

I try to avoid putting plastics in the microwave. I wouldn't use this to heat anything up. It is great for sandwiches and salads and hard boiled eggs.

No.I microwave them in a separate egg microwave container. I use the egg cups to serve the soft boiled eggs.

Hello Susan... I was just eating an egg made from the unit in question for lunch; it was a perfect hardboiled egg. The user needs to be careful right after the unit has shut off. The temperatures exceed 200 degrees and can scald one if not careful. If you let the appliance stand for a while after finishing the temperatures becomes very manageable. The handle on the unit which holds the eggs is small. My suggestion to you, when using this appliance by an elderly person, is to place a bowl of cold water right next to the unit so that when the eggs are finished the rack can be lifted and placed in the water. This will allow the eggs to cool quickly and be easier to remove the shells. And secondly, allow for the bowl to be used to move the eggs around easily alleviating the need to worry about the small handles on the rack. The heating element base area tends to discolor due to minerals in the water. I pour very hot water in the unit and let it stand for a short time when cleaning it. I then pour out the water and scour the deposits with an abrasive sponge. The stain comes off very easily this way. I just thought I'd pass along this little tidbit of information. Also, when punching a hole in the egg to let out excessive steam so they do not explode do this to the larger side of the egg. Instructions call for the smaller side, but the other side works better. Lastly, add two lines more water to the unit (to what the instructions call for) for 7 hard boiled eggs.The system seems to need a little extra time steaming for perfect eggs... and they do come out perfect. I hope I have been helpful to you.

Hi, I'm pretty sure it's made of metal, so you would not want to use it in a microwave. I use it for an extra shelf in my RV cabinets.

I don't think so. I have never put it in the microwave. I would check with the company.

I have no idea if it is microwave safe. I haven't tried. I have put it in the dishwaser, however, and it held up fine. This box worked really well for me when I worked 10 hour days and had to pack a lot of food/snacks ;)

You know, I've never used this in the microwave--Sorry. Since you asked, I'll have to try and see if it is. Most of the cooking I do is in the conventional oven.

I microwave the egg for 5 min. After cooling down, mine turns blue. Could be the sensor on the holder is bad. By the way, I dropped one of my egg and shattered it - millions and millions of small beads scattered all over the room (don't drop it)

I wouldn't think so. Haven't tried putting in microwave. I use it when using fagor pot but not cooking under pressure.

No, it's enameled over cast iron and would cause your microwave to arc and possibly be ruined, as far as I know.

Microwave - if you boiled it, it would be like boiling a towel then putting it on you - not safe & a total wet mess. This was not how the product was intended to be heated. Microwave only.

Yes, It's microwave safe. I have a 2100 watt commercial microwave that I routinely do just what you mention; heat the water then add the grounds, (and cinnamon). Just be sure you mix it up with a spoon before you put the lid on. I use the words on the side of the glass as a gauge to determine how much water to add. Enjoy!

This poacher sits in boiling water on the stove...I'm not sure about using it in the microwave. Cuisinart has a great hard boiled egg maker...I have one and it's awesome, quick and easy!
