I gave this to my daughter for my grandson and he has used it so in the microwave so I do not think there is metal

It is a clear lightweight plastic. It's not for sealing anything in, but rather to be used as a splash guard when microwaving, thus it is microwave safe. Hope that answers your concerns.

Yes...I have put mine in the microwave with no problems. I usually check it every 20 seconds or so, but no issue.

My husband never puts the pot in the microwave so I can't answer that. Seems like a normal ceramic material, nothing metallic about it, so don't know why it wouldn't be fine. The teapot gets a LOT of use, but my husband warms up his tea by putting the mug, not the pot, in the microwave. The standing joke at our house is that we will write on my husband's tombstone "your mug of tea is waiting for you in the microwave".

no the outside is plastic. the inserts are look like they are silicon but i don't know what the temp they are good for. it works great in the microwave. be very careful when you take it out the inside gets very very hot.

Tandy, I agree with A. Jenkins comment. I don't put anything rubbery or metallic in the microwave. My wife and I buy cheap paper plates without any coating and put one of them on top of plates, jars, or any vessel we put in the microwave. The plates keep food from spattering and speed up the heating process a bit by enclosing whatever is under them.

The bottom portion is completely microwave safe. Of course, you'd need to remove the center metal strainer first...

It states microwave safe on the info. I have used it in the microwave with no problems.

I never put anything plastic in a microwave. You can remove the top and cover with a paper plate or paper towel to reheat.

Label doesn't indicate it is. Also, there is a soft plastic/foam material (green) around the cup. I would think that's not safe for microwaves.

No, cannot be used in microwave. It is basically made of Teflon coated wire mesh.

There is a plastic shield covering it. I noticed a few days later. Did you take your plastic off of it. Because I have no problem now with my microwave.

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

My first impression would be a solid no. It looks like stainless steel, and your microwave would have a problem.

Yes! Microwave safe..... But do be very careful when washing... If the glass slips off your hand.... Say good bye!

I don't remember anything saying it was microwave safe. I think most are like me and not think about heating up the water bowl. But there isn't any metal or plastic. It is a sturdy product, not like porcelain or fine china. I just tested it for you. No problem. You'd just have to experiment as to the temperature you want. I did get the water warm, no sparks or cracks.

Yes, that's how I used mine. It's definitely NOT for use in a microwave, though.
