Are the bowls too hot to touch when removing from the microwave? Do you need potholders to move them?

Unfortunately I have not found any dishware that doesn't get hot in the microwave

As long as you are not "cooking" in them which is not recommended and just heating food to a reasonable temperature, they seem to be fine.

I find that they don't get as hot as other bowls, but can get hot if you heat something too long. I lift it by the lip and place them on a potholder, just to be sure.I use the ever day and love them.

If you heat something too long/too hot it would affect the temperature of the bowl, but if you are careful to remove it mostly by touching the lip of the bowl, you should be okay. They are a thinner microwave plastic than I prefer.

I do not lmicrowave that length of time on my plates or with my bowls; but I have for 2-3 minutes and as with all items, When removing from microwave I use caution, as they can be warm/hot to touch. I do not use my microwave to cook food on my plates or in my bowls, I use it to reheat food.

The reason I bought these bowls was because the lightweight ones I had heated up to the point they were hard to handle when putting in Microwave for a minute or so. These bowls are the answer to me. While they heat up also, but not to the extent as my bowls that came in a dish set; I am much more comfortable with these. I live alone and cook for myself. I use a bowl to scramble 2 eggs in it without having the contents fly all over the place, they are that large. I use the bowls to place enough left over hot dish in them to feed myself. They are definitely a good upgrade, I am totally satisfied with the purchase.

I've used these bowls in the microwave for short durations to warm up a served portion. I believe their company website says these bowls are microwave safe but not use it foods with a lot of oil which may leave a stain.

The handles can become hot. If just heating up something they are fine. But if something takes a while to cook I do need to use a pot holder

I don't microwave these on a regular basis but have had no issues when I do. I love these bowls.

I have used the bowls in the microwave and they do get hot. I hold the bowl with a dish cloth while I'm eating from it. There has been no damage to them. They are microwave safe. I love those dishes.

I have not found that they are hot to touch, however, if I do anything in the microwave for more than 3 minutes, I usually adjust my power setting to 70% or less. Foods generally come out better if you nuke them for more time at less power.

Yeah, probably not as hot as quickly as glass, but yes. One nice thing is the bigger containers have handles, which tend to stay cooler longer and you can often pick them up by the handle without a potholder or anything. Everything gets hot to some degree in the microwave.

They are dishwasher and microwave safe. They do get very hot in the microwave for 5 minutes, but I wouldn't push it past those minutes. But, yes I love these bowls.

It all depends on how long you have the oven running. Somethings are microwaved and the handle stays cool. Others require the use of a pot-holder to remove the bowl using the handle.

The bowls dissipate heat very well but you still need to use a pot holder. They are of a thinner variety/bowl

While I have never tried to put the bowls in the microwave, I believe they can. They are, however, dishwasher safe.

Because it is not clearly marked, I wouldn't assume that they are microwave safe. My Pyrex bowls are all marked safe for microwave, for example. They are rather thin, so on the plus side each piece is lightweight, but not as durable as something heavier. I guess that's the trade off.

Not at all... You need pot holders after a short time over heat. But I like them because I use them in the oven and broiler.

They are not designed to withstand the "heat" of a microwave. I use glassware in the microwave.

No, they are not hot. I put them in the microwave often and never have a problem.
