can this bowl fit into a microwave? I want to cook oatmeal in it and make sure it's deep enough not to overflow like oatmeal tends to do!

Yes, it will fit easily into mine- a big old Emerson 1000 watt (about 4 years old) with a 13 inch door opening, and a 12 inch turntable (bowl measures 11 3/4 inches outside rim to rim). However, be aware this bowl is rather shallow for a mixing bowl. It measures 10 1/2inches inside top, and quickly tapers to 4 1/2 at inside bottom. I love the bowl,but do not use for mixing except for heavy-bodied solutions with a hand mixer, to keep beaters from throwing stuff all over the kitchen! (bowl is about 4 1/2 inches high) Good luck!

Fits nicely in the microwave....whether the oatmeal overflows or not would depend on the amount of oatmeal you're cooking

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.

I have a 13 x 9 Pyrex dish with lip handles. It does not fit in the microwave. I have had problems with larger dishes sitting on a revolving microwave plate. It breaks the turning wheel. The dish that you are heating stops when it hits the sides of the microwave.

Definitely not. I just put one in the microwave for 2 minutes on High to make oatmeal. Had been doing this all week. Heard a loud pop, stopped the microwave, and the entire bowl had shattered leaving tiny shards of glass everywhere. I took photos and am writing to the company.

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.

I have used mine in my, I think atomically powered microwave, without any adverse effects to the bowl.

I'm sorry, we use this as a weighted water bowl for our cats... cause they are knock-it-over types. I haven't tried it in the microwave. It feels as if it would be both Microwave and Dishwasher safe. It is that kind of hard plastic. Hope that helps.

No. On the bottom of the bowl it says do not use in the microwave. Sorry it looks like you should be able to. :(

It's awesome for soup and leftovers, just not oatmeal (unless it's instant- which I don't eat) Here's info http://sistemaplastics.com/products/microwave/Breakfast-Bowl Plastic but not normal cheap plastic. Won't stain or melt. We love for soup.

I gave it to my mother as a gift when she was living at my sister's house. Yes, it fits in the microwave. I don't have the size. Amazon probably lists it in the description.

Not very well. There is a gaping hole either in the front or the back. Does not completely fit that size bowl.

Yes, I put them in the microwave all the time. They are the best bowls ever. They are a great size for cereal, soup, whatever. Classic kitchen staple! GET THEM!

You wouldn't recommend to put this in a microwave. It doesn't have a timer that makes it spin so you might as well just reach in the microwave and turn the food after part way done. Also it has metal ball bearings so it can spin.

Description of this bowl does not indicate "microwave safe". I would not consider putting this bowl in the microwave.

I don't know. Seems if you could find a bowl with the right diameter it should fit. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

They are microwave safe. My wife and I cook instant oatmeal in them every morning in the microwave. 90 seconds on high with no problems. We've also reheated leftovers in the microwave in these bowls without any incident. Hope this helps. They're great bowls!

I haven't bought or used this particular container. However, I have cooked oatmeal in the microwave many many times. I have had it overflow in different containers, but stay in the bowl in the same container another time. I haven't tried lowering the power although that might help. The issues that seem to cause overflow are how full the container is, how long it is cooked without being stirred or the door opened to stop the rise of the oatmeal. I have used both old fashioned and quick cooking oats. Both have overflowed. The container needs to be big enough to hold the oatmeal and have room for the oats to rise.
