I don't know because I don't own them. I have Mikasa English Countryside and they don't get hot

No more so than any other plate. I heat up leftovers in the microwave on these plates and bowls often and I have never noticed that they became overly hot. I don't use them for boiling liquids so cannot answer for food at that temperature.

i rarely microwave food, but I did tonight and the plate didn't seem overly hot. I did run an experiment, though, with a cup of water. The cup got pretty hot, but the handle was just warm. The water was in the microwave for 2 minutes and very hot and steamy. I usually just run it for 1:30 minutes. The cup would have been too hot on the lips. with this experiment. I hope this helps.

Yes, but only if the item being microwaved is cooked for more than 5 to 6 minutes at full power. Usually it cools down to room temperature within less than a minute after it comes out of the microwave even though pthe food stays hot. The only breakage I have had was a salad/ bread plate that I took directly from the refrigerator to the microwave for one minute. It split into two even halves. Probably not a good idea, but I have repeated it many times since with no problem, so I feel that one plate must have been defective.

I have only used them for brief heating of leftovers. They didn't get especially hot but they weren't in for very long, just a couple of minutes.

They do not get hot in the microwave at all. They can go into a regular oven or microwave oven.

Yes, but they cool down comparatively fast to the food - of course, the longer in the microwave, the longer the cool down process.

No< mine have not gotten overly hot. That is something I tried to check on before purchase. A cup is much smaller and more enclosed so it would be hotter. Plus at 3 minutes water boils so I think I toasty cup at 2 minutes is to be expected. We have put water in the microwave in a measuring cup for 2:45 minutes and then added it to the antique white cut and it was fine.

I dont think the actual plate gets hot, but if you hold it right under the food it will be warm/hot to touch. I really like my set. They are beautiful and modern and I wash them in the dishwasher all the time.

I use mine in the microwave all of the time and they have been okay. I haven't had any problem with them.

These plates can be used in the microwave. They do get hot, especially in the areas where the food is lying; but, I have not been burned by them. They will actually be just slightly warm in all areas around the food.

Nope :-/ they melt after like 10 seconds - they'll actually even start to melt if you put food in them that's too hot

Happy to answer your questions, Steve. I use them in the freezer all the time but don't drop them! They'll break pretty easily if frozen (especially when filled up with frozen goodies). You didn't ask but I'll offer that I'm very careful when heating something up with these in the microwave. Defrosting, yes; warming, sure; getting something pretty darn hot? I've done it successfully and nothing's melted yet, but I'm cautious.

I have microwaved in them, not seeing anything saying not too. They would be perfect for those, they are a little smaller than the usual mugs of this type, making it a more reasonable serving.

I have not microwaved them, and I do not believe they are safe for the microwave. They are very nice bowls, though!

They do get hot, but no different than porcelain bakeware I stick in there. I just use a dish towel or pot holder to take things out and let them sit for a minute. They are doing well in the dishwasher and I haven't chipped them yet.

I really think they don't get much hotter than my other dishes. They are heavy and so beautiful and we enjoy them, I maybe crazy but I think the food tastes better,their beautiful. We want to purchase another set. Enjoy them!!!!

The bowls do not get hot in the microwave, not anymore than any other dish. I love them.

I have not heated coffee in the cups but I have reheated using the plates and they do not get hot. I think the cups may as they are thinner than a coffee mug.

Yes they do if you have them in the microwave for more than 1 minute. I no longer place any of them in the microwave because I do not want them to fracture from the heating.

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

They don't get hot! There is a very small uncovered metal piece near the actual pan that gets a little warm, but is not in the place you would pick it up! Hope that helps!
