Also microwave?? My English father would be rolling his eyes at you! Make like your Downton Abbey and put the kettle on. Smiles

Margaret, did not know you could microwave them. I have always washed them by hand. Nice to know.

I have not put it in the dishwasher because of its bulk. The normally gooey stuff in the small bowls make them just as easy to hand wash. Sorry.

Absolutely they are microwave and dishwasher safe. I don't have Nordic ware (except for cake pans, LOL) so I can't compare, but I believe these are such a great deal that I've purchased 4 of them. And, as someone else also mentioned, they are SUPER easy to clean, even if you let something dry in them overnight... :)

It is not recommended. They are so easy to hand wash, I don't mind. I quests the ceramic could get scratched in the dishwasher. I love them.

A soft soapy sponge to hand wash. It's metal so I don't use it in the microwave.The description of it also says the outside is "hand washable" so I don't use thedishwasher. Cheers.

The dishes I ordered are glass, they should be dishwasher & microwave safe, but I have not used them in the microwave.

Send question to the website and see if they have a good answer. My guess is one color is preferred over another and they are selling it for less or could sell it for more depending on demand. I guess they can do whatever. I sure don't think it has anything to do with the microwave itself but the popularity of the color.j

No. It should be treated the same as any microwave-safe plastic container. It is very easy to hand wash. I have 2 and use them for a variety of foods, especially Chinese cuisine where I have several dishes like spring/egg rolls, fried rice and a stir fry entrée. Well worth the price.

Hi Just Wondering, The only answer I have for you at this point is that the box says "dishwasher and microwave safe". I do not know if they are a grade for High Heat dishwashers. You might be able to find some info by contacting the producers of the Rachel Ray mugs. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Cheers, Dave

The bottom says that it is dishwasher safe but not recommended for the microwave.

Yes, dishwasher and microwave safe (I just checked the box to be sure). These are my all-time favorite tea cups, as they brew a large cup of tea with minimal fuss and mess. I have 3 of them because my friends and I all love to use this tea cup when they come over !

I have done both. It's better to wash them by hand, but on occasion I'll put them in the dishwasher. I haven't noticed any damage to them so far and I've had my set for 3 years.

They are both dishwasher and microwave safe, as far as I know. That is how I use them. There is nothing marked anywhere saying they are or are not safe for modern use. But I do have to say that I am in love with them and use them all the time.

I got mine from a different seller but I would not wash in the dishwasher, do not microwave. Only wash with warm water, a soft wash cloth and dish soap. Otherwise it will get thrashed. I just got mine and although it's stamped with a Canon logo, and the macro switches are stamped to look real with great detail, it does not look like those logo's are going to last permenantly. Hope this helps.

I've never microwaved them but I have washed them in the dishwasher with heated dry on. Bought two sets and they have lasted and haven't faded, Cracked or have teeth marks and my lil girl loves to bite Down on them. Honestly a awesome buy!
