Why are these plastic containers Not microwave safe

I believe the bases of the containers are microwaveable, like any container without pressure relief it would be dangerous to microwave them with the closures/lids applied.

If you heat food in a plastic container you increase the risk of contaminating your food with plastic molecules. In short, don't heat foods in plastic containers if you are concerned,

No there is nothing stated on them about being microwave safe. Sorry I only use mine for cold stuff. Probably not a good idea to heat any plastics these days. It doesn't even say dishwasher safe??

No, the plastic ones are not, but dishwasher safe. Very good product. I have not tried to use the glass lids in microwave. Sorry!

Yes...I have put these in the microwave multiple times for no more than 1 min at a time and it has not done any damage to them. They don't get too hot and have not melted at all. I have heard that microwaving food in plastic is not safe because of chemicals that are released during the microwave process, but that is a seperat issue.

The plastic lids can be used in the microwave, but I only use the glass cover for the microwave and save the plastic lids for storage.

Yes, they are microwave safe. The lid also fits pretty tight so it doesn't spill when tossed around on the go.

It is plastic, so I wouldnt...(its fairly thick plastic, but no plastic is safe in a microwave)

No they are not microwave safe and they are not labeled microwave safe. In general heating plastic releases carcinogens. Microwaving with a glass pyrex measuring cup and pouring in the contents does the job well.

The container is microwave safe but don't put the lid in the micro wave oven.

Just like anything plastic use caution when heating in a microwave. I have used them in the microwave many times. Again use caution as plastic weakens when heated and could melt if in too long.

I have used these in the microwave once or twice without damage to the product, however I don't endorse any plastic in the microwave as it can release chemicals into the food. I typically heat up the food in a glass, metal, or ceramic container first, then move it over to the munchkin product.

Good question. I wouldn't use them in the microwave as I don't with any plastics. So, my vote is no.

No. It's not stated anywhere that they're microwave-safe, so I would definitely not try it.

I am not an expert but these are a special plastic blend similar to the frozen dinners containers at your local supermarket. I don't think it would be a good idea. They work in the microwave but I would never place in a regular oven at any temperature. FYI We like them except the lids are difficult to remove.

I don't know if they're microwave safe, but I frequently put hot food in them to serve my children. We haven't had any issues at all. These bowls and plates are extremely durable. We use them daily for our 4 and 6 year old for over a year and half and they still look brand new.

There is metal in this product so you would not be able to use it in microwave.

I do not think any plastic is safe in a microwave, they freeze well, and store my soups well. I help with meals for our church and use these to take soup and other meals to people. They go through the dishwasher great, no warped edges and good seal. I just transfer to paper or glass for microwave.... Hope this helps.
