Read some reviewers complaint about dishes breaking by being used in the microwave. Is that so?

I have used my soup dishes many times, as well as flat plates and salad plates, in the microwave and have had no cracking or breakage.

I got this set for my son and family. They have 3 small children and use these dishes in the microwave a lot. So far, not a single broken dish. They have had the set about a year. That's pretty much all I can say. No issues with the casseroles in the oven, either. Hope this helps

Cups and bowls say "Dishwasher safe top rack only" but plates say microwave safe. I'm always surprised when I get a set of anything and they're mix and match for use. I have cups by correll that also did this~ Wondered why the cups kept cracking/handles coming off, and low and behold, not microwave safe.

I put my smaller bowls in the microwave and haven't had a problem. The salad bowls are very large for individual salads though so I use them more for serving dishes. Therefore I rarely need to microwave the contents of the bowls. The bowls do conduct heat so be careful!

I haven't microwaved, but it is dishwasher safe. I mostly hand wash only because the glass is thin. Be careful not to let it bump into any other dishes. I cracked mine that way, so that's why I bought two.

Even though these products say dishwasher safe, I wouldn't recommend it. They are very fragile and chip easily in the dishwasher. These dishes would last longer if hand washed. As the other commenter stated, they do end up very hot in the microwave, but are otherwise fine. It is a very lovely dish set if handled with care.

Wow never heard of that before! These plates don't bend/warp and are solid hard microwave plates, perhaps under excessive heat in the hot water washing etc, in the dishwasher it may warp or even crack under those conditions. Had these for quite sometime and had not happen at all. These are relatively inexpensive microw plates and excellent for microwaving food. Esp these are made in the USA.

I own the small plates, large, and small bowls and have put the plates and small bowls in microwave without a problem. Haven't had the occasion to put the large bowls in the microwave yet.

Yes, definitely, although I found it difficult to use the largest one of these dishes in my microwave due to the handles. But if you have a large microwave, you shouldn't have problems with any of the dishes.

I've put them in the dishwasher and they haven't warped or melted, but I haven't put them in the microwave. I have mixed hot foods in them and it has not been a problem. They seem sturdy and durable enough to tolerate a fair amount of heat. Nothing too extreme. I would trust them in the microwave.

I think I remember them saying not to microwave them but I do. I've never had any problems with microwaving the compartments.

I have used them in the microwave and oven, and up until today had no problems. But when I used one of the mid-sized ones in the oven today, at 350, it came out with a crack almost all the way through the middle of it. I'm just glad it didn't make it quite all the way across, or I would have had a mess on my hands.

For what its worth, I have two sets of "new" Pyrex. They see alot of fridge to microwave use, as they are the only containers that my husband and I use to take lunches to work. I've had zero problems. I'm inclined to think that we're not getting all of the info in the stories of exploding Pyrex. I'd guess that a dish has to have a hairline (invisible) crack in it somewhere- a weak point, if you will- for it to explode. If you bang them around and drop them, they are going to be stressed. It is still glass...

No ! There amazing , you know how your plate will be scolding from the microwave and the food is still cold ? These actually don't retain heat and heats your food instead , and they don't break , I've loved mine .

It is marked on the bottom of the dishes that it is not microwave safe. It is safe for use in the dishwasher.

I use these in the microwave frequently without any problems. There's never been a problem running them through the dishwasher either, even with the sanitary setting turned on.

I've run them through the dishwasher several times with no ill effects. I haven't used them in the microwave, but since the packaging said not to, I figured the coating might come off if I did.

Yes..when reheating in the microwave, plastic wrap tends to melt a bit. I love these dishes anyway!
