can you microwave it instead of boiling it? Is what you're heating a gel material? I'm wondering if they allow it on airplanes &acirc;&#128;" anyone know?

You cannot microwave it but you only have to boil it to get it back to its cooling position... You click a button to make it hot. The material is some liquid that then, when the button is clicked, has a chemical reaction and becomes crystallized. I have used mine on airplanes, but I purchased my first one in an airport. I would say either show it to them and say it's for a medical condition, and they'll swab it, or don't even take it out when you go through security.

You can bake with it in the oven. Not sure about microwave? I don't really care for it.

Sorry. That was my experience exactly. I microwaved for the max time and it was only warm, not nearly hot enough to keep a meal warm through a plate. I will be looking for something electric next time.

I no longer have the packaging, but it's plastic, so I would think it could be microwaved. I just use it as a holder, not to cook or heat in.

In the microwave? I suppose so. I put leftover soup or spaghetti in a small one to reheat for lunch. Personally I prefer to make the soup on a stove top so the flavors have more time to blend, but if you were making something simple, I don't see why it wouldn't work.

I don't put it in the microwave, I put it on top of a diffuser on the burner (low) and pour the boiling water in, stirring after each increment.However since it's porcelain I believe putting it in the microwave should be fine but for good quality coffee, not so good.Hope that helps, Michele

I am not recommending it, but check with the manufacturer on boiling it. A lot of these types of products have the option to microwave OR boil... Good luck!

Darned if I know, never done that. Why would you want to do that? If it's just to re-use, reheat it on the stove or microwave. I don't think I'd try pouring coffee into water reservoir.

I have never microwaved it. I do not use it for 'heat', I only use it for COLD and it works wonderful with COLD!!! Sorry I could not help you further.

That's a good question. However, I don't see how you can heat it evenly at proper temperature without a microwave. It just does not make logical sense to me. The microwave will heat it to proper temperature using only 25 to 30 seconds. Also, I have found this to be a superior product.

I like hearing that. Microwaving would be faster and easier. Do you remember the link to the page online that says it can be microwaved?

I have not tried microwaving it, but I probably would not recommend doing so. Try putting hot or warm water in your drink instead if you are trying to break up protein powder.

You can heat it in the microwave, but you want to remove the lid immediately afterward or the pressure will draw the lid down in tight and be really hard to remove. It is silicone, so it is microwave safe. the lid will not be hot either, but the food/steam will be! Hope this helps.

Frankly, I Haven't ckecked that. However, you can bake it and put it in the microwave, so I think it has pretty high tollerance to heat. Hope this helps.

I strongly suggest that anytime you employ a microwave to heat, or cook, any food or beverage,you must handle it with care, and use a pot holder, or oven mitt!Gee whiz, I would asssume that you would understand that it is going to be very warm, or hot.Is that not what a microwave oven is intended to do?Of course, this is just a suggestion from a person who had to learn his lesson, the hard way!

I would not attempt it. I have no need to put it in the microwave. I am happy with it's intended use.
