can I bake or microwave in these pots?

I have not microwaved the pots. The pots have a metal lining (stainless steel?) in the inside. I don't think it the pots are microwave safe.

No you cannot bake in these pots because the plastic will melt. You cannot microwave because there is metal inside that helps keeps the items warm. You cannot put metal in a microwave.

I don't see why they couldn't. they are sturdy, basic, and beautiful. They are microwave, dishwasher and oven (to a certain temp) friendly.

I don't think you can. They are dishwasher safe and microwave safe, but none of the information I have says they are safe in the oven and I have never tried them in the oven. The bakeware pieces, of course, can be put in the oven, but I wouldn't try with the plates.

Yes they can. I just called Neway, the distributor, and they said: The pots can go in the oven to 500 degs, and the glass lids to 350 degs. So, I can use them to cook a slow roast or stew with the glass lids on, because it is cooked low and slow.

You need the porcelain/ceramic pot (caquelon) for those types. You can use the same assembly for heating but the metal pot will cook them at the wrong temp. Great set btw, got it at xmas and have used it a couple times since!

No. You can use the metal coated cooking pans that brown microwave safe food products in. Some Chicken Pot Pies have a metalized inside cover over the pie.This is OK.

No, these bowls are not microwavable. You also cannot put them in the oven. They are dishwasher safe. I use them strictly as mixing bowls, and they perform wonderfully. They're very deep so that there's no splashing or bursting of flour out of the bowls. Love 'em.

It was my understanding they are not microwavable! Too tall for my microwave anyway.

You might be able to, but I have never tried. They just "feel" more like platters than baking pans. You could possibly use them to warm things in the oven or toaster oven I suppose. We love them - perfect for sending foods out to the grill and back on a separate platter, then putting them in the dishwasher.

Yes! We don't own a microwave, so we bought fiestaware to use when we reheat stuff. The dinnerware is oven safe up to 350 degrees.

Yes, they can. I'm not much of a microwave user, but have used them there on occasion.

Yes you can, however I haven't made any yet. You might want to buy the "Good Health Clay Pot" cook book, Hedi Levine. It has all the recipes you need and the temperatures you should be using for this pot (it differs from regular pots). Hope this helped.

You can use this pot with any kitchen cooking surface, even induction. Bak or Broil in any oven (except Microwaves of course)

Yes you can use these in both the oven and the microwave. However, even in the microwave they get quite hot, so I would recommend using a potholder when removing them from the oven.

Yes just like regular crock pots--and you can put the crock in the microwave to reheat things quickly as long as you don't put the lid on it.

Because this is a clay pot, they cannot withstand immediate high heat. They will crack. The cooking temperature has to rise slowly. As an example, I would cook my beans by putting the pot in a cold oven with the food in it and let the pot get warmed as the oven warms to the temperature it's going to cook at. As for cooktops, I would think you could but you would need to use a good sturdy heat diffuser and start your heat low until the pot is warmed and then increase your heat to cook your food.

You can probably lightly microwave food in them if you are careful. As long as you heat food up in short intervals like 90 seconds at a time stirring in between intervals you will probably be okay. Setting the microwave on 5 minutes and leaving it would melt the containers undoubtedly.
