Is the lid microwavable? My previous 15 oz grab it had a glass lid and it was perfect for microwaving a 12-16 oz bag of frozen veggies.

Yes it is microwaveable but not a conventional oven or oven. Dishwasher safe top rack.

The lid is plastic but is great in the microwave. I have some that are 10 years old and they have held up fine.

I cannot tell you if technically it is microwavable or not, however, I have been putting the lids in the mocrowave for 15 years without a single problem. We freeze individual servings of soup in the grabits with the lid. We take them out of the freezer, loosen the lid so it is no longer air tight, and put in the microwave to heat and then serve. I just looked on the cover, and it says: "Cover fo refrigerator, freezer and microwave use Do not use cover in coventional oven Dishwasher top tack only. Hope this helps.

I've read the instructions and it says that "Can be used in a preheated oven, microwave oven, refrigerator or freezer." There are some warning about microwave use, such as do not heat an empty or nearly empty glassware in the microwave and a couple of other warnings that you should read the instructions for. However overall the answer is, yes it is ok to heat food in the microwave with the lid on.

Personally I never microwave any thing plastic - BPA is only one of many chemicals. You are far better off heating something up in glass/ceramic. I will only use this for cold lunches. For Hot lunches I have a stainless steel soup container from LL Bean or I use a glass/pyrex storage container.

I havent had any trouble microwaving any of the bowls. I always take the lids off before i do. I dont know if it is needed but i leave them off as a precaution.

Yes, they are microwavable. Be careful that the top does not sit directly on the base. I had a case where I did not take the container and lid out of the microwave immediately after cooking. The top got sucked in and permanently deformed. I suggest not heating tomato-based items in the containers. Tomato tends to stain the plastic.

I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would not. Even if they said it was okay, I like it for its perfect use as a salad/cold cutup veggies use. Microwaving shortens the life of plastic in general and I recommend using either a Rubbermaid product or the Ziploc reusable but disposable containers for items that need microwaving. An added suggestion for microwave items is that my husband has me put such items in a plastic baggie (very cheap) then he has a large mug that he reheats food in. If you have that option, it's great because especially tomato products and enchilada sauce ruins plastic. I don't know what the manufacturer says, but I would not.

The top container and lid are microwaveable. The middle has an insulating top, so I would say no. The middle is also the largest. That said, when I microwave the middle container, I simply take the lid from the top container and snap it on one half of the middle container (it fits air tight, but you need to leave room for air to escape). This works for me!

I purchased 6 of these containers a few months ago and found they are great for freezing a left over meal. I defrost the meals by setting the container in a few inches of cold water for a couple hours, and I reheat the meals in a microwave using a microwavable dish, and not in the storage container. I have found they wash fine in the top rack of the dishwasher, and still look new, but again, I do not use them in the microwave. I am very satisfied with this container.

its says in the instruction manual that "Allow foods to cool before placing in the side bowl(s). Closing the lid with hot foods inside may cause the lid to deform and contents to spill." and also they add "Always remove the lid from the inner bowls before microwaving, and do to microwave the outer container. The lids and outer container are not microwaveable" and im sure you know but for a lid to be microwavable it has to have some sort of small hole in it so pressure wont build up , even if a lid writes microwavable on it if by design fault it does not have a hot steam escape hole on it you should never microwave it , you risk injury or at best destroying your microwave or food at best

Well, I think the reasoning is that the same dish can be used from freezer to microwave, and although defrosting is recommended you don't have to remove it from the freezer dish while defrosting prior to microwaving.

Actually, I can't answer that. The day I got it, someone in my office cracked it, and I have never used it. It makes a great pencil holder, (GRRR!). It is borosilicate glass, however, and this is what they use over Bunsen burners in labs. I would not have worried microwaving mine. Good luck!

This product is made of Very thick, heavy glass - lid and body both. According to the Amazon page, these are suppose to be microwavable. There is no plastic in the product I bought as gifts. I am not sure we are talking about the same dishes.

The glass bowl is microwave safe. Matter of fact, I bought one for me and one for my Dad to make peanut brittle in. He makes around 30# at christmas and makes it all in his microwave. It works great. I would not put the lid in the microwave as I would not want it to get that hot. Both Lid and bowl are dishwasher safe

Holds more than half a cup. I have never had a problem fitting a serving of potatoes, rice, or vegetables in one. It is Microwave and Dishwasher safe, says nothing about the freezer. I have left mine in the car outside in 20 degree weather with no ill effects, but never stored food in the freezer.

All the containers inside are microwavable! if you take a look at the lids on the container there should be instructions that runs along the lines of microwavable plastic
