The BB&B and amazon sites say these are dishwasher and microwave safe, however the Royal Doulton site says they are not. Anyone have experience w/ ?

Mine routinely go into both the microwave and the dishwasher with no problem. And by the way, the box from the manufacturer that packaged the dinnerware says dishwasher and microwave safe right on it. There is no trim or glazing that should present a problem to keep you from using a microwave or dishwasher.

Well, I'm just displaying mine for the most part in glass-front cabinets -- ha! -- but I have washed the mugs in the dishwasher over and over, and there has been no damage whatsoever. That's been my only experience thus far.

They wash fine in the dishwasher, and I put them in the microwave too. But, when I dropped a spoon on the bowl, it made a huge, unrepairable chip.

I do not have a dishwasher, but have used the dishes in the microwave continuously for eight months. No problem at all. I can not imagine that they would not be dishwasher safe. They are beautiful. The dinner plates generously sized.

It says do not microwave on the bottom of the plate, but they are dishwasher safe. I haven't tried microwaving as I prefer not to cook on plastic.

They are NOT indicated as "microwave safe" on the bowls. They are a Type 2 plastic, which is "high density polyethylene" (HDPE) = May be safe, although some recommend against food contact when microwaving. I personally do NOT use these in the microwave. They seem fine in the top rack of the dishwasher, but I wouldn't put them on the bottom rack.

Dishwasher absolutely. We haven't used them in the microwave often, but I don't think there'd be any problem.

These are a very thick kind of plastic. It says nothing about being dishwasher safe or microwave safe. In general, plastic items should not be microwaved, but it doesn't say not to. I'd personally not do it.

They do not say either on the cups or the package whether or not they are microwave safe. We have microwaved them a few times without incident, but I try not to do it often.

The bottom of the teapot states, "Dishwasher Safe and Microwave Safe." I have not used either the dishwasher or microwave on my set. Hope this helps.

They are microwave and dishwasher safe but I do not microwave the covers since they are plastic. They are great

They are probably not dishwasher or microwave safe.They'd probably melt / deform in either the dishwasher or microwave.You could probably hand rinse/wash an reuse if needed, but considering - it's probably not advisable.

Yes. It says dishwasher and microwave safe. I have microwaved mine several times with no problem.

Hi Just Wondering, The only answer I have for you at this point is that the box says "dishwasher and microwave safe". I do not know if they are a grade for High Heat dishwashers. You might be able to find some info by contacting the producers of the Rachel Ray mugs. Sorry I don't have a better answer for you. Cheers, Dave

I use mine in the microwave and wash in the dishwasher. Have had for over a year and they still look fantastic. I'm glad I bought them - I'm very happy with them.

NO, not microwave safe. I hand wash mine. I use them for entertaining outside on our patio and everyone remarks on how nice they look.

wait, i do not know that for a fact. i thought they were both dishwasher and microwavable but nothing is stated on the bowls. When I look at the bowls on line they say dishwasher safe and BPA. Thus I am not sure about nuking them'

yes,it is safe in the microwave-you have to be sure to open the little vent on the cover so the steam can escape.I have not washed them in the dishwasher.

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??

I have used them in the microwave without any issues. I don't have a dishwasher, but I imagine they would be fine.
