Do these get overly hot in the microwave?

The dishes do not get overly hot in the microwave. The only time I notice any heat at all is when I reheat soup in a bowl, but that is from the hot soup, not the bowl. I have had my dishes for about 6-7 months, use them daily, and really like them.

They can get hot. For example I microwaved broccoli in one of the bowls with a plate set over the top yesterday for 3 minutes and I had to usepot holders to take out out. Just a typical plate of food for a minute or two doesn't get overly hot.

I filled a bowl 3/4 full with water and heated it in the microwave for one minute as a test. The top 1/4 of the bowl was OK, the bottom 3/ which was filled with water was very hot.

Yes, they are microwaveable. I have not had them ever get hot, except where the food itself heats the plate.

yes I've used them in the microwave. I love them, they all fit into each other and save space and I'm loving the colors

Box says yes, experience says no. I had ok experience with them until I heated up something with a sauce, which changed the texture of the bottom of the container permanently. I don't use them in the microwave anymore.

I use mine in the microwave a lot. I can't remember if the label said they were, I know they are dishwasher safe.

I've microwaved in them plenty of times, just remember the containers are rated to 100ºC (that's 212ºF!) so be sure not to heat it too much. The plastic is safe, but the container won't be much use if it melts.

Yes - I microwave mine all the time but do not put them in the oven they will melt.. Though I called customer service when it melted in the oven and they sent me a replacement

I would say no. They aren't supposed to be exposed to extreme temperature changes and it seems to me a microwave would heat them too quickly.

Yep. They will get hot after a while (like most plates), but I use them in the microwave all the time.

I have been using in microwave since I got them & have not experienced any trouble

We have not had any problems using them in the microwave so far, but watch out for superheating. They're pretty smooth, so it may look like water isn't boiling in them, and then the moment you put something in the water, explosive boiling.

They are fine in the microwave. I have put them in the oven on 180 to keep the food warm and had no issues.

Yes, they sure are. I put them in the top rack of the dishwasher and they are fine. I only microwave mine for a few seconds to reheat something small. I'm not sure you could heat them for several minutes. Also, I don't heat them with the lids on tightly.

They only stay hot or rather just warm as long as the food is really hot. They cool down very quickly to room temperature once they are out of the microwave oven.

I use them in the microwave all the time without any problems. The glass is really thick.

No, these do not get hot. We are able to remove plates/bowls/cups without the whole container taking on heat from the microwave. Areas not in direct contact with food/liquid being heated are not hot. HTH

Yes they get warm to hot the higher the temperature! Had them for a few years never any problems.
