I know this says microwave safe but....i need one that doesn't get too hot to touch after cooking oatmeal in it? Is this heat resistant at handle?

I have not microwaved anything in this, but I have with their coffee mugs, and the handles don't get hot. I'm sure these will be the same.

You can grab it from the microwave with no problem. I reheat my coffee every day & the handle is never hot.

i think so - as i put extremely hot coffee into my mug daily - and i have no trouble picking it up by the handle almost immediately - and the heat does not transfer to the handle over time - so no problem. one caveat - as you appear to be female, i would warn you that this is a pretty heavy mug - which at first bothered me, but i've learned how to pick it up so the weight no longer is an issue. however, i'm male, 6 feet and 182 pounds.

It is dishwasher safe and chemical resistant. We do not use it for microwave cooking, so I don't know how much heat it will withstand.

Sorry, I have not tried to microwave it because of the rubber handle grip. But that doesn't mean you can't, I just haven't. I kept my old Pyrex for that purpose. Other than that, I love these measuring cups.

I have used the bowls in the microwave and they do get hot. I hold the bowl with a dish cloth while I'm eating from it. There has been no damage to them. They are microwave safe. I love those dishes.

I really don't know if it is microwave safe or not! The base description says dishwasher safe and those two attributes are NOT inter-changable. Unless I see it specified, I do not assume that it is. You may have to contact the manufacturer. Good luck with your search.

IMO, most of the answers to this question miss the point. Dishwasher safe? Sure. Microwave safe? No. It's plastic! The real risk is damage to humans who eat food from microwaved plastic, not damage to the plastic product itself. As the manufacturer said in it's answer, they don't recommend microwaving anything plastic.

I haven't used mine in the Microwave since it says on the bottom of the bowl not to. I don't always follow instructions, but I sure don't want to mess these nice bowls up!!

It states microwave safe on the info. I have used it in the microwave with no problems.

Don't cook instant oatmeal in them unless your microwave is already dirty, it boils over

yes, Jordan, the Harold soup mug is definitely safe for microwave cooking, as well as for reheating. just know that the mug and handle can both get very hot in the mw, so you need to place harold on top of a mw-safe plate and then you will be able to easily remove the cooked food. I purchased a nordicware mw-able dinner plate. (from amazon). And don't forget to use a loose lid. I've used my harold mug 3-5 x weekly for months and months. My only style wish would be a second handle, but nobody asked my opinion.

Absolutely this is microwave safe. I own it and researched this myself once. I found several references on google, such as, "Microwave reheat-safe, up to 2 minutes recommended." A google search of the phrase "Clarus Unbreakable Tritan microwave" gives several hits which confirm this is microwave safe. I think amazon will remove the link but my references were from simplysmartliving dot com and kidsmartliving dot com.

It's not safe to do this; the handle woud get too hot. Use a ceramic cup to warm your milk in the microwave instead!

I try to avoid putting plastics in the microwave. I wouldn't use this to heat anything up. It is great for sandwiches and salads and hard boiled eggs.

If you are organized here is the trick!! The previous evening I put 1/3 cup of dry oats in a bowl with 2/3 cup boiling (or hot) water. In the morning you just microwave for 2 1/2 minutes and the oatmeal is perfect!! It is going to boil so make sure the bowl is big enough to accommodate the porridge as it cooks!

It - the handle - warms up a little (yes it is touchable) in microwave but doesn't get too hot to touch.

I am so sorry I have never used it in the microwave! I and many others have used it in the toaster oven successfully. Even though this mat goes to 500 degrees, you still have to watch that it doesn't get too close to the elements! Hey, by the way, my mom is in Kauai right now for a month visiting her brother! Take care and thank you!
