can you microwave with the lids on?

Yes. There is a small hole in the top that serves as a vent for that purpose. You just rotate the dial on the lid.

as far as i am concerned these are made for food storage and re heating only.... i cooked one time with them and the bottoms of two of them got blisters in the plastic so they are no substitute for corning ware... i am sorry i bought them...

Yes. I microwave often with the lids on. (Be sure the little vent hole is open). I love this set more all the time.

I have not used the lid in the microwave. The lid I have is an extremely tight fit but being that it is plastic, it should work.

Yes, but I do recommend putting the lid in the microwave. It may change the shape.

The plastic lids can be used in the microwave, but I only use the glass cover for the microwave and save the plastic lids for storage.

I'm sorry, I can't help. I haven't put them in the microwave. The lids are still okay.

Yes they can, but as was mentioned prior. Make sure that it's properly vented. If you have these sealed around a bowl while microwaving, the potential exists for making quite a mess!

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

Absolutely not! They are not made for high temps like the oven; however, they are definitely microwave friendly.

I would bet the containers could, but I would't put the lids straight from freezer to microwave.

I have not used them in the microwave but I would think so as glass is usually tempered to withstand heat. You'd re-heat soup since they're soup bowls.

I have not tried it, but given the lid is very secure, even if I did try it, I would microwave it without the lid. food does stay fairly warm, so unless you want piping hot, you may not need to microwave.

I use the plastic lids in the microwave all the time and I have not found it to be a problem.

Yes, it is. I don't use the lids, but i have had no issues with the container when using the Microwave.

They do nest quite nice when lids are attached. I do not put lids in microwave or dishwasher but besides that I love these containers!!

You can take the crock out of the outer metal container that has the electric controls and put the crock in the microwave. I have never put the lid in the microwave. It may have a metal ring around it thus making it unsafe to do so.

yes, you can microwave it without the lid on. However the mug is very tall and it actually doesn't fit in my microwave.

I never use the lid as a cover in the microwave, even loosened. I think it would damage the rubber seals.
