Are these bowls heat proof? That is can i use it in a double boiler? I need a bowl for making swiss buttercream. will this do the job?

They have a rubber bottom so I doubt this would work for you. These bowls are more mixing type and work great with the rubber bottom to not slide over my granite counters.

Absolutely. I use mine at 450 degrees for my French Onion Soup. They are a heavy commerical grade bowl.

My experience is that they were only useful for mildly warm handles. Definitely not oven safe! I ended up purchasing some Le Creuset brand that are far superior but not oven safe either.

For low to medium-high heat they get warm but not so hot you need a pot holder. At high temperatures and for oven use, always use a mit. By the way, I stand by my original review -- I would not trade these for anything. Love them!

I have used them in the microwave with no problem. The box says dishwasher safe but doesn't speak to microwave-safeness. They're made of pretty sturdy glass- not delicate. I love these bowls - glad I bought two sets!

Yes, it can go in the oven. Nothing to melt. But why use a double boiler in the oven??

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.

They are a well made stoneware bowl set, but if you're looking for a microwaveable bowl that wont retain the heat you'd be better off with a plastic compound resin bowl I think, but the product in the bowl will retain the heat as well. Hope this helped.

Yes. The bowls appear to be microwave safe. However, after heating water for one minute in the bowl, you need a hot pad to remove it from the microwave. Knowing this, I would still buy this set. I think because the bowls are delicately designed is why they retain the heat. However, they are very durable.

This is a flame protector for pans with thin bottoms..to save from scortching. In my opinion..a double boiler is still the best way for cream soups or reheating mac and cheese. For instance this is good for rice or oatmeal.

They're no different than any other ceramic bowls. Nothing out of the ordinary as far as them getting too hot. I LOVE these ... they're great for pasta, etc. I purchased two sets because I broke two and couldn't find anything else comparable.

No, these bowls are not microwavable. You also cannot put them in the oven. They are dishwasher safe. I use them strictly as mixing bowls, and they perform wonderfully. They're very deep so that there's no splashing or bursting of flour out of the bowls. Love 'em.

Yes you can, but I would not heat the bowls in the microwave. They seem to thin to me, but I'm not sure because I only use the bowls for cold cereal.

I bought a dozen of these little bowls and I really enjoy using them. I haven't needed to microwave anything in them but I don't know why you couldn't use them in the microwave because they're glass.

The bowls dissipate heat very well but you still need to use a pot holder. They are of a thinner variety/bowl

I find that they don't get as hot as other bowls, but can get hot if you heat something too long. I lift it by the lip and place them on a potholder, just to be sure.I use the ever day and love them.

The steam cannot pass through the metal, however, it serves another purpose as the steam heats it from underneath. Double boilers are used to i.e. melt chocolate (if you otherwise tried to melt chocolate on the stove, it would burn) or heat up egg whites for meringue, but not cook them. It is used to get something warm over a period of time, rather than cook something quickly.
