When you say microwave safe, does that mean the outside colored surface doesn't get real hot?

Correct. I recently heated up some water to a very hot temperature with smoke coming out of the bowl. The outside of the bowl was warm but not hot and I easily removed it out of the microwave.

The lid is plastic, and yes, it is microwave safe. The bowl is ceramic, the bottom plastic, and if you put it in the microwave to do say rice, when you take it out, the bottom is cool, the lid is warmish, and the bowl is warmish or a little more. I treasure mine.. I use it for my evening meal, and that is to say the bowl is fairly large so you can do rice and veggies and wind up with a good meal. Good stuff this bowl.

I would suggest that it may not be safe because as Stavros mentioned there may be metallic substances in the glaze or the ceramic. And neither have I tried it in a microwave - like the others. I only use it with hot water from the kettle and I hand wash it.

Yes. The exterior is slightly warm on the bottom, but not enough to heat up whatever is underneath.

Because it is not clearly marked, I wouldn't assume that they are microwave safe. My Pyrex bowls are all marked safe for microwave, for example. They are rather thin, so on the plus side each piece is lightweight, but not as durable as something heavier. I guess that's the trade off.

The directions say it can but I don't heat up any kind of plastic in the microwave.

They do not microwave safe or not to microwave safe.... I have used mine in the microwave and the don't melt or get overly hot. I've washed on the bottom rack of the dishwasher several times and the heat doesn't effect them at all.

Well, the rule goes like this: "Glass and glass ceramic cookware is microwave safe as long as it doesn't have gold or silver rims.", so it's safe :)

Yes, it is microwave safe ... and no, I've not noticed the handle getting hot. I heat (okay, reheat too) coffee in it, and I've used it pretty much daily for the past year. It's my second -- the first one I broke when I accidentally banged it into the wall while walking to the breakroom for a refill. LOVE this mug! And it's perfect size, too!

From Calibowl's website - http://www.calibowl.com/faq/#q10 "Yes, all of our products have been certified and tested by a USA 3rd party lab for microwave safety. Please avoid heating oil or heavily oiled foods at a high temperature for a long period as it may lead to stains or surface deterioration. For more information please see our" It doesn't say on the bottom of the bowls. It probably says in the packaging which we recycled. We LOVE these bowls. We need to get another set because they're everybody's favorite bowls.

I'm sorry, but I don't know. I do thaw and heat items hotter than can be eaten in a microwave with no apparent problems.

Yeah, probably not as hot as quickly as glass, but yes. One nice thing is the bigger containers have handles, which tend to stay cooler longer and you can often pick them up by the handle without a potholder or anything. Everything gets hot to some degree in the microwave.

No. Its a plastic container(I think) and If you microwave it I assume something bad will happen! Just dont do it :)

Mine have held up fine through many re-heats (although mine are different than this picture, the lids are hard plastic with a rubber gasket and snap on). The glass bowl certainly is microwave safe, so if you are extra-conscious about plastic in the microwave, just take the lid off.

Good question! The paints made for the inside of a microwave oven are usually enamel. Rust-Oleum High Heat is an enamel paint. The inside walls of a microwave oven do not reach the temperature levels that Rust-Oleum High Heat paint is designed to withstand -- 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit. If you touch the inner wall of a microwave right after cooking, it may be warm, but that is about it. There really is no reason for you to purchase this paint for the inside of a microwave. If you do a search on Amazon for microwave cavity paint you will come up with several products, including one by Rust-Oleum, specifically designed for the inside of your microwave.

The outside does get hot as the product is stainless steel. I typically put a cutting board under the product just in case. The product did not produce enough heat to worry about heating the room versus the oven.
