Can you really use these to cover food while it's cooking in the microwave? It looks like it would melt or explode and cause a problem.

I use these for everything. When in the microwave, I don't seal it tightly and have never had a problem. I just love them. Use them on cans, cups, pans, casseroles--I like them so much more than the covers that fit pans and casseroles. Only thing is that in the fridge, if the overhang gets bumped, it can break the seal. No biggy. One second, one-hand fix. Did I say I love them?

I use these frequently to cover cups with soup or chili in the microwave. Solid seal, works great. Be careful of steam release when removing cover from bowls ext... I'm ordering a large cover for a fry pan without lid. It should work great. Hope you enjoy.

I do not know as I have never used them in a microwave but as soon as I take something out of the microwave, I cover it and keeps the food or drink warm. I love them for our morning tea

Not a good idea. They do not say "oven safe" on them. I have used them in the microwave, but they get VERY hot so I stopped doing that.

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

I have only used them in a regular oven, in which they work wonderfully. I don't think they are designed for a Microwave.

I wouldn't think so, in fact I think they would be damaged by the high heat of a microwave oven. Drying them in a warm (not with the oven on, just after it has warmed up a little and then shut off) might work. My question is how did they become so saturated that the would need to be dried. They are not meant to soak up liquid water, just water (humidity) in the ambient air.

I would not place these in the microwave. Plastic seems too flimsy and may melt.

For what its worth, I have two sets of "new" Pyrex. They see alot of fridge to microwave use, as they are the only containers that my husband and I use to take lunches to work. I've had zero problems. I'm inclined to think that we're not getting all of the info in the stories of exploding Pyrex. I'd guess that a dish has to have a hairline (invisible) crack in it somewhere- a weak point, if you will- for it to explode. If you bang them around and drop them, they are going to be stressed. It is still glass...

Well if you do canning you know these are boiled at high temperatures to preserve food, and I've heated up foods in the microwave in the past, I wouldn't try cooking with them in the microwave but do believe them to be safe for reheating foods.... Just keep in mind it is thin glass

I'm sorry I don't know the answer to that. I haven't used them in the microwave. I had the WS nesting bowls too, and found that over time, microwaving was not kind to them. I doubt it was the microwave itself, but rather the very hot contents. I'd ask Oggi.

Yes to both questions. But as I stated in my writeup, I've had problems with these covers becoming distorted when heated in my microwave oven. My Panasonic oven has a 1250 Watt cooking power, which is near the high end of the microwave power spectrum. So this may be one of the factors making my experience with these covers different than others.

Sure. They are metal and can be used in a regular oven. Probably since they are metal shouldn't be used in a microwave. They are very small. They are extremely small.

Nope :-/ they melt after like 10 seconds - they'll actually even start to melt if you put food in them that's too hot

If it's glowing red it's to hot. It will melt at or above 2200 F. You can use these pans in the oven turned all the way up or on the stove turned all the way up. Just don't use them in the microwave. It probably won't hurt the pan but the microwave might catch fire. Your house would burn down and you would have a pile of ashes with a shiny stainless steel pan laying in it.

I have put them in microwave just without the cover due to the gasket material I was unsure of. And I also have them in freezer all the time.

I no longer own them, but as I recall they are microwave-safe. I used them to reheat food and occasionally even as a cover for other plates I would microwave.

I doubt it. They are plastic. I haven't and wouldn't even try it. I have put them in the microwave. But I avoid microwaves as much as possible myself. Just my preference on reheating food.

If you heat something too long/too hot it would affect the temperature of the bowl, but if you are careful to remove it mostly by touching the lip of the bowl, you should be okay. They are a thinner microwave plastic than I prefer.
