Do they get hot when microwaved?

I only noticed the bowls being hot because they are filled up with food. Otherwise the plates and coffee mugs are fine.

They do get hot, but no different than porcelain bakeware I stick in there. I just use a dish towel or pot holder to take things out and let them sit for a minute. They are doing well in the dishwasher and I haven't chipped them yet.

Actually, we gave those dishes to our granddaughter. I believe they aare supposed to be safe in the microwave, but I have no idea if they get hot in the mw. They are really pretty, and we've not heard any complaints from her!

They do get hot. I would suggest a kitchen towel or a pot holder when first getting them out. Also, the big plates are too big for your average microwave. So that might factor into your purchase as well. They are nice though. I have used them for over a year and I don't even have a chipped one yet. (With 2 kids that also use them regularly, that is an amazing feat.)

The answer to your question is "NO". The only time the plate gets "WARM" is when you have something on it and have it in the microwave oven on high for over 6 minutes. The food will get extremely hot which will then make the plate warm to the touch. I've had food on these plates that was so hot I couldn't pick the food up but the plate was just a little warm. I don't think you will have any problem with these plates concerning heat transfer.

I have microwaved in them, not seeing anything saying not too. They would be perfect for those, they are a little smaller than the usual mugs of this type, making it a more reasonable serving.

NO They are made of rubber so they do not get hot. They are actually very flexible, easy to install. Really love them.

No, these do not get hot. We are able to remove plates/bowls/cups without the whole container taking on heat from the microwave. Areas not in direct contact with food/liquid being heated are not hot. HTH

Yes, they do. Only when coming straight from the oven are they hot. I love our set and had it for a year with no complaints.

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

These plates can be used in the microwave. They do get hot, especially in the areas where the food is lying; but, I have not been burned by them. They will actually be just slightly warm in all areas around the food.

Yes, and even prettier in real life. The photo doesn't do them justice. We also like that ours don't get hot when used in the microwave. Our old plates got hot, but the food stayed cold. These stay cool and the food gets hot.

They can get hot. For example I microwaved broccoli in one of the bowls with a plate set over the top yesterday for 3 minutes and I had to usepot holders to take out out. Just a typical plate of food for a minute or two doesn't get overly hot.

Yes. I use them in the microwave all the time. When you heat water for tea, the outside of the glass barely gets warm.

I have not used them in the microwave yet, but I love them for the lunches. We have 4 sets and I plan on buying someone soon, because there are 4 of us that use them all the time.

I haven't tried to microwave anything in them yet. But they are gorgeous and nice sizes! Sorry I couldn't be more help!

I use them in my microwave all the time, but just for reheating, never over a couple of minutes. Never had any issues with melting.
