Is the Anchor hocking glass bowl set microwave and oven safe?

It is definitely microwave safe. I use them to melt butter or steam veggies all the time. I do not know about oven safe. I have never used any of them in the oven. I seem to recall that the packaging said that the larger ones were oven safe, but I am not sure about that.

I just put one in the microwave on the defrost setting and it broke down the middle.

It is oven safe & microwave save. In fact it is imprinted on the bowl that it is conventional oven safe. Can't be used under broiler or on stove top.

I have used them in the microwave and oven, and up until today had no problems. But when I used one of the mid-sized ones in the oven today, at 350, it came out with a crack almost all the way through the middle of it. I'm just glad it didn't make it quite all the way across, or I would have had a mess on my hands.

Yes! I recently used the bowls to melt chocolate (microwave) for chocolate covered strawberries. These bowls are an excellent product and will last forever! Great purchase!!

Definitely not. I just put one in the microwave for 2 minutes on High to make oatmeal. Had been doing this all week. Heard a loud pop, stopped the microwave, and the entire bowl had shattered leaving tiny shards of glass everywhere. I took photos and am writing to the company.

Both Amazon and other retailers of this product indicate that it is dishwasher and microwave safe. There doesn't seem to be any indication that it is oven safe so it is probably a good not to try that mode of cooking. Dan

Being cautious, I would remove the plastic bottom ring first...then just glass remains which can be microwaved. But the bowl is big...so you must have a very large microwave.

Yes, they are. I have had the set for several months and have used them in the microwave and dishwasher with no problems.

The instructions say to not use the glass for cooking in the oven. They are safe for the microwave, though.

I am not an expert at all. However, I have used the bowls in the microwave occasionally to reheat food on less than full power. The porcelain is probably safe, but the glaze gets quite hot.

No, the plastic ones are not, but dishwasher safe. Very good product. I have not tried to use the glass lids in microwave. Sorry!

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.

They are NOT indicated as "microwave safe" on the bowls. They are a Type 2 plastic, which is "high density polyethylene" (HDPE) = May be safe, although some recommend against food contact when microwaving. I personally do NOT use these in the microwave. They seem fine in the top rack of the dishwasher, but I wouldn't put them on the bottom rack.

I have been using this set for dining with very little microwaving in any of the dishes. The pieces are stamped "microwave and dishwasher safe." They seem fine with the little microwaving to warm something that I've done.

Writing on the bottom of the bowl states it's safe for the microwave but not the broiler or stovetop. No mention on *this* bowl, but other similar bowls are ovenproof. Including smaller sizes of the same bowl.

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.

No these are not microwave safe it has a silver metal edge. I bought this set a week or so ago and couldn't be more happy. This set is for my everyday use so I keep microwave safe dishes in the drawer beneath my microwave then transfer from that to the porcelain. This set is very nice and has a lot of dishes per setting and you cannot beat the price. Hope this answers your question.

no I don't believe the bottom of the bowls would be oven-safe its a kind of rubberized surface

I haven't put them in the microwave. It is made of ceramic. The bowls are small. I use it for cold food . The box does not say microwave safe

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.
