Can this cup be used in a microwave?

My cups came without any warnings so I am playing it safe and just heating the water.

Martha -- I don't use microwaves because it has been shown that they chemically rearrange the food (and drinks) in ways that the body cannot recognize. In addition, since microwaves emit energy that is harmful, just being near them is damaging to your health. So, I don't know if this cup can be used in a microwave, but I would advise against it simply because it will harm the water and tea. A Google search will disclose the MANY dangers of microwaves. Russia banned them many years ago for this reason. Hope this helps.

No its more of a cup you use if you have a tea kettle or your warming the water first

I would not recommend putting this mug in the microwave. The ceramic handle for this mug appears to be hollow and would most likely crack. However it is a beautiful mug !! I love mine.

I should not even try it. Metals in microwave are dangerous. I heat the milk in a regular cup and then pour on the stainless steel cup

I believe it is not microwave safe because of the metallic paint around the rim in either gold or silver. It can tolerate hot water just fine! :-) I just love having tea from this set of cups.

You are able to take the glass portion out of the plastic holder so yes in theory you could use it in the microwave. I personally don't think I would be microwaving the glass portion though. You would need mitts to pull it out and then you would not be able to put it back into the plastic holder which would defeat the purpose of intended use.

No! You will ruin your mug! Do not put it in the microwave or the dishwasher.

Yes, this can be used in the microwave. It can also be used in the dishwasher.

I believe so, its a clay mug. I have only put it into the microwave once and there was not damage to it. To that extent, I say I am not sure.

Yes, you should be able to use it in the microwave, its glass and plastic as long as you remove the infuser.

I haven't tried (and wouldn't based on the suspected materials). Plus, the cup doesn't say "microwave safe" on it.

yes, I use them in the microwave to heat my creamer before I pour the coffee. I have had these cups for a couple of years and the pattern is still bright also, and has not faded in the dishwasher.

Yes, I have used it in the microwave and measured hot broth and have had no problems. It is the measuring cup I use the most in my kitchen. This is my second one, I had one before for years.

I have used these lovely cups for several tea parties using boiling water. Since my china cups are delicate I wouldn't recommend putting them in the microwave. My guests love these cups and my granddaughters too!

No! I boil the egg in water and then place it in the cup. Microwaving the egg may cause an explosion of the egg in the microwave.

I don't think that it can go in the microwave. I believe there is a metal screw that attaches the handle. I have never tried.

Label doesn't indicate it is. Also, there is a soft plastic/foam material (green) around the cup. I would think that's not safe for microwaves.

I've never actually used it in the microwave but it's made of heavy weight hard plastic. I wouldn't hesitate to put in the microwave.
