Fire hazard. How many people have expericned these bowls melting on the bottom?

Ours ran out of water sometime in the day and when I went to feed in the evening the bottom was glowing orange. Hasn't worked since so I assume it burned up due to no water.

We have not had problems like that. We are on our second one now and haven't had any problems except our first just quit heating and the water froze. We had our first one 4 years....

Your kidding, right? I have found the bowls are barely "warm " to the touch. Just came in from letting flock out of their coops. It is 12 degrees and water was still perfect, & kept them hydrated through the night. Mine sets on a short wooden box. Perhaps if you put them on a additional heated surface but that is even hard for me to buy into. They are a blessing to us.

I wish I could help you, but I don't know. I would assume that the lid is not oven safe as it is a different plastic than the bowl. I've only used the bowls in the microwave, thus have never tried them in the oven.

I bought these and they were all melted badly. What made it worse was it was a gift. Several other reviews had the same problem, I strongly suggest you buy something else.

The handle, lid knob and feet on bottom are plastic ... I've had no problem with with too hot to handle or melting. The stoneware, glass lid and metal outside skin all get very hot on high, but we use weekly and have never had a bad burn. hope this helps some. John

These are made of glass. They are not plastic, therefore melting would be highly improbable. Keep in mind that they are made of a thin glass that is very fragile. Hand washing them will help to keep them safe from any unexpected flying utensils that they may come into contact with inside of a dishwasher.

No. As I recall, they were shipped in a priority mail box.I had no problem with them being melted. Order when the weather is cool.

I have never had any problem with melting and have been using for several years. I never cook above 350.

No. The bottom says, "Not for use in microwave..." I love these bowls except for that.

Yes they r. The ring around the bottom falls off when you lift the kettle to pour..it is hot and has melted rings in my nylon rug that is on the floor in front of the stove. It also is so hot you need an oven mitt to pick it up when it falls. It would also burn a child or pet if it landed on them

I have had no problems, but i'm sure if the stove is on high and you boil all the water away melting could occur.

I don't think they will. They are pretty sturdy. Mine are inside and it hasn't been hot enough here ( in NY) yet to melt them (they are not in air conditioning).

I don't use them, but I think the manual said something about melting things like that on the stove before putting them in the fryer. The manual is probably available online, so you might look there.

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

I have not put anything warm in these bowls. We use them on our patio for outdoor dinners

We never had that problem with ours. It worked great. We only had it for about 4 months; our house burnt down. But hey, we loved it before it melted!

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

They are built hefty with thick aluminum to transfer some of the heat so not much chance of fire. Likely millions sold and not one fire to my knowledge, if there was you'd be seeing a huge class action suit.
