Can I heat milk in these using my microwave? For my vanilla chai.

I heat water in them in the microwave all of the time and never have any problems. I even rinse and reuse the cups - and then heat water in them in the microwave. I usually stop at 4 rounds of this, but they don't lose integrity at all, and I don't notice any melting wax or burned paper.

Although the package indicates these cups are not intended for use in a microwave, I have been microwave heating and reheating my milk in them for years. They hold up well for the few minutes they are heating and do not melt or spark.

Hello,Yes, If you want to warm the cloths, you would use a microwave. Basically, you'd leave them in the package and follow heating instructions on the package (don't overheat and be careful so you don't get burned). If you follow the directions, it's pretty safe to use heated.

I am not sure but they would get very hot and I wouldn't chance it. Maybe go directly to their website for confirmation? They do heat up in the microwave.

Well, you can heat milk. It is not actually "steamed" since you don't use a steam wand with this Frother. It does a good job of heating the milk, and is quiet. It is not great if you want the dense micro foam that I was looking for.

I warmed them in a pan. They cooked extremely quick. I haven't tried in a microwave. They are very thin so they do break. Inedible raw.

Hello! I personally have not tried to microwave with them, but from what I read on Google, you can, but probably shouldn't be an everyday practice due to chemicals that are released and the "hot" plastic that results from the microwave. Here's an example of what I read from Google: There can be a very small amount of migration of the melamine-formaldehyde resin, but as you stated elsewhere, the FDA concluded that it was well below the safe use limit. However, the real reason for not microwaving melamine dishes or cookware is that it can become very hot when microwaved. Most plastics are microwave transparent and do not get hot. Melamine absorbs microwave energy and, as a result, heats. Hello!

I think so. See post below. You can also heat them in the microwave and put them in a basket of rolls to keep them warm.

Sorry, dont know as I have never put them in a microwave. I doubt it tho, as I am pretty sure the whole crock would get hot.

We do not use them in the microwave and wash them by hand (more just to keep them looking nice). They are a heavy plastic and I wouldn't hesitate to put hot liquid in them but probably not boiling liquid. If we need to melt butter for the recipe, we use a separate bowl and then add it. Hope that helps.

I just read that they are not recommended for use in the microwave. Oops. :P

It's not safe to do this; the handle woud get too hot. Use a ceramic cup to warm your milk in the microwave instead!

I suppose you could, but I think the process would be too slow, considering that microwave heats it in 3-4 minutes ,max. Also, I have no idea what oven heat you would use

Yes. To add on to someone's question about how hot they get after microwave use, they are not even close to my old Pfaltzgraf set, which I couldn't touch with my bare hands. These get fairly hot after minutes of microwaving, but if you're just warming something up briefly, you can touch them and they won't burn you. They're awesome.

Yes. I wouldn't put it in the microwave for long, if you do, but I do put warm drinks in mine.

I assume so, but like any plastic cup it will feel hot to the touch - the plastic isn't super thick - I wouldn't microwave them to warm them up though.
