Best Answer

Yes you can, as it does not have metal art on it.

Be sure not to OVER-cook anything on this type of plate in the microwave, as some foods can stick to it and possibly ruin the finish. Stay in the kitchen when using a Microwave - and check and turn or stir food if needed. Often a SHORT 2nd burst in the microwave is enough to finish, less than a minute, even if it didn't seem to heat in the first recommended time.

Can using melamine dishes damage a microwave oven?

In most cases no, the microwave is more likely to damage the melamine dishes. If you got real careless though and let melamine get hot enough to ignite something then it could damage the microwave. The main problem with melamine in a microwave is it can easily get hot enough to burn you, causing you to drop a hot dish of hot food. I used melamine frequently in my microwave, but only for reheating cold refrigerated leftovers. And then I always made sure the dish was completely full, so that the food would be heated by the melamine as well as partially shielding the melamine. Also I always checked it closely, usually breaking the cook time into 3 or 4 shorter intervals. Hot food on a warm melamine plate stayed hot much longer than food on a paper plate. I don't recommend this however, get careless at all and you will crack and char your melamine dishes.


Is it safe to microwave in melamine ware?

Do not microwave melamine. It will absorb the radiation and heat the bowl, plate, etc. and not the food. If it gets hot enough the melamine can become unstable creating bubbles or a break down in structure. Melamine resin will not melt and does have flame retardant properties making it great for many uses except in the microwave. Why then do they use it in kitchen wears? Well its cheap and until the advent of the microwave it served its purpose.
