Can you put glass in a microwave?

MOST glass- yes. However, some glass (usually with a blue tint) has a high iron content, and will get hot. Also note that if you are heating up a liquid in that glass, the liquid could literally explode when moved. To avoid this, put something like a chopstick in the liquid while it is being heated in the microwave. Although rare, it should still be avoided. See related link [1] below for more information.
