I have used/cooked in melmac plates/bowls most of my life... in a microwave. I use and buy melmac to this day! Can you microwave in it... yes ....I do it all the time.....BUT, I have had only 5 pieces crack. Why do they crack/break when you microwave in them? All I can do is tell you my 40+ years experience with them. IF the melmac piece has (In My Opinion, and what I have read/heard) an air pocket in it, it can crack/break. I have had that happen only 5 times in my 40+ years experience. Melmac will get 'very' hot before the food gets hot as well, in a microwave. There will be warnings 'Not' to microwave melmac, but I have done it most of my life, and will continue to do so. :)
I have 'Never' had a piece of Melmac litterly 'blow up' when microwaving food.
In a microwave, I will only use 2 things....Melmac or Glassware...and I break more glassware than Melmac...mostly due to dropping it (glassware) or banging it too hard in the dish sink against some other dish . I LOVE my Melmac!!!!...and glassware...LOL.

Are melmac dishes oven safe?
I have done some research on melmac products and discovered that a number 7 on the bottom means it contains b.p.a. My melmac bowls have a number 4 on the bottom so are safe.I hope this helps a bit. connie in alberta Millions of people ate off of Melmac dishes during the 40's through the late 70's (they declined in popularity after that); I've found no evidence that any of them ever died as a direct result of using melmac dishes. Furthermore BPA has Not been proven to be dangerous to humans at the level that people are exposed to it. There is some evidence that it may harm some animals that were tested upon, but what might hurt a bunny or a rat won't necessarily hurt a human and they've yet to prove it will beyond a shadow of Much doubt. Click the Mommy Myth Buster link on this page for a very well written article on the myth of items made with BPA as dangerous to humans.
