Is there fine China that can be used in the microwave?

Answer 1

Most modern china a formal dinnerware can in fact be placed in the dishwasher. However, you should carefully load your china in the dishwasher to avoid jostling around during the wash cycle (which can cause breaking and chipping). If your china has any metal embellishments, the dishwasher's dry cycle should be avoided. Extreme hot temperatures will soften the metal which will make it prone to marring and scratching.
