Wondering if your Ello Duraglass 2 Cup meal prep bowls are microwave safe? Here's what you need to know about using them safely in the microwave.
Quick answer
Yes, the Ello Duraglass 2 Cup glass bowl is microwave safe, but the lid and silicone sleeve must be removed before microwaving.
Why remove the lid and sleeve?
The Duraglass bowl itself is made of tempered glass that can handle microwave heat. However, the leak-proof lid contains plastic components and seals that are not designed for microwave use. The extra thick silicone sleeve protects the glass from chips and drops but can trap heat or warp if microwaved.
What about overnight oats and soups?
The 2 Cup size is perfect for reheating single servings of soups, layered salads, or overnight oats. Just transfer the bowl (without lid or sleeve) to the microwave, heat in short intervals, and stir to avoid hot spots.
Microwave safety FAQ
- Is the Duraglass 2 Cup bowl microwave safe?
- Yes, the glass bowl alone is microwave safe. Always remove the silicone sleeve and the leak-proof lid before microwaving.
- Can I microwave the lid?
- No. The lid contains plastic and seals that are not microwave safe. Microwaving the lid can damage it and compromise the leak-proof seal. Use a microwave-safe cover or paper towel instead.
- Can I microwave the silicone sleeve?
- No. The silicone sleeve is designed for grip and protection during storage and transport, not for microwave use. Remove it before heating.
- How long can I microwave the bowl?
- Heat in 30-60 second intervals. The glass can become hot, so use a mitt or towel to handle it. Avoid rapid temperature changes (e.g., from fridge to microwave). Let the bowl sit for a minute after microwaving to equalize temperature.
- Can I use the bowl in the oven or on the stovetop?
- No. The Duraglass bowl is not labeled as oven safe or stovetop safe. Use it only in the microwave (without lid/sleeve) or for refrigeration and storage.
