Can you put it in the microwave?
 
No!!!!!I had a host do this once, messed it all up. I guess the bowl is in two layers with a gel in between. She said when she put it in the microwave, the layer inside the bowl bubbled up over the top edge of the bowl, and spilled every single drop of her soup out into the microwave.
 
When in doubt, check the use & care guide. They are on PC's website for every product.

Here's what it says about the CB & Microwave:

Do not place Chillzanne Bowl and lid in microwave oven.
