does anyone know if the handles get hot when you microwave these mugs? I had a customer ask me last night at a show and I wasn't sure since I don't have these yet. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
 
No more so than any other mug in the microwave. They get slightly warm, but not hot.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any mug in the microwave?

No, not all mugs are microwave-safe. It's important to check for a label or symbol indicating that the mug is microwave-safe. Mugs made from certain materials, like metal or some types of plastic, can cause issues in the microwave.

How do I know if my mug is microwave-safe?

Can I microwave mugs with metallic designs?

No, mugs with metallic designs or accents should not be microwaved. The metal can cause sparks and potentially start a fire in the microwave. Always opt for mugs that are free of metal when using the microwave.

What should I do if my mug gets too hot in the microwave?

If your mug becomes too hot to handle, use an oven mitt or a towel to remove it from the microwave. Allow it to cool for a few minutes before attempting to touch it again. Consider using a mug with a heat-resistant handle for added safety.

Are there any specific brands of mugs that are recommended for microwaving?

While many brands offer microwave-safe mugs, Pampered Chef mugs are specifically designed for safe use in the microwave. Always check the manufacturer's guidelines to ensure the mug is suitable for microwave use.
