Microwavable Bowl

[disneychrista]

Anyone have any recommendations for a bowl that I could use to microwave my oatmeal at work that doesn't get super hot to the touch? The bowl I am using now gets really hot after a minute and I actually burned my finger the other day.

A tad pricey IMO but guess it gets the job done when you are in a hurry:

Find a clear, tempered glass one. Pyrex or similar.

I prefer plastic to glass in the microwave as glass gets too hot. I have a set of microwavable Tupperware bowls that I always use for oatmeal.

Sometimes I use one of my soup bowls that has a handle.

How about a microwaveable mug?

Or maybe getting a small electric kettle and making instant oatmeal?

I use (and we have oatmeal 3-4 times a week) Corning ware small bowls that have a handle and a lid.
We also have bowl holders we use also. DD gave them to us and they are great. Amazon calls them hot bowl cozies

Link please. These sound awesome. We have some small, deep Corelle bowls. I think they are “custard” bowls… but there no handle or lid.

(Off to find a link to ours)

I can only find the bowl with no lids on Amazon, but if you search for them, a lot of other brands come up.
Mine are from the 70s

I like those Dollar Tree like soup cups w/handles for the microwave. If you cover it w/a paper plate and put a paper plate under it in the microwave it should help with the possible mess that might happen.

Those potholder-like things that they sell at craft shows are pretty good for shielding your hands from hot bowls from the microwave. However, that has the potential to get gross pretty quick if there is any type of "boil over".

Thank you for the suggestions. I was trying to avoid plastic but it might be the better option.

I used to do the instant and add hot water from the water cooler. But I like “real” oatmeal better. Plus a lot of the instants have a lot of sodium, which I need to limit. I also use milk instead of water now for added nutritional boost. The diet I try to follow says to have 3 low fat dairy products a day.

I buy paper bowls from Samsclub that I use for microwaving things like that. They are lined so they don't leak. They work really well for me.

Just wanted to add that it is something similar to this at Walmart. Not sure if you have Sams membership but this is very similar to what I use from them.

This is what I do, only the plates are plastic and I'm pretty sure they came from the dollar store. That way your food is still cooking in glass but the plastic plates aren't hot to the touch.

We have some of these bowls as well. I found some on Amazon though it says no lid. But we rarely use the lids.

I have two of these, which work well for bringing soup to work.

Me too! And mine even says SOUP on the side, lol

I always make instant oatmeal but I use milk rather than water so a kettle would not work.

I second these I got them as a set of 3 with lids and use them all the time for leftovers to bring to work. They hold a lot but don’t take up a ton of room in the fridge. The Amazon price seems high as compared to buying at a target or Walmart.
