I have not had this issue happen with LnL, but I have had the issue happen with other plastic storage containers when using in the microwave (usually with some type of food containing oil or grease). I think it happens when foods are heated to a really hot temperature, so maybe watching a bit more closely, microwaving for less time at a lower setting, or stirring freuqnetly may help.

Personally they shouldn't eve say it's microwavable. While I still have a lot of it, any I've used in the microwave were ruined IMO and got tossed.

I never use any plastic including l&l in the microwave.

I love my L&L compared to anything else that I have used. Depending on the power of your microwave and what you are heating it will pit sometimes. I notice that soup or leftovers that have grease/oil will cause this. I just repurpose these containers to the craft room or the garage. They work great for all those little extra parts/bits that are attached to other products. I still feel that I get a good value for my $ from this brand so it works just fine for me.

I believe its the microwave! My husband was putting them in the microwave,and they did not look good.We decided ...no more microwave.Also,I hand wash them.They are no real trouble and I think it makes them hold up longer.I love LocknLock .I don't know what I did without them!
