Microwave & Dishwasher safe misleading

The picture is what I have cut off the box that the plates were shipped in. I adhere these to the inside of my cupboard door in case someone wants to know if microwave or dishwasher safe. As you can see from what I cut from the box these plates can only be microwavable at a maximum of 120C (248F) for 5 minutes. Majority of the people I know use 100% power level most of the time & based on a microwave with 650-800 watts of power that would be 500F in your oven, broil temperature. So the 248F they talk about would be equivalent to power level 3 (30%) -4 (40%) which would be 225 - 300 degrees, based on a microwave with 650-800 watts of power. What I would like to know is why they don't state the power level? One would think that stating the degrees would be for the oven but on the box it states [Oven] Not for use in oven.Only top rack dishwasher safe here in this house, so these plates aren't completely dishwasher safe. They do suggest that you clean with a soft cloth or sponge.Other that that these plates are pretty nice just wish they had a little bit thinner & deeper edge for us gravy eaters. The thick edge isn't something I go for cause I don't like my food to drain while resting on the edge, I like it setting in the juice or sauce (BBQ ribs, cole slaw, baked beans); yum! I seen the 8" deep edge plate but that looked way to deep, want to be able to cut my items next to the edge & not cut the plate edge.

Pros
  • Strong yet lightweight material allows for easy handling and serving
Cons
  • May have a limited lifespan in terms of use
