I have no china in my house except for the 3 oval Cincinnati Chili plates the former owner left for me, I only have Target Swell Brand Melamine.But after years in the dishwasher its starting to chip.
I remember when Melamine first came out and they said it was okay in the microwave, but since its an organic natural protein, it starts to heat up and can burn people, so I try not to put mine in the nuker.
