Answers:
Yes, I love hot fudge!. the directions say: "Take lid off and place in microwave for 1 minute"!. So yes, it is safe, just make sure the lids off and dont let it get too hot!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It is NOT recommended!.

You should scoop the portion that you plan to use into a microwave-safe container and heat it that way!.

Alternately, you can dip the jar into hot water and heat it gradually!.

The risk is that if the contents are heated too quickly it will make the glass break!.!.!.!.!.NOT good!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Most glass jars are not supposed to be microwaved!. There are certain ones (like the CheezeWhiz jars) that are okay to place inthe microwave and they say that on the jar or label!. If the jar doesn't specifically say "microwave safe", then don't risk it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I wouldn't risk it!. Foods high in fat tend to heat up very quickly in the microwave, and you wouldn't want to ruin your yummy fudge with a bunch of glass shards!.

Put it in a pyrex measuring cup, if you have one!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I think it'd be ok but definitely have the lid like slanted so it lets out some of the steam!. I prefer to go in thick plastic whe nI can though!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Yeah it will be fine to microwave a glass jar!.Just make sure you take the lid off first!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Take the lid OFF or it WILL blow UP!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

yeppers just take the lid off or bad things will happen!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
