The white ceramic coffee mug and stein are both dishwasher & microwave save. Absolutely yes... guaranteed!!! Many other personalized cup companies that you see on the web or in the mall, tell you to hand-wash your cup like it was fine china.

The image won't fade or rub off. See similar questions...

What appliances (perhaps more than one at a time) you would choose to make the highest nutritional quality juice (all types -- vegetable, fruit, wheat grass and citrus) if money and space were no object. I am interested in a lifestyle change, and am leaning toward purchasing the Green Life or Green Power juicers. However, I want to know if purchasing separate juicers for vegetables, fruits, citrus and wheat grass would yield more juice or higher quality juice. See similar questions...

At Amy’s Kitchen, we make sure that all the plastic films and coatings used in the packaging of our frozen products are safe to use. The concern about the use of plastic films and coatings in food packaging is based on research showing that some plastics, including PVC, have plasticizers in them that could leak into food at low levels. Because of this, Amy's Kitchen requires that all plastic films and coatings used in the packaging of our frozen products be free of plasticizers. See similar questions...

Yes. You can place Excalibur trays in the top tray of your dishwasher. They can also be cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. The flexible mesh (Polyscreen) sheets help protect the trays from heavy accumulation of residue from the foods you are drying. Those flexible inserts are easy to clean by soaking them for a few minutes in the sink, then rinsing with a quick spray from your sink sprayer. Their flexibility allows them to be placed in most kitchen sinks. See similar questions...

These antennas are usually rectangular or circular in shape and are normally found mounted on a supporting tower, on rooftops, sides of buildings or on similar structures that provide clear and unobstructed line-of- sight paths between both ends of a transmission path or link.

Also the heating time does depend on the power of your microwave. See similar questions...
