I got this cheap bowl at a Japanese event and want to know if

Gee anon, maybe it'd help if you took a picture we could vaguely tell the material from. From the picture it looks metal and surely you're not dumb enough to ask THAT question, right?

>>8304546
It's definitely not metal and it's not plastic but it's not ceramic. That's why I posted here to know if anyone could help me read this .

>>8304705
Throw it in the microwave with something in it and watch it, then.

>>8304705
Most likely lacquered wood then.

Mentions a range oven. That's all I can make out.

>>8304546
Don't worry OP, it's made in Japan.
Japanese are experts in absorbing radiation.

I'll keep waiting.

Thanks for trying :)

Well I just lol'd all over my sushi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene

-20 to +80 is the exact temp range that wikipedia says ABS is suited for, so this is almost certainly what it's made of.

As for microwave safety, google says maybe. I'd assume no.

Wow awesome.
Good thinking man. Master researcher.
Is there anything more I should know for searching on Google beyond putting things in quotes?
Is there like a link that has all Google shortcuts or whatever it's called?

Probably. Try googling it.

Confirms that ABS is not microwave safe, but is dishwasher safe.

This is what I found, I knew some of these but didn't know others.

Heh thanks for the good and obvious advice.

電子レンジ = microwave
オーブン = oven
食器洗浄機 = dishwasher
IH = induction heating
直火 = direct heat
たわし = scrubbing brush
使用はお避け下さい = please do not use

I speak japanese and that says RAT POISON DO NOT EAT

>>8305001
Thanks. Am I helping you work on your Japanese?
I mean words by itself don't mean much and since I already had an idea of that kind of thing. It's the words that describe those that I need.

>>8304808
It can be safe, but with microwave, there is no garantue where the heat will go.
If it goes to the bottom, water will boil, and the boiling will melt the ABS.
