Can paper bowls be heated in a microwave?

Can paper bowls be heated in a microwave? Sure, paper bowls are not prohibited for use in microwave ovens.
Microwave ovens are not suitable for:
Avoid using ordinary plastic: Hot food can cause plastic containers to deform, and ordinary plastic can release toxic substances, contaminate food, and harm human health.
Avoid using metal utensils: Because iron, aluminum, stainless steel, enamel and other utensils placed in the oven will generate electric sparks and reflect microwaves when the microwave is heated, which not only damages the oven body but also cannot heat food.
Do not use sealed containers: When heating liquids, wide mouthed containers should be used because the heat generated by heating food inside the sealed container is not easily dissipated, causing excessive pressure inside the container and potentially leading to explosion accidents。
So, we should pay more attention to these issues in our daily lives.
