Which Mugs are Microwave Safe?

Most of the ceramic mugs are microwave safe if they don’t have any metal gilding. Moreover, to test if your mug is microwave safe, fill it with water and heat it in the microwave for 30 seconds. If the water is hotter than the mug, then the mug is safe to use in the microwave. But if the mug is hotter than the water, then it’s not microwave safe.
