can these glass containers go in the microwave without the lids?

Yes, just like any container, you can put these in the microwave without a lid, at the risk of splattering. In fact, I avoid putting the containers with lids in the microwave if it's something like tomato-based sauce, because the red sauce will stain the plastic especially around the rubber-like seal (the green part in the pictures). I have had them a couple of months now, and I am really happy with the quality of the bowls. I've lost a couple of the lid do-dads that can slide to open or close the vent hole in the lid, tho, probably due to microwaving or dishwashing them. Hope that helps!
