Yes, but depending on the age of your jar, you may not find the microwave safe symbol. The lids and rings used on Mason jars contain metal, so they cannot go in the microwave. While microwave safe glass is non-reactive, it will pick up heat and can make it dangerous to get hot containers out of your microwave.
