Never have, but I've never had a reason for dipping.

I melt shortening in the microwave all the time and have for years and years and years. It never occured to me NOT to. Did someone tell you it was dangerous or would explode or something?

Well, yeah .... if you drop it on open flame or if it gets on your red hot stove burner. But it melts in a microwave just like butter does. Both are fat products ... both work the same way as far as melting and flammability.
