I never had a problem cooking after baking with it. No smell, no funky taste on the food. I was cautious at first but it all came out fine.

I'm unfamiliar with what works in an easy bake oven. I bought it for playdoh play. It's a great set. I'm just uncertain about using it with easy bake !

I am not an expert on different cookware materials. At this point I use mostly clay, or cast iron, and enameled cast iron. I like the kinds of materials that hold and distribute heat most consistently. I do know that clay has been used as cookware material for centuries (I think it may have been the first practical cookware ever used). I do not think there are any issues in regard to safety, toxicity, or nutrition. I just love the way clay "treats" food either in a cooker, on the stove or in the oven.

I don't know. I'm just a beginner I got it because it is low fire clay . You might want to look at the company's website for all safe uses.

I believe I saw something on the box or directions inside the box that say not to use on stove or oven. It's frustrating, as two or three of the pieces look like you can cook with them. I sent a message to Step2, but did not get an answer. Sorry.

I see no reason not to try it in ovens... It can't be too harmful, as it has been used to clean up birds coated in oil from oil spills. I don't know whether it would clean ovens as well as "oven cleaners" though.

No, I'm 90% sure that it isn't...90% because I didn't actually try but it doesn't say oven safe anywhere and the material looks like it'd melt very easily!:)

I've never used this particular piece in the oven but I also have the skillets and have used them stove top and oven. I have had the temp up to 450. Sorry I can't be of more help. I will say that these are wonderful pans that do live up to their non-stick, easy to clean claim

I've used my oven about a dozen times and have not had to clean it so far. One of the first things I baked was chicken with mushroom soup and sour cream. I've had my oven for about 3 mouths and have used it mostly for baking biscuits. The only negative I have found is that it does not have a light so that you can tell if your are over baking in it. Other than that I really like this oven as it is very nice looking and does do a good job on what I have used it for.

You should not soak or wash any unglazed clay item in cleaning chemicals or soaps, since they can be absorbed into the porous clay and released in cooking. I soak and wash mine in baking soda and lemon juice. Make sure clay is thoroughly dry before storing to avoid mold or bacteria. Avoid extreme temperature changes: increase heat gradually, do not put frozen contents into hot oven. I recommend Mediterranean Clay Pot Cooking for hints and recipes.

I doubt it. It warps, changes color, stinks, and thins out when used on a baking sheet under the max temperature per package directions. I would try a different brand. I would worry that it would damage the bottom of the oven, or bake itself onto it, or something else dangerous.

I'm sorry I didn't bake the mold and I didn't use it with polymer clay too. I just use with fondant and its doing great

That's a good question. I wondered about fillings but I believe it's trace metals in the body it pulls out and if made using metal utensils or metal bowl, it renders the clay useless as a detoxer. Just speculation but I use this in a toothpaste recipe and on my face and would highly recommend.

There is no indication on any literature as to whether it can or can not be used for baking. I called the company and the woman said it is not for baking. I suggested there be some information on either the item or the website if that is the case. It's non-stick covered metal, I don't see why it shouldn't be OK. (some users have commented below that it worked fine in the oven). Although I wouldn't take it past 425 degrees with a teflon-type surface.

There are new non stick coatings out that you can use medel utinsils, and go into the dishwasher. Those do not throw off toxins..You might want to look into those breadmakers!Its really isn't toxic unless the taflon seal is , cut, scraped off, so to speak, ..If you do not use high heat with taflon there is not a problem, but before using it, always heat itup for awhile with water in it, and wash it out again, then use it..We are all going to die of something, and I doubt at this point if its going to be teflon!

I do not believe this is made of the type of plastic that can withstand oven temperatures. And since using unsuitable plastics in the oven can cause toxic fumes, I would caution you not to try it. Besides, you would ruin your bowl.
