What are the properties of the lid? I have this, and the green edge feels like silicone, but the see-through part feels more like plastic. Does this go in the oven, or will it melt?

i have no doubt the lid is NOT oven proof. I don't even put the lids of any of my Anchor Hocking dishes into the dishwasher than often, because with some of the longer, heat dry cycles, the lids get slightly warped. But that's just me. I apologize, Nancy, that this is not an authoritative answer, which is what you require.

I would not put this lid in the oven. Even if the silicone could handle it, the plastic center would be ruined.

I've never use the lid in the oven. But it does look like it could work in the oven would not melt

I wouldnt put it in my oven. the handle is metal and the rim around the glass is also. I havent tried to put it in the oven myself but I wouldnt try it either.

Liner is like paper thin. I put my liner on the bottom of the oven which has the element beneath the pan so you cannot see it. I'm planning to just use my cookie sheet instead. We made a claim to the company, but they said they couldn't do anything about it. Please do not take a chance for the price. We think using a cookie sheet is a great idea; you wash it just once in a while.

The lid is plastic and not oven proof. There is no non stick coating in the pan but it cleans like a dream. I have made both lasagna and roasted a prime rib roast in it and I had no problem cleaning the pan. I would highly recommend this pan.

It's not plastic, it's silicone, and heat-safe up to 650 degrees (like most silicone products). It'd be SAFE enough, but I suspect you could find a better product for that purpose.

It's plastic... But mine doesn't show any signs of melting. I won't claim to be the most thorough though. So it might melt if you clean too long.

The colored part where the food goes is silicone, the clear lid that does not come in contact with the food is plastic. The silicone makes it really easy to get the food out. I am very happy with this product and plan on buying more.

I used mine in the oven, and the plastic started melting. and smelling I don't recommend it for oven. Inspite of the melt, it still works in the BBQ. It would probably be ok if you didn't leave it there, just insert and remove. But be careful.

I recently placed the entire pan in my 350º F oven with the blue silicone handle on it and it had no problem at all. The handle definitely heated up but it did not melt. I imagine the silicone is similar to that used in baking mats such as the Silpat brand which withstand high oven temps.

I second Sylwia's post. The lid may not be BPA free. That typed, the stuff they use to replace BPA is just as bad as BPA, so if it's a concern for you, I'd recommend going with something that is stainless steel all the way.

Glass is BPA free. Even if the plastic lid is BPA free doesn't mean it's safe. They replace the BPA with another chemical. And I'm pretty sure it isn't safe either. this is what i found about siliconeIf plastic can't be avoided altogether, the safest type (meaning the most stable, slowest to degrade and leech chemicals into your water, food, etc.) is silicone.There is a lot of debate on silicone leaching chemicals. I did read some where that it's least likely in silicone that isn't heated up. As in the ones you cook with.So glass, 100% natural rubber and metal are the best I've read Glass is BPA free.

Yes, it is heat proof up to 450 degrees, you can even put it directly in your oven. I also have one by the company, Silikomart, and I prefer that brand. The Silikomart UFO lids get a better suction and are composed of higher quality (pure) silicone.

It's nylon, so you should be able to heat it up with a lighter & the end will melt. Careful not to let it burn. Have an oven MIT ready to pinch end tight to seal

I'm sorry to just now answering this question, but I am happy to give my opinion. I did not buy this lid to use in the oven. I only use my Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven lids in the oven. I use this lid to cover things I am cooking on top of the stove so I can see thru the lid. However, if I were planning to use it in the oven I would not exceed the suggested temperature which I believe is 400. I would like to add that I have several tempered glass lids and this one by Lodge is far better than any of the others. The one by Lodge is designed where it DOES NOT hold water so it is not necessary to unscrew the lid and drain the water when washing it. Now that's my kind of lid and I USE IT OFTEN!

It looks and feels like plastic to me, but i have not run any material tests on it to know for certain. It has a clear plastic lid and is shrink wrapped if i recall correctly.

The booklet it came with states that the glass lid is heat resistant up to 180 degrees Celsius. "The thermometer has no function in the oven as it only displays up to 100 degrees Celsius." So, I guess the lid is ok but you should take the thermometer out, which makes sense to me, but I'm not in the habit of putting glass in the oven, so I don't do it.

It is made of silicone. From the Frego website: "The see through lid, made from our proprietary easy clean silicone is dishwasher safe."
