I want to use these paints to paint on glass then bake in a low temp oven say 275 for 25-30 min. Can I use it. Do I need to use a medium too? Ty

Since the manufacturer does list that the paints can be heated in an oven at low temperature I would assume that it is not a good idea.

I think it depends on your geographical location. I watched a Santa Fe artist do a demo once, and he related how the dry climate in NM meant a hard-paint palette. You get used to paint acting a certain way, and to the amount of water to use as you go along. He said he was startled when in San Francisco Bay Area, having pre-filled his Watercolor pans with tube paint, he'd closed up the pallette in a hurry without waiting for the paints to dry out before leaving for California (and used to dry climate drying them really fast in his normal day-to-day). He said he plunged his wet brush into what he thought would be the dried colors he was used to, and smooshed WET paint everywhere, then realized why that had happened. Being a Bay Area person, I'm wondering if putting the filled pans in a warmed/turned-off oven overnight would help them dry properly. My preference in a travel palette is for dried paint. Not sure how the plastic pans would react to a warm oven (that is, BARELY warm; heat to 250' and turn it off, place the filled pans on a cookie sheet and let the dry heat do its thing til morning, when they will have cooled off. Probably your warmest window would do the same thing, but take longer. Plus Mom will kill you if you get wet paint on the curtains. (!)

I haven't personally tried it (my cabinets are COLD and I take out dishes/plates, whatever beforehand to get to room temp.) - I wouldn't think it would be a problem - I did hear about issues w/the new Pyrex exploding when put on cold surfaces, etc. - I bought these as replacements when the set I had got broken when my shelf that they were on fell :( - they are a little purple/lilac tint, not completely clear. Wish I could help more (personally, I have some old timey mixing bowls from back in the day that were used to such temp. differences)

I have used glass to cook in it. Usually brownies and baking at normal temps like 325-350. Brownies turn out great!!!

Follow the mfgr instructions.....apply a light coating of oil after each use. No need to re-season in the oven.

You really need to follow the instructions, preheat pan on medium and use little oil and food shouldn't stick. Hope this is helpful.

Hey Eileen- I'm not sure exactly which aspect of 'safe' you're looking for but i baked a plate that i had drawn on with an oil based sharpie- the only issue i had was that the deaign came out kind of speckled but since it was uniform throughout the design it was kinda cool, i haven't tried it again to see if it was a fluke or not- i've read that using the oil sharpies then baking makes the plates food & dishwasher safe- i don't know how true that is, but i've read it several places. I found your question because i'm making wine glasses tomorrow- some places say bake them & one said the heat will cause it to break-- i guess i'll find out tomorrow!! I hope this helped!

Heating the pans slowly on medium or low is time consuming. Ie: 30 minutes to get a pot of water to boil. Heating on medium high has resulted in very small chips in the interior ceramic coating. You get what you pay for.

- Bake at 275*F (130*C), 15 minutes per 1/4in (6mm) I've also baked sculptures in iterations; completing a small portion, then baking for a shorter time at a lower temp to harden it just enough so I don't accidentally scratch or mush it. Soft sculpey will still bond to baked sculpey, so you can experiment with this for a "build-up" approach to sculpting, and many other uses. Something to keep in mind before baking: Anything thicker than 1/2in (12mm) should be bulked out with foil and/or armature wire, or the interior may not bake through. Personally, I have never had an issue with thicker pieces. Tiny little details are another issue though. I do a lot of mini-sculpts (10" figures), and I have burned many small noses, fingers, ears, hair, pointy bits, and more. I started adding tiny bits after I'd baked the bulkier mass to help prevent this from happening, and it works fine. - What kind of paint? I've always used acrylic or gouache paint on sculpey, and it works great.

You'd have to check the can to see if its certified for food use, which it likely isnt. Otherwise if your referring to cast iron pans, just season them with fats/oils in the oven. Google seasoning pans / pots. It would probably work with other types too. This would be more food safe. Also the first time you heat, the paint will "cure".

I absolutely love these pans. I honestly never used them in the oven, but I don't see why not. I dont think 500 is a good temp to use, but moderate should be ok-350 to say 400. Any temp under 350 should be fine.

Can this paint be cured w/ a blowtorch for items that can't be stuck in an oven? And is this paint safe to use on indoor items (e.g. are there any toxic odors emitted when heated?)? Thx in advance for any/all answers!

Put in conventional oven until they turn blue and let them cool off before you place them in the container again. If you leave them out to long, the blue will fade and you have to do it overagain. That happen to me once and I had to redo it the next day.

I don't own one of these, but have owned silicone bakeware in the past, and have had mixed results with it. Silicone is a good insulator of heat, and so you'll likely need to increase the recipe temperature slightly (if it's still in the tolerable range of the material, which I believe is 450 for silicone bakeware, but don't quote me on that.) When you bake with it, like any silicone item, you'll want to place it on a cookie sheet, and use plenty of Baker's Joy or Pam with flour, or grease and flour, as this is NOT non stick by any means. Hope this helps!

If you put it on high (like 5 or 6) they'll be hot and browning in about 15 minutes...then you'll want to put it on low (like maybe 2) to keep them hot. Just got done with an event an hour ago, and it worked great!

If you have a gas stove, do not use the "high" setting. Medium is the proper setting. The "high" setting will absolutely discolor the pan.

This sort of clay body should be fired to cone 06 (bisque) before glazing or painting. When you say oven I suspect you do not mean kiln. Conventional ovens will not get to adequate temperatures to fire this clay. If you simply want to dry it and accept that it will remain forever incredibly fragile and water soluble then I would just slowly air dry it. Rapid drying in the oven or in the sun will dry it unevenly and cause cracks. Let it dry with a sheet of plastic loosely over it. A better solution would be to put it in a kiln and fire it up to 06 or 04 (1830-1940 degrees F). Then seal before painting. Good luck!
