Can you place this directly onto the oven shelf or must you place it on top of a cookie sheet?

I've only used them on a cookie sheet, but I would imagine that you could put them directly on the oven grate, though you wouldn't have as much structure as a pan when pulling it out of the oven.

It must be placed on some type of baking sheet, not directly on the oven shelf.

I kept the original container/wrapper so I just went and read it. Yes, you can. Here's what it says: This is made of food grade silicone and is great to bake on also. Withstands temperatures to 450 degrees. I have never used it this way. There is also a web address for the company on the packaging if you need further information: www.atecousa.com I also use a lot of parchment paper in my baking but cut the cost down to nil when I found several restaurant supply companies on line that sell bulk huge sheets of like 500. I can cut 4 sheets out of one to fit large cookie sheets. Even split the order with my daughter and I think we both will be set for life with the quantity we both now have for a real good price! Hope this was all helpful to you.

I placed it under the heating element of my electric oven. In my oven, the heating element sits on little "feet" on the bottom of the oven, and it lifts up on a hinge attached to the back of the oven. So, I trimmed the liner to fit and placed it under the element.

It could be, I actually use mine as a biscuit pan, so it should be fine as a cookie sheet, just use a lower temperature when baking

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.

I placed it directly under heating element.It's about 3/4 inch clearance and no melting or burning to date.I bake items at 450 degrees at least twice a week.Works perfectly.

Probably not any meat which might touch the oven sides or top, so measure twice, cook once! Wide cookie sheets will block the convection. Remember, the turntable wants to turn the food for even heating. Baking potatoes seem to take a lot longer on convection. Nuking them just steams the inside.. very unsatisfactory. Experiment first, company later.

The package instructions say not to put it on the floor of the oven (mine did at least) but I only have two shelves and do not have a heating element on the floor of my oven so I did put it on the bottom. If you have an element/coil down there then that would not work.

It should be used on a baking sheet. Perfect for sticky things as nothing will stick to it. Also good for rolling out dough on your counter.

It's supposed to go on the bottom of the oven. However, it burns onto the floor of the oven. My new oven, just installed this past October, is ruined by it. DO NOT BUY IT.Go to a Bed Bath & Beyond type of store, and have them recommend the right kind of oven liner. This is getting returned to Amazon.

Yes you can! Currently, I have a two-slicer toaster oven on the top shelf. I also store snack like granola bar boxes, chips and cookie bins. This is a great bakers rack!

I would not recommend it, better yet, you should not do it!!! In your oven, the heat from the element under the bottom has to radiate freely upward. The lining would "insulate" it and would probably be destroyed, being heated too much.

You can use any kind of cookware that fits into your oven. Light colored or reflective cookware should be covered with a dark (preferably black) cloth to help them absorb heat. If your cooking vessel is too tall for the shelf, simply take the shelf out. Put a cake cooling rack on the bottom of the oven, then put your pot onto it. It's always best to cover the pot to contain the steam unless, of course, you're baking bread, pies, cakes or cookies. Experiment and enjoy your Sun Oven!

I believe this item is designed to only go in the oven on a baking sheet. I think direct heat on a burner may melt it.

I usually put a cookie sheet on the bottom shelf in the oven when I make homemade bread. It seems to make it cook more even

Sorry, I have not tried that. I usually just put down an oven mitt and place the dish from the oven on the mitt until it have cooled a little. I have formica - like countertops, so I don't like to put a such a hotdish directly on the countertop.

Really? You want to keep it in an oven? Did you mean ON the microwave or stove?
