I am not an expert but these are a special plastic blend similar to the frozen dinners containers at your local supermarket. I don't think it would be a good idea. They work in the microwave but I would never place in a regular oven at any temperature. FYI We like them except the lids are difficult to remove.

I would not. These are sterile when you first open them. There is no way to sterilize them after that.

Not sure. You would have to cook them longer. They may char on the outside before heating through.

sorry.. I don't really know.. i was them all the time in the diswasher and my wife warms them in a baby food jar warmer that "boils" / "steams" water over the bottle and never had a problem. the top are DEFINITELY NOT heat resistant though.. do not dishwash or microwave them.

Not sure about heat breaking these down, but I suspect they would be fine. I am quite sure you can refrigerate them, the main thing is to keep out moisture or they will get sticky and bloated as they crave moisture.

Yes, they sure are. I put them in the top rack of the dishwasher and they are fine. I only microwave mine for a few seconds to reheat something small. I'm not sure you could heat them for several minutes. Also, I don't heat them with the lids on tightly.

I don't know if they can be used in the oven but I don't see why they couldn't if you just want to keep something heated.

I don't see why not, though they may get quite warm. Also, to avoid a mess and possibly leave brown or greasy marks on the tray, I would suggest using baking parchment under the hors d'oeuvres.

We do not use them in the microwave and wash them by hand (more just to keep them looking nice). They are a heavy plastic and I wouldn't hesitate to put hot liquid in them but probably not boiling liquid. If we need to melt butter for the recipe, we use a separate bowl and then add it. Hope that helps.

You might be able to, but I have never tried. They just "feel" more like platters than baking pans. You could possibly use them to warm things in the oven or toaster oven I suppose. We love them - perfect for sending foods out to the grill and back on a separate platter, then putting them in the dishwasher.

No, they're not strong enough for boiling water (which would heat them too hot to be safe for use anyway) and would melt in a conventional oven. Try microwaving in 30 second intervals until they're as warm as you want them.

I don't see why you couldn't, but they are huge (you can put large chunks of animal in them). You would probably still want to heat seal for long term storage to avoid possible freezer burn.

I don't know. If you are using them for refrigerated items, or dried,, like herbs, flavored salts, etc.that would be fine. But I don't think you can can (sterlize) with plastic lids.

I wouldn't microwave them, just to be overly safe because they are plastic. But they are small and would defrost quickly in a bowl of hot water.

I have used them in the freezer to store red chili sauce I make with no problem but they are not pyrex and I broke one in the microwave once. So freezer is ok but not for use in the oven or microwave, in my experience.

Wish I could help you, but I won't be back at my home for another month. I really wasn't worried about that because I remembered that it states that they can't be put in the microwave. I never intended them for anything but salads (and maybe something like a cold appetizer).
