Can it double as a nacho tray, that is, can I put it in the oven under the broiler to melt cheese and heat up the salsa? or will that damage it?

Yes, it can go into the oven. Making nachos on it is actually a great idea, as the ridges would allow hot air to get under the chips and keep them crispy! Will try that one tomorrow!

You should be able to. They are 3 individual metal trays. But the top cover is plastic so I wouldn't put that in the oven! We made everything ahead of time in pots/pans & then transferred to the trays after.

it doesnt have a top/lid, so i will not be a substitute for an oven. reheat a slice or two? probably ok. get a green egg, then you can really cook a pizza. this is a grill, nothing more, but for its intended purpose, performs admirably.

I really don't know. I guess it would depend on the temperature that the nacho cheese sauce melts at. The problem that I could see happening is when it cools down in the pump it having a hard time reheating to clear the pump tube out. I know the butter/sauce does not take much heat to go back to liquid. I have cooked my whole life but I think I would give it a 50/50 chance. If it didn't warm it up you could probably wsh it out in hot water and only use it when the cheese is liquid. It is probably better to look for one that is made for the cheese sauce. I hope that helps.

I would place it directly on the oven rack, but never directly on a burner. Pyrex makes great baking dish, you should be very pleased with its performance.

Yes, you can. I have not yet tested it myself, but the instructions on the box say that it may be used in an oven or under the broiler up to 500°F.

The bowl came with the advice that it is not to be used in the oven. With that logic I would think broiling would not advisable either.

Hi Juan, yes but do not put it under the broiler or on top of the stove - it will crack - otherwise its safe to bake.

it's for the microwave (that's what I got it for to begin with). No way can it go in an oven! It has no problem in the dishwasher top rack.

Yes! You just stick it to the oven door above. I was a little worried it would get too hot and melt it but so far so good :)

Yes, you can. In fact, the last get-together we had, that's what we cooked. The frozen kind from Costco seem to work best, as they are compact, mostly unbroken, and stay together nicely until you pop those tasty little morsels in your mouth.I have found that this well designed machine works far better at cooking and keeping Brats, Sausage, Dogs, Taquitos, Corn Dogs, and Egg Rolls than any conventional oven can do.I thoroughly recommend! 5 Stars!JGLDFW TX

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.

Hi, I put it in the oven all the time, including on broil. These pans are great for frittatas, you cook on the stove top then put them in the over to broil the top. Hope this helps.

We haven't used ours to much as we just purchased it, and it is in our vacation home. I think your question might be answered by checking the specs on the info page. It does work very well, and looks great. It would not be suitable for broiling a whole chicken...maybe a half on it's side. I've never baked a cake in any oven! :)

If you are asking if you can put "trays" into the 40GC Oven, this would not be recommended. Trays act as a deflection surface, changing the performance of the oven dramatically. A better fit would be an "AF" model, as it has a fan that circulates warm air around the items, but even that oven should not be overloaded with tray-like objects

You could put ice under it, but the tray wouldn't fit in the glass bottom. I suppose you could freeze the bottom and then use it outdoors, but don't count on it keeping the food cold for very long. I really like this, but it isn't made for putting anything under it.

I'm not sure yet...I hadn't thought about it, but I was planning on putting it in the oven because it is metal. It works great for keeping your tacos from falling over when you make them! Thanks for the tip Billie about the oil and the 425 degrees info.
