can I put the cooling rack in a hot oven to roast vegetables (400 degrees)?

Yes I used the rack for chicken in the oven and worked fine. The only complaint is it is hard to clean spray with cooking spray, it helps. Otherwise best pan and rack set I have owned.

I did..The rack worked great...Use foil in the bottom of the pan it makes for easier clean up ..and beware of washing it in the dishwasher because over time washing it in the dishwasher causes it to rust

Most ovens only go to 500-550 degrees. That is a broiling temperature. Transfer your food to a broiler pan for that temp.

Absolutely 35 degrees is nothing....Think of it like this...the heat needs to collect under the dome of the oven to reach a good cooking temperature. The only thing that would disrupt this would be gusty winds so just keep it out of the wind....Oh lord my sister just chimed in she said " it's like blowing on a hot muffin of course its going to cool off" ...Also as hot as this oven can get I don't think you'll have any problem even with a little wind.

They are oven safe but probably to less than 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C

That would be a good question for the manufacturer. I would not hesitate to put it in the oven at 450 but most recipes do call for lower temps. This the type bakeware my mother used for everything and why I purchased it rather han spending a hundred dollars on other types. Be aware though that it does not come with a rack for the bottom.

Yes I would think so. Watch your temperature and it cooks lots faster than an oven. You'll burn one or two but you'll learn how soon enough. Spray grill with veg spray.

I bought mine to cool cakes and cookies. It has never occurred to me to put this type of rack in the oven. Can't help there.

Yes, I went to the official website and the roaster and lid can be used up to 425 degrees. Clean up is a breeze.

I am not sure why but it appears that the cooling rack can be used up to 350 degrees. As to the broiler, perhaps it is because of the aluminum. I have not used this one under the broiler not even my neighbor. If it requires 450 what are you making, I will suggest using another pan such as Farberware or Good Cook which are inexpensive and work fine even under the broiler.

I'm sure you could. I haven't used one thus far, but I'm sure you could use whatever you would in an oven. I take out the top shelf when I'm baking - otherwise things to cook too fast. I also set the temp 25 degrees less than recipe calls for.

I don't think it gets past 400 degrees. I bent the element to fit a brinkmann electric grill and with a little modification it works for me.

Hi Chris. I bought this roaster and really love it instead of using the oven. Plus, roasts don't get dried out. The maximum temperature is 450. But 350 seems like it cooks hotter than an oven's 350 degrees.

I don't see why you couldn't. The exterior does get hot, which is relative to how high the temp is inside the oven.

Yes, I have browned chicken on the cooktop and then put it in a 350 oven to finish. Not sure if I would use a temp higher than 400, but general roasting is fine.

I don't think it would fit. You'd need to use a pizza pan or stone and there just doesn't seem to be room. You also want to bake pizza at 400 to 425 and mine has never gotten that hot. If you used small oven baking stones, you could probably bake the individual-sized pizzas on those but the crust might bake the way you want. Sounds like a good experiment project.

I would assume so. I use mine in the oven for scalloped potatoes at 420 degrees.

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!
