Is this product "oven-proof"?? I want to cover the top of my Le Creuset with plastic wrap before I cover with aluminum foil to seal in moisture.

No! This is just plastic. The oven would melt it into your food. I also would never use it on top of the stove. Definitely just a microwave product, and to cover things to keep dust off and bad tastes and odors out when stored in the fridge.

you can because it is made out of reynolon. but you have to make sure it is completely covered, it is still plastic and it is not recommended going over 350 for melting purposes. me personally i have not used it at that high of a temp to cook. i wouldnt exactly use the words "oven-proof" it is plastic. temp is a big big part of it.

NO this is plastic food wrap and should never be used in the oven, it will melt.

Carolyn, I suspect I know why you are asking the question. According to my research, this product is made of PTFE, best known as the much debated Teflon. I really don't use my oven very much for baking food that I worry will cause spills; but I like to have this liner available for use when I do. I used to use aluminum foil and keep it in place; but in my oven, it seems to affect how some foods bake. This mat is easy enough to use just when I need it and it has no impact on my oven's performance. Hope this helps.

I have friends who use it in their meat smokers. They wrap the dish with plastic wrap to seal the baking dish then cover that with foil to protect the wrap.

I use tinfoil in the oven and the lid on the stovetop. Since I do not trust "knobs are oven safe up to 400F", I never tried the lid in the oven.

According to the "All-Clad" brochure that came with the pan, it does say "oven and broiler safe." We have only used it on the range top and have not tried/used it in our oven. Good luck!

I have never tried heating the wrap in the oven. You may want to contact the manufacturer. In the meantime, I would advise against placing the wrap in the oven as I suspect the beads on the inside of the wrap are meant to respond the near instantaneous and intense heat of the the microwave.

If this happens on every use, the probe or wire is probably bad. I have never had a problem when using a probe in the oven, but on the BBQ, the probe wire can be subjected to extreme temps. Say during a flare up or right over a burner. What I do now is loosely roll on foil from the beginning of the probe to the point the wire exits the BBQ. About 3 layer wrap seems good so far. The extreme temps inside a BBQ can melt the wire inside the mesh wire cover. It's heat resistant - not heat proof.

i would NEVER put something fully sealed into an oven. it would explode. But these lids would melt before the unit exploded. no, they are not intended to be oven safe. and what kind of grammar is "does the lids oven safe"? "Does the lids be oven safe?" would be terrible, but better.

The lid is plastic and not oven proof. There is no non stick coating in the pan but it cleans like a dream. I have made both lasagna and roasted a prime rib roast in it and I had no problem cleaning the pan. I would highly recommend this pan.

the same thing happened to my pan and I just cover it with aluminum foil then spray that with cooking spray. turns out completely fine PLUS there's no cleaning that way. :)

Hi JMaine,I bought this pot last Christmas and I am getting another this December. They are great!!! Non-stick (without the unnecessary coating) is more like it. If ever something gets stuck in there, don't you worry. It comes off with one swipe of your dish sponge. If you are considering this pot I recommend that you do make that purchase. They are pricy but you won't regret your money.Good luck and enjoy your Le Creuset pot.

I've never had that problem. Did something melt inside the oven (i.e., plastic wrap, plastic container)?

Im not sure. I haven't use it in the oven yet im afraid to because its plastic. Its not a steel pan or aluminium. I was very surprised when I received it. I havent had time to use it at all. im sorry I couldn't help you.

I have not used it in the oven, but the information for Le Creuset cast iron cookware says it's safe to use in the oven. No max temp is given.

My Vollrath set is entirely in stainless steel, including handles so I suppose everything to be oven-proof but I have not tried it.

Unfortunately no. It has a coating on it that the oven temperature could possibly damage. I thought when I purchased it i could but when it arrived I knew it wouldn't hold up in the oven.

I don't about the coating, I personally don't use these in oven. I have stainless steel pans for oven use. Just my opinion. Thanks, Brian
