I would never use any plastic wrap in any kind of oven, be it a microwave or regular oven. Have no idea if it is BPA free. That is not stated on the box. I have used this product for years and love it.

i don't see anything about an oven. it does say it can be used in the microwave. directions for microwave says to make sure your dish is microwave safe. then allow one inch between food and plastic wrap. always turn back one corner to vent. allow steam to escape before lifting plastic wrap.

Honestly I have never tried that, but I wouldn't think so. After all, it is plastic.

If BPA is the problem, then Stretch-Tite can be used, as it contains no BPA. It's not on the box, but on their website. So just follow the directions for the two inch space and the proper container and you should be OK. That's because it will melt if it gets that hot!

The product box does not mention BPA. It does give microwave directions. I don't use it in the microwave, I use wax paper. Look at stretchtite.com

From the company's Q&A;'s:Do your products contain bisphenol A (BPA)?No. Stretch-Tite®, Freeze-Tite® and our other food contact products do not contain bisphenol A (BPA).

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.

There is no indication the this wrap is BPA free nor that it can be placed in a "warm" setting in the oven. It is not as thick as freezer wrap. The wrap is easy to handle though, tears well, and is easy to use.

I tried putting a pot of boiling water on it and that didn't seem to do it any harm. Silicone can be quite heat tolerant but I'm not sure if this particular item would stand up to oven temperatures.

Sorry, I don't know. I think BPA might be released in heated conditions. Since this product is kept in the refrigerator, BPA may not be an issue.

YES! After only 2 months of use. Never used above 425 in my toaster oven and always hand washed. NOT SAFE once it degrades due to fiberglass.

I've only used mine in the oven to keep stuff warm. But ... silicone bakeware (like a loaf pan I use all the time) is suppose to be good up to at least 400 deg. if not more. Can't imagine that this one would be any different. Product description says 460 degrees.

I would doubt that you could use this in an oven the some is plastic so I believe it would melt

If your oven temperature exceeds 375 degrees for more than 30 minutes the possibility of melting increases. I've done it and it is now partially stuck to my stove. Not sure why it isn't designed to withstand what could be considered an average oven temperature. Plastic will only withstand so much heat so it may be wise to see if there are non plastic ones availabie. So, yes, it will melt.

I haven't tried it. However, since you have two liners it probably wouldn't hurt to try one at a moderate temp. in your oven. I LOVE this little oven. Mary Lou

Yes, if you read through the reviews, the inside of the removable crock is not bpa free and mine has started to bubble and flake off, I have been using the Reynolds Slow Cooker bags in the pan which seem to work great, however, I DO NOT recomment purchasing this slowcooker.Answer here...

No, I'm 90% sure that it isn't...90% because I didn't actually try but it doesn't say oven safe anywhere and the material looks like it'd melt very easily!:)

I would assume it is safe to use at that high of a temperature. Just make certain you remove the plastic lid as that is NOT oven safe.

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 use it for regular kitchen use if you are inserting the probe, taking the temperature and removing it. But you shouldn't leave it in a hot place like an oven while the food is baking. The body is made of plastic and I think it would melt. I use it to take the temperature of foods I'm cooking on the stove top and oven all the time. It is quick reacting and will usually show the temperature within 10-20 seconds.

I can't say for sure about the temperature, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be okay to use in the oven. I haven't done that, though.

I have never tried setting it in the oven, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be as long as you have the oven hot if the insert is hot. I have read elsewhere that the insert can crack if you suddenly change the temperature.

Hello, This item can not be used in the oven. It has a plastic housing. thank you!

I've never used it in the oven. I would think that you would want to take the blue handle cover off first though - it's made of rubber.
