I was told that I need to put this in a cold oven and then preheat the oven. I was told to never put this in a hot oven? I was told that if I put this into a preheated, very hot oven, that it would crack... Has anyone consistently used this by placing...

My oven goes up to 550 degrees..it won't go higher than that..but I haven't had any problems so far putting the stones into it preheated. My stones are usually room temperature when I put them in. I've been using them for several months that way.

I wouldn't. If you like it and its working out for you, wash it by hand. Mine got a small crack so I sent it back. I have seen other reviews about cracking. I didn't like it that much to reorder. Still have found no plates that have really kept food warm for very long.

I rub it down with olive oil and bake it in at a low heat for half hour or more. I also store my pieces in the oven so if room permits, they bake along with what ever else is in the oven. I haven't noticed anything going bad, but I do use mine quiet often so the heat will kill anything.

I use a "peel". I never lift the stome out of the oven when it is hot. Hope this helps.

Sorry I'm answering a bit late, but we have been on vacation. -Just checking email and saw your question. I made a dip that was around 2-3 cups, and there was no liquid at least 2 inches from the top. I started out on the high setting for an hour or two, then I turned it to low. Once my dip was at the right consistency, I put it on warm, and it remained that way for the rest of the evening. I never had a problem with it. I've used many crock pots over the years, and none have ever cracked with no water at the top section. The only time I ever had one to crack was when I accidentally put it on a hot eye on my stove. I had a mess then. :( Sorry I'm answering a bit late, but we have been on vacation. -Just checking email and saw your question.

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.

to Markmurto, have you adapted NuWave recipes to this oven? I have the Oyama arriving tomorrow, since it is non-halgen and supposedly short on recipes and all the cookbooks for this type oven are halogen inspred, I'm thinking I'll be "creatively adapting" all my regular cooking times/temps with this oven. I did not want halogen because of burnt/exploding bulb/burnt socket issues I've read with the halogens. Any answer from you (or others) is appreciated, thank you!

put the stone in a cold oven, why are you preheating to 500 because of your recipe? No need to preheat to anything other than the degrees your recipe is calling for. Just remember to put the stone in a cold oven. Or it will break.

I have the same oven, and the plastic dome cracked, too. This is inevitable over time. I will purchase a replacement oven with a glass bowl instead very soon. I recommend you consider buying a different brand, too.

I put mine in the oven and it held up great. I am usually afraid to, but it withstands up to 350 so I went for it. No problems at all.

Thanks for your quick response. I was reading up on dark baking pans and they said that besides lowering the temperature, which I did but the crust was still thick and dark but not as hard as when I baked it with 350 degree, you should line the pan with parchment paper to get better results. I used one sheet of lining at the bottom of the tin. The next time I use this pan, I will use two sheets of parchment paper and line the entire pan. I will let everyone know how it worked.

We've never put ours in the oven. I turn it on and let the granite stone heat up while I am prepping the food and then it's nice and hot when we're ready to cook! And it gets plenty hot....the temp has never been an issue. We love this grill!

I agree with Riggolette L. Use like any other pizza stone- you want to have the stones in the oven when you turn the oven on. They need to heat up slowly. They may crack if you put a cold stone in an already hot oven. They are darling little pizza stones.

I went back to the cupboard to give this pot a "going over" to see if anything would be wrong with putting it in the oven. I do not see anything that would prohibit oven use, if the oven is large enough. There are no pieces on the pot or lid which should melt at temperature. Handle for the lid is made from tubular(or solid) steel, as is the pot handles. The reinforcing band around the pot at the handle area looks to be steel. I bought mine for cooking pasta and for stocks (on the top burners), and I am very pleased so far. I would not hesitate to try the oven, if needed. There are no plastic or poly parts on the pot that I can see. I went back to the cupboard to give this pot a "going over" to see if anything would be wrong with putting it in the oven.

Not recommended. instructions from manufacturer say product should be kept above 70 degrees, even during storage. product must be heated in a double boiler type setup for 45 minutes or more to be pour-able. I use a torch on the crack after I pour product into crack to help level it out. I think product would be difficult to work with in cold temps.

I peersonally put it in the fridge the day before i want to use it, then when i am ready i put in glass dish set in a bowl of warm water to get to desired temp. Or I have also put glass dish in oven just long enough to thaw and get warm if I have other items already in the oven. Its what works for us. I suggest NOT to microwave due to uneven heating and could burn baby's mouth. I hope this helps. I LOVE this product and have made all of my baby's food using this!

Fortunately, I have some VERY recent info on that rack :) I ruined mine...by I guess overheating it in the broiler or putting it in the dishwasher. Normally, I use the pan for baking/grilling etc and it is super for single or small servings. But, I used it to grill hotdogs and accidentally left it in the oven and next day went to preheat oven and the rack was a mess....as the plastic or whatever coating on it half melted and or came off in places. If you put it in hot oil I think it will ruin it. It is definitely not stainless steel but a metal with a black coating looks like vinyl. Hope this helps.
