can this be used for an oven? I was wondering if it might melt from the heat...

I'm sure it will, If your oven is that hot on the outside GET RID OF IT NOW !!!!!!!!

I have mine on cabinets. They attach via adhesive, so I would imagine that the adhesive would soften and fail from the heat, always depending on how hot your oven door gets, of course. I currently have a wall oven, so that's not an issue yet and quite frankly I don't know how hot the door gets. The latches themselves are fairly good quality, so if your oven surface only reaches moderate temperatures, you might try it. I've been very impressed with the quality of the adhesive as well--it has held VERY firmly!

Old oven doors heat up with the oven is on. New oven doors do not do that - they are cool to the touch when the oven is on. If you have an older oven, and when the oven is on the door is hot, then these will not work for your oven. If you have a newer oven where the door stays cool even at broiling - then they should work. Just turn on your oven to 450 or so, leave the oven on for a bit, and test the door by putting your hand on the door. If it is hot, this won't work for you.

We use it on our oven and haven't had any problems for the several weeks its been there. Perhaps it could affect the adhesive over time. Also, we do not use our oven daily or even every other day.

The packaging mentions Ovens, but instruction sheet says "not suitable for surface area exceeding 60C/140F degrees". See if you can find a suitable area of your oven and door that suits, depending on what temperature you are using. Otherwise, self-cleaning ovens have a lever that locks the oven during self-cleaning; the lever is big and hard to move, so it might deter a very young child.

Yes you can only if you are looking to HOLD so your child will not open the door. If you are cooking the sticker might come over due to the heat. Keep in might the grey pieces come off. This is a great product my 2 year old can not open the anything when i place this. I love it!

We have these installed on the outside of our oven and they work just great. It's a modern oven, so it never gets too hot to touch on the outside, but does get warm as you'd expect.

We have a 1 year old Amana oven that does get very hot on the outside. Getting rid of an oven because it gets hotter than you'd like sounds like a luxury not many can afford. To answer your question, yes these latches hold up on the outside of a hot oven. I cook almost every day with the oven set on anything from 250 to 550. The adhesive on both ends has shown no sign of coming loose after 2 months of daily oven use.

I use it in my Frigidaire gas oven - don't place it directly on the bottom floor of the oven, it's designed to be placed on the bottom rack. Placing it on the bottom floor may melt it.

I use it in my gas oven. Just don't set it directly on an exposed flame - unlikely to happen inside any oven.

I havent used mine in the oven yet, so i am not able to advise. As per the specs, the handle is heat resistant Bakelight, so it should be able to withstand heat . I would advise emailing the manufacturer's customer service Dept directly. They should be able to assist.

yes, I used it for my oven which is electric with no elements showing. It is very flimsy and when I used it at medium heat, marks from the heat showed when I took it out. Thus I never used it a second time. I bought a better one at Bed, Bath and Beyond.

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

No. It would melt. Only use it for covering things that are heated up in the microwave.

I've never used it in an oven but it is stainless which would work in an oven. Safe, it'll be hot and the chromium in the steel could show signs of blueing.

It can be used in an oven with no issues. It could not be used on a stove directly.
1946750
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.

I have used it in my oven. It fits perfectly into a half sheet pan. Just make sure you dey it well after washing. It will rust.

They asked if you can use it IN a gas stove. Yes you can there is no plastic on it so nothing to melt. It is a very heavy pot when full so make sure your oven racks are up to the task.

I have put it into my oven, on low heat to keep contents warm. It worked well for that, I haven't used it at medium or high heat temps yet. I think it would be fine even on medium heat but I wouldn't use it in a hot oven. Hope this helps. It's a great piece, I love it!

The real answer is I don't know. The construction of the pan is very good. It is heavy and solidly built. I assume your wood fired oven has a stone of some sort. I can't think of a reason that it wouldn't be alright in that situation. If you were placing it directly on coals or if it was exposed to open flames it might be an issue. I use it at 550°F in a regular oven without issue. I suppose it is possible that it might warp or the coating might be damaged at high enough temperatures. Long way of saying, I don't know.

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.

I wouldnt. It will take the heat...but it is not designed to work this way as far as I can tell...it would work in the oven ok...works GREAT on the BBQ

No, it is most suitable for covering the food left in the pan afterwards not for the oven, it will melt.
