Why do people keep asking if these are oven safe? They are cooling racks. ??? Their intended purpose is to sit on the counter and cool off hot foods.

Probably they are asking that because l have seen very same racks sold with turkey roaster. People put whole chicken/turkey on top of these rack which is placed in the pan and then put in oven.

Because if you buy a half sheet, "frequently bought together" shows silicone liners and these darned racks - misleading if you ask me: sure, if you read everything about them you will discover that they are not to go in the oven, but a frequent use of a half sheet is to put both a silicone liner and a rack in it to roast something in the oven. Now I have two cooling racks I didn't much want and need to buy racks for baking.

Also great for crispy Buffalo chicken wings--if the rack is oven-proof. Alton Brown's wings recipe uses a rack in the oven rather than the more traditional deep-fryer.

These come up in the search results when you search for "baking rack"... luckily I read the questions people had because I almost bought them because of the good price!

I'm still giggling about your post. Thanks. :) I wondered the same thing you did.

Because we would like a broiler rack and cooling rack in one, to save space.

They are described as chrome plated not painted, leading one to believe that they should be oven safe.

You keep food warm but these are not like a Dutch Oven. I wouldn't try to bake something in them. Stove top is obviously great but not in the oven at high temps.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

If you're asking if these are oven-safe, then the answer is: I think so. I've gone from having it on the stove and transferring it to the oven to finish what I was cooking.

Hello Shelly, I am glad to answer your question...these little canning jars are so handy in my kitchen/home! Even though they are meant for canning and can withstand a fairly high temperature, I would not put them into the oven. I use them for keeping small amounts of cooking ingredients that I use often and do not wish to handle the large containers which these ingredients are originally packaged. Also, I have given a few to friends who saw them and admired their "just the right size" feature for lots of things throughout the home. I plan to order more in the near future.

I am using mine as 'drawers' for a tall set of deep shelves in my apartment kitchen. They are each filled with 'stuff' and have never seen the oven yet! But I can see no reason why they would not work well in my stove if I chose to use them for their 'standard' purpose.

It is my understanding that they are not fully heat resistant. That is why I originally ordered them. If you are looking for hot pads, these are not them. Rather, they are mats to set things on with a small measure of heat reisistance.

The top of the oven is meant to be a plate-warmer, so not super well insulated. It gets hot. You're supposed to allow clearance around the oven (for the sake of it's electronics and ability to dump heat, the heat has to go somewhere, and this is true of all electronics. The sides or underneath do not get too hot.If you asking if it holds temperature well, it does that better than just about any countertop oven I've ever seen. You can cook pies or roast a chicken in it, perfectly. And it's fine on any counter or under a cabinet.

NO! These are not rated or tested for baking/broiling use. The pan can warp, and the coating can be damaged when heated. It is called a cooling rack for a reason. If you want to bake or broil, buy a pan made specifically for that use.

They are mini. But, this appliance is DANGEROUS.... I would NOT buy it. I bought and returned -- way too hot!

I don't know, but my guess would be no. They might be too close to the elements. The package says safe in oven to 500 degrees F/260 C. Contact Pantry Elements.

Not a good idea. They do not say "oven safe" on them. I have used them in the microwave, but they get VERY hot so I stopped doing that.

Never a stupid question!! I haven't used them in the oven, but the tops can go on while the food is pipping hot, I would use tin foil in such applications anyway. The reflection of heat from foil would create a wonderful toasty crust to most food.

Hi You can't cook on these They are only meant to keep your food warmThey are not meant for cooking in the ovens too

If by that you mean, do they stay cool when in use ... no -- they get hot. That is the only thing that I would criticize about the pans though. Other than that, they are great.

The manufacturer markets them as "storage bowls". There is no claim that they are oven safe. I have personally used them successfully in the microwave but not the oven.

I put mine in the microwave often with no problems. Also they seem to be dishwasher safe. I have not put them in the regular oven so don't know how they would hold up there. Overall these are good for storing and warming food.
