Hi Cynthia, I know that the smaller Okra steamers are oven safe, (the 27 oz for example) because I purchased the smaller 20 oz one and it says oven proof to __. (aprox 400 degrees) I am trying to figure out what is the advantage of the "multi" steamer product compared to regular okra steamers, as there is not much info in the details here on amazon for some reason. (Hello, Okra?! We are intrigued with your product, but you need to tell us more!)

Yes, it is and I love that. I was given a 2-piece for Christmas and the second time I used it, it leaked all into the oven. I love this one.

I actually called the manufacturer and they said that the plastic cap is BPA-free too. The rest of the steamer that comes in contact with water or food is stainless steel. That said they just came out with a new CERAMIC heater cap that can be purchased separately here on Amazon. I am hoping they will eventually include it in the steamer package for new customers instead of making them buy it additionally. Overall, this steamer is, I think, the best in the market. I used it for baby food too, and loved it!

Hey Eileen- I'm not sure exactly which aspect of 'safe' you're looking for but i baked a plate that i had drawn on with an oil based sharpie- the only issue i had was that the deaign came out kind of speckled but since it was uniform throughout the design it was kinda cool, i haven't tried it again to see if it was a fluke or not- i've read that using the oil sharpies then baking makes the plates food & dishwasher safe- i don't know how true that is, but i've read it several places. I found your question because i'm making wine glasses tomorrow- some places say bake them & one said the heat will cause it to break-- i guess i'll find out tomorrow!! I hope this helped!

If you order a set with phenolic (plastic handles) oven use is safe up to 350, but with full silicone handles it is oven safe up to 450. Hope this helps. In checking out the set I have to give as a gift, the handles feel like they are rubber or possibly silicone, I will check further. Hope these responses help.

I have not placed it in the oven, but I do not think it is over safe. It is easy to use and clean and does a good job keeping the splatter in the pan. I have tried others and this is the best one I have used. Hope this helps.

I don't think it is silicone, but a kind of plastic, I have baked a pie and other things that ran over and burned to a crisp on the spillmatt. I just left it in until it cooled and it washed right off under running water. I left it in my oven when I moved. It looked great and worked great, now I need to order another one.

The material is definitely not the oder-like like Teflon material which was deemed to be a hazard. So far, our liner has not been any problem with multiple use. We use plastic and wooden utensils. Ism sure if you google the manufacture website and contact them you could obtain the exact name of the liner material. So far, it's been a wonderful multi use appliance.

Only stated as Dishwasher- and microwave-safe - Dansk usually says if it is safe for oven/broiler... They don't say that about this piece.

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.

good question plastics worry me sometimes hot liquid and any plastic doesn't seem like a healthy idea even if it is sosingly heat safe, I'd ask who makes this and what tests have been done on this type of plastic to ensure safety.

I honestly do not know if this is made from a food safe plastic. We used the 5 or 7 gallon plastic jugs to shower or dishes, brushing teeth etc. and I am not sure if they are "food safe". The water we use to rinse dishes is, more than likely, not hot enough to "off gas". showering is a different story, the pressure definitely does not equal the pressure we have at our permanant residence, but for a quick camp shower it is a dream. You may want to contact the manufacturer for and "food safe" concerns. I can check on the plastic number next time we go to camp I will check but realisticaly, with they way this unit is set up, I doubt that I will find any.

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!

BPA safe plastic the handle is not silicone. There is no reason to be concerned about burns the handle does not heat up when the hot water is poured in.

Thanks for your question! Yes, it is safe for oven, microwave, and dishwasher use.

Right in the description it says "All Re-Play products are BPA-free, PVC-free, phthalate-free, melamine-free...and dishwasher safe" However with any plastics, its still a chemical. I do not heat even if it says they are safe As far as the product they are really great plates for little ones. I would purchase again. Hope that helps.
