Before placing any plate in your Blomberg oven, it’s essential to ensure that it is oven safe. Older crockery or plates with adhesive decorations may not be suitable for high temperatures and could pose safety risks. Fortunately, most modern manufacturers provide clear labelling indicating whether their products are safe for oven use.
What types of materials or items are safe to use in my oven?
You can use plates in your Blomberg oven as long as they are marked as oven safe. To determine if your dishware, such as plates, pots, cups, or bowls, is safe for oven use, look for a specific Oven-Safe symbol on the bottom of the item. Here are some materials that are generally considered oven-safe:
Metals: Stainless steel and cast iron are excellent choices for oven use. Avoid items that have non-metal parts, such as plastic or wooden handles.
Ceramics: Most ceramic dishes are suitable for oven use. However, do not use plates with adhesive designs, and ensure that any glazed ceramics are specifically designed for oven use.
Oven-Safe Glass: Glass labelled as oven-safe can be used in the oven. Be cautious to avoid temperature shocks, such as placing it directly from the refrigerator into a hot oven or moving it from a hot oven to cold water.
Silicone: Food-grade silicone is an excellent material for baking, as it can withstand high temperatures and is very durable (except when cut).
What items should I avoid placing in my oven?
Certain materials should generally be avoided in the oven:
Plastics: While some plastics may withstand heat, it’s best to verify with the manufacturer before using them in the oven.
Wood: Wooden items should never be placed in the oven, as they can warp or crack. Glued wooden items are particularly prone to splitting along glue lines.
Non-Oven-Safe Items: If a plate or dish does not have the oven-safe symbol, it’s advisable not to use it in your oven. Being cautious with your choice of crockery is the best way to ensure safety. Cardboard: Avoid placing cardboard in the oven, even at low temperatures, as it poses a fire risk.
When using your Blomberg oven, always prioritise safety by selecting appropriate dishware. If you’re uncertain about an item, it’s better to err on the side of caution.
