Can Ceramic Casserole Dishes Go in the Oven?

Ceramic casserole dishes have a unique texture and excellent heat retention performance, making them a valuable asset for restaurants and kitchen enthusiasts. Can ceramic casserole dishes go in the oven? Will they explode? As a leading ceramic manufacturer, Lianyuan will answer it and share the correct usage method.

Can ceramic casserole dishes go in the oven?

The answer is yes, but the premise is to use heat-resistant materials and high-temperature firing technology.
Ceramic casserole dishes are made of high-temperature porcelain clay raw materials and fired at more than 1200℃, which can have good heat resistance and thermal stability. Such casseroles are usually marked as “oven-suitable” or “oven-safe”.

Lianyuan wholesale ceramic casserole series, made of special refractory ceramic materials, can be directly used in ovens, microwave ovens and open flame heating, which is ideal for multi-functional cooking.

Precautions when using ceramic casseroles in the oven

Even if your ceramic casserole is “oven-safe”, it is recommended to follow the following operating suggestions to extend its service life and ensure safety:

Avoid sudden cooling and heating

Do not put the frozen casserole directly into a high-temperature oven, and let it warm up naturally first.

Do not burn empty

Add ingredients or liquids before baking to avoid cracks caused by empty burning.

Avoid entering the oven with a wet bottom

When the bottom is wet, it is easy to damage the ceramic due to high-temperature steam fracturing. Please wipe the bottom of the pot dry before use.

Avoid contact with open flames and directly into the oven

The open flame and the oven have different heat source types, and a large temperature difference may cause ceramic cracks.

Use oven gloves to move

Ceramics have strong thermal insulation properties, and the surface temperature is still high after being taken out of the oven, so gloves are required for operation.

How to judge whether the casserole can be put into the oven?

The quick judgment method is as follows:

• Check the product description or the bottom to see if it is “oven safe.”

• Consult the manufacturer to obtain the product’s heat resistance data.

If you are not sure, it is recommended to avoid putting it directly into the oven. It is safer to use other heat-resistant containers.
