Are stainless steel cookware oven safe?
Yes, most stainless steel cookware is oven safe. Stainless steel is a tough, heat-resistant material that can withstand high cooking temperatures. However, there are some important considerations:
- Oven compatibility: most stainless steel cookware can be used in a conventional oven, but check the manufacturer's specifications to confirm compatibility with the temperatures of the oven you intend to use.
- Handles: if the stainless steel dish has handles, make sure that they are also made of stainless steel and that they are designed to withstand oven temperatures; indeed, some handles can be covered with insulating materials to prevent overheating.
- Avoid aluminium: some stainless steel dishes have aluminium bottoms to improve thermal conductivity. If this is the case, check that the dish is labelled as ovenproof, as aluminium may not be compatible with certain cooking temperatures.
- Cleaning: Stainless steel cookware is generally easy to clean, but food can sometimes stick to the surface. Regular soaking and cleaning can help to keep the dish clean.
- Safe use: When using stainless steel cookware in the oven, always follow the manufacturer's instructions and observe the maximum temperature recommendations.

How do I choose an oven dish?
Choosing the right oven dish for your needs can depend on a number of factors, such as the type of food you want to prepare, how often you use it, the size of your oven and even your personal preferences. Here are some tips to help you choose an oven dish:
Material
- Ceramic: Ceramic dishes distribute heat evenly, withstand high temperatures and retain heat well. They are ideal for slow cooking and simmering.
- Glass: Glass dishes withstand heat well, are often transparent so you can see what's cooking, but can crack if the temperature changes suddenly: don't add cold water to a very hot dish while it's cooking!
- Stainless steel: Corrosion-resistant and durable, stainless steel is a good choice. It can also be used for cooking at high temperatures.
Shape and size
- gratin dish: ideal for cooking gratins, lasagne and all recipes that require a larger cooking surface.
- Rectangular dish: versatile, suitable for a wide range of meals including roasts, baked vegetables and lasagne.
- Square dish: perfect for smaller recipes or individual portions
- Round dish: useful for pies, quiches and other round dish recipes.
Depth
Choose the depth according to the type of food you frequently prepare; deeper dishes are ideal for stews and gratins.
Special coatings
Some ovenware has a non-stick or enamel coating. These coatings make cleaning easier and often add an aesthetic touch.
Handles
Choose dishes with sturdy handles to make it easier to carry hot food from the oven to the table. Make sure they are strong enough to withstand the weight of the food inside.
Oven compatibility
Check that the dish is compatible with your type of oven (gas, electric, convection, etc.) and the temperatures at which you intend to use it.
Maintenance
Some ovenware requires special care. For example, enamelled cast-iron pans may require special treatment, while ceramic pans may need to be handled more gently to avoid cracking.
Your budget
Determine your budget based on your needs and preferences. Affordable options are available in a range of materials and sizes.
Finally, choosing an oven dish depends on your cooking habits, personal preferences and the versatility you need. By taking these factors into account, you'll be able to choose an oven dish that perfectly suits your culinary needs.
