Can I heat it in the oven to warm it up first?

I suppose you could, but why? When using this, think pancakes. You need to get the griddle hot first. I simply place it on the front burner and heat it until the oil begins to smoke a little. I use a brush to oil the pan. Then I add the batter and adjust the heat as needed. I use a very large measuring cup to mix the batter in. I find it is easier to pour from this into the cups on the pan. It takes a little practice and timing, but well worth it! Another tip... I bought a few squirt (think ketchup bottles at restaurants) bottles. I filled one up with syrup, one with apple sauce, one with raspberry jelly, etc. and set them out. When I make these for groups, they have their choice of fillings and flavors! Finger Food! Pick one up, fill it with your favorite flavor and pop it into your mouth! This goes over big time! Enjoy!

I don't know why you would, but it is cast iron, so I am very sure that you can. (I use a large spoon to fill the cups with batter, if you are using buttermilk for the batter it will be nice and thick and I find that using a spoon works better for me than pouring- everybody has their own preferred way.)

I would not put it in the oven, although it is silicone and could probably handle it. It can be set in water that is boiling vigorously.

I have never tried setting it in the oven, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be as long as you have the oven hot if the insert is hot. I have read elsewhere that the insert can crack if you suddenly change the temperature.

As long as it fits in the oven, AND has some space around the pan, I have baked it. Unfortunately, have to keep resetting it after the first 30 min are up.

Yes you can. But I would imagine it would take between 20 to 30 minutes for it to warm up. So you would need to preplan and be extremely cautious because the can will get very hot.

I'm not sure but I don't think so. It's never been in my oven. I'm very careful how I treat it. I put a thin coat of oil inside the pan before I put it away, and put a towel between it and the pan nested inside.

you can because it is made out of reynolon. but you have to make sure it is completely covered, it is still plastic and it is not recommended going over 350 for melting purposes. me personally i have not used it at that high of a temp to cook. i wouldnt exactly use the words "oven-proof" it is plastic. temp is a big big part of it.

yes preheating is essential, get a pizza peeler to transfer prepared crust to cast iron.

I don't see why not. Its all metal and fully clad in a high temp coating that is safe for direct heat....so yeah it should do just fine in the oven. :-)

You can leave it in your oven, but I don't know if it will withstand the heat of a BBQ

I have never tried heating the wrap in the oven. You may want to contact the manufacturer. In the meantime, I would advise against placing the wrap in the oven as I suspect the beads on the inside of the wrap are meant to respond the near instantaneous and intense heat of the the microwave.

Yes. I usually heat the stone then remove it from the oven and then put the dough and toppings on then return the pizza to the oven to cook.

Yes - you can re-season this pan in the oven although it's not usually necessary. Cleaning the pan after each use wit hot water and a little table salt and a brush - then drying the pan before heating on the stove top. When the pan is hot to the touch but not so hot that the oil will smoke, add just enough oil to the pan so that it can be distributed evenly with a paper towel. I turn the heat to simmer and leave for a couple of minutes. That's about it - the pan is ready to go for its next use. Oven seasoning is usually reserved for pans that are brand new or neglected.

You can bake with it in the oven. Not sure about microwave? I don't really care for it.

Not sure that you can since roasting is a dry heat method where the heat in the oven surrounds the food. With the exception of the saut function, cooking in this is about moisture with little evaporation. If you turned the unit on saut and tried to roast something, it would be like tring to roast something on a pot on the stovetop -- that method isn't roasting.

Yes I just oiled it and heat it on high for at least 5 minutes before putting it to the temp I want. Parts of it seem to cook differently sometimes though. I believe a booklet with instructions came with. It is helpful.

Yes you can bake anything in the oven if the pan fits. Its great for all sorts of baking when you don't want to say heat up a full oven to make 4 biscuits for example. I hope this helps. Frank
