what is the purpose of the plastic lid? is it just an add on but shouldn't go in the oven?

The lid is for covering muffins, cupcakes, or whatever, to keep food fresher or for transporting to a potluck, for example. It is not for use in the microwave or oven.

Yes, it is an add-on, in the event you wish to refrigerate or store something previously baked/cooked.

No, do not place the lids in the oven. Use aluminum foil if you need to cover something. Lids are fine in the microwave.

Yes. The lid is not for oven use, but can be used in the microwave vented. The base can be used both in the microwave and oven. Works great for freezing food too.

You should let the dish cool a bit before using the lid, to,prevent its melting. Warm is ok, but fresh from oven, I wouldn't.

The actual aluminum pan can be used at any temperature that you can use for any baking sheet. The lid is NOT for oven use! You need to let your baked item cool off before placing the lid on for storage or refrigeration. This pan is a great size for so many things. I bought it for making fudge and brownies. Now I use it for everything, and I plan to buy another set.

I put it on a cookie sheet. Not only does it make handling easier, but mine leaks so badly it keeps my oven clean.

I have never used mine in the oven. I would think the directions would let you know if the lid can be put in the oven.

no - they have plastic rims and clasps, so the lids cannot go in the oven! the bottoms can though

Pam, I had one with the glass lid. The glass is more of a gimmick as condensation normally obscures your view of what you are cooking. I'm not saying it has no use just that it is limited.

It is a plastic lid for covering and transporting or storing what's baked in the pan. If you make free-form bread, this pan will bake the best loaf you've ever made.

I'm sorry to just now answering this question, but I am happy to give my opinion. I did not buy this lid to use in the oven. I only use my Lodge Cast Iron Dutch Oven lids in the oven. I use this lid to cover things I am cooking on top of the stove so I can see thru the lid. However, if I were planning to use it in the oven I would not exceed the suggested temperature which I believe is 400. I would like to add that I have several tempered glass lids and this one by Lodge is far better than any of the others. The one by Lodge is designed where it DOES NOT hold water so it is not necessary to unscrew the lid and drain the water when washing it. Now that's my kind of lid and I USE IT OFTEN!

The lids are all tempered glass and metal handles. There is a black rubber type ring in between the lid handle and the glass and I am not sure how high of heat that gasket can take. However, I have used mine in the oven and didn't seem to have a problem.

I would have to say so, but I really have never used the pan with lid in oven, usually pan only, but it would have to. I am a foodee and have worked in hospitality all my life, its a great pan.Chris

I disagree with the others that answered. I put the lid in the oven. it is great on the stove but I have cooked a pork roast and a pot roast in the oven as well with the lid on.

The lid is to keep the dough from rising into a crown (as you want with most loafs) , but not a Pullman loaf. I bought this as a gift for a chef who is my baking instructor in culinary school. He loved it.

i would NEVER put something fully sealed into an oven. it would explode. But these lids would melt before the unit exploded. no, they are not intended to be oven safe. and what kind of grammar is "does the lids oven safe"? "Does the lids be oven safe?" would be terrible, but better.

I am not an expert but these are a special plastic blend similar to the frozen dinners containers at your local supermarket. I don't think it would be a good idea. They work in the microwave but I would never place in a regular oven at any temperature. FYI We like them except the lids are difficult to remove.
