Not all lids are oven safe. It depends on the material and design of the lid. Metal lids are generally oven safe, while plastic, wood, or lids with non-metallic handles may not withstand high temperatures. Always check the manufacturer's instructions or labels for temperature limits. If in doubt, it’s safer to leave the lid off or use an oven-safe alternative like aluminum foil.
