To determine if glass is oven safe, look for a symbol on the bottom indicating it can withstand high temperatures. Common symbols include an oven, flames, or the words 'oven-safe.' If there are no markings, assume it's not safe for oven use. Gradual heating and avoiding temperature shocks can reduce the risk of shattering unmarked glassware. Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines when available for the safest use.
