To determine if your dish is oven safe, look for a symbol on the bottom resembling an oven. If there's no symbol, check the manufacturer's instructions or website. Glass or ceramic dishes without decorations are generally safe, but plastics, non-oven-proof metals, or dishes with adornments might not be. When in doubt, use a metal pan as they are almost always oven safe. Always ensure the dish's temperature limit to avoid damage or danger.
