  1. To determine if your ceramic dish is safe for oven use, check for the following:

    1. Manufacturer’s Instructions: Look for any labels or markings on the dish that indicate whether it is oven-safe. Many manufacturers provide specific guidelines.

    2. Material: Most ceramic dishes that are labeled as “oven-safe” are designed to withstand high temperatures. However, some ceramic items may be decorative and not intended for cooking.

    3. Temperature Limits: Ensure that the dish doesn’t have any temperature restrictions. Some ceramics can crack or break if exposed to extreme heat.

    4. Glazes: Be aware of the type of glaze used. Some glazes can contain toxic materials that may leach into food when heated.

    5. Testing: If unsure, you could conduct a simple test. Place the dish in a cool oven, then gradually raise the temperature to the desired level to see if it withstands the heat without cracking.

    If in doubt, it’s best to err on the side of caution and use only dishes specifically labeled as oven-safe.
