Is there any truth to the rumor that you can NOT use aluminum foil in the ovens on this range?

The manual says don't line the bottom or walls with foil or let foil touch the heating coil or temperature probe. But you can cover a dish with foil and that kind of thing.

Dear Nancy, U can use any kind of pan, glass alumin, cast iron, etc. Use medium heat setting when N doubt. But let me tell , this is 1 of thee best investments I have ever made! N fact, I am going 2 buy another 1 for backup. Its great around the holiday. My preference has always been gas until my gas stove went out & I had 2 resort 2 this waring commercial stove top & now I don't even bother w/the gas stove anymore except for baking. Hope this helps U. Enjoy!

I don't see why you couldn't use the compartment to bake in the oven, since it's a metal container. However, it does have a plastic lid so you would have to use foil to cover.

Im not sure. I haven't use it in the oven yetim afraid to because its plastic. Its not a steel pan or aluminium. I was very surprised when I received it. I havent had time to use it at all.im sorry I couldn't help you.

Did you ever get a definitive answer? We're considering this oven, but don't want any Teflon like coatings. Thank you.

I've never tried using in the oven. I THINK the instructions that came with it said not to.

I really don't have the answer to that. Hope not because love the product. Remember your aluminium pans probably do have toxins and how long have we been baking directly on those.

It's perfectly safe to use without tin foil. The pan has a baked enamel surface that resembles granite thus the name.

I can't say for sure about the temperature, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be okay to use in the oven. I haven't done that, though.

Oh sure, no problem with that. I use mine at 400 degrees often for baking fish or chicken. They don't clean up as well as I had hoped so I sometime line with foil to save me some scrubbing. Non stick spray or butter works well also.

Looks like you need to find out if there is aluminum in the base of any pan you are considering. I do not know if this one contains aluminum. On my electric range, this is a magnificent pan. I love it.

Absolutely not for any range of heat. I use aluminum foil as a cover. Not the best choice I've ever made.

I have never used mine in the oven but I'm guessing that you could; however I don't know what would be considered a safe temp.

According to the "All-Clad" brochure that came with the pan, it does say "oven and broiler safe." We have only used it on the range top and have not tried/used it in our oven. Good luck!

You cannot, it may melt and ruin the floor of your oven. Directly on the metal floor gets too hot

Yes that would work....but Yes that would work but aluminum foil works much better to keep out any freezer burn.

I called the customer service line to ask this specific question because in the past i have had terrible reactions to aluminum, mainly that I can't think straight after using aluminum cooking products. The woman at the end of the line said that it is Breville's company policy not to disclose the materials used to make their products. Seems fishy and misleading. I will be returning this product, I just cannot take the risk. BTW- I tried to see if I could take a peak inside but it was too complicated.
