FYI, I'm a firefighter and I just had an emergency call this evening for carbon monoxide. It turns out that it was caused by someone using one of these liners on the bottom of the gas oven. It was blocking the holes on the bottom which was causing improper burning of the gas and releasing large quantities of carbon monoxide. Obviously, this is not an issue for electric ovens. You should be able to use this on the bottom rack of a gas oven. Alternately, you can trim the liner so that it doesn't cover the holes on the bottom. Just make sure the holes are clear and it shouldn't cause any problems. Just want to throw a plug out there for carbon monoxide detectors. This family had one. If they wouldn't have had a carbon monoxide detector, they may have gotten very sick, possibly to the point of it being fatal. But, since they did have one, they had a slight annoyance for about an hour while we discovered the problem and ventilated their house until it was safe. There are some for less than $20 here on Amazon.

No because whatever is put in the pan cooks fast. Tried doing buscits and the bottom burned. It does not matter how low you set the oven.

Yes the liner can. When you are just using the oven to bake. This liner is great. I have a convection oven and I use it all the time.

I haven't used the liner in a regular oven, but I wouldn't recommend it! I hope you enjoy your oven as much as I do...hardly use oven only for baking cookies and pies!

Yes! You just stick it to the oven door above. I was a little worried it would get too hot and melt it but so far so good :)

It's supposed to go on the bottom of the oven. However, it burns onto the floor of the oven. My new oven, just installed this past October, is ruined by it. DO NOT BUY IT.Go to a Bed Bath & Beyond type of store, and have them recommend the right kind of oven liner. This is getting returned to Amazon.

Hey Ron, I have exposed heating elements and this melted similar to my experience with aluminum foil liners catching on fire. My best experience so far with oven liners is using cookie tins that are large enough to cover the majority of the bottom of the oven.

Yes. Any oven. Some ovens have the heat come through the bottom so I'd probably just recommend cutting out the area that the heat actually comes through or putting it on the first rack in the oven. I have 3 racks in my oven so just placed it on the lowest rack and it works great. Saved me a few times catching sweet potato spill overs

Excellent question and one I thought about before purchase and was prepared to place some ceramic tiles to absorb excess heat. But, it is not needed. The insulation is good and I can actually set my hand upon the top when it has been baking at 350 for 20 minutes. It continues to gain some heat, but nowheres near what the consumer countertop ovens I had before radiated. I think that is because the consumer models have NO insulation. I absolutely love the oven and it bakes better than my expensive double convection stainless Thermador. Hope that helps in your decision process. I don't see how you can go wrong if you get one of the ovens as pictured in the photo as I did. Good things have a way of changing locations of manufacturing if you know what I mean. ;)

Only a sheet of liner you can put on the bottom. I put my pots on the liner. Enjoy!

Douglas, the way mine fits is lip on the top goes around (over) the lip on the bottom piece. To bake properly I would think you wouldn't want any gaps which would allow the moisture to escape.

I've only used it to keep spills and drips localized. Don't put it on bottom of oven, but instead put it on a rack (even with a pan sitting on it). The silicon baking mats (Silpat is one brand, etc.)used as baking liners are softer. Hope this helps!

You don't need to put a pan under it. Actually I think if you do put a pan under it, it will not work as it's suppose to. If you are worried about grease, you could put a pan on the bottom rack so that way if anything drips it catches it. I haven't used mine yet, but have seen other people say how this works.

I am currently using it in a gas oven on the lowest rack. The instructions say not to place the mat on the bottom of the oven interior of a gas oven.

I'm not sure why you would need a liner. This is cast iron and if taken care of, your baked good should come out easily.

Sandy W. I have done both, but have to place the rack so that it is lower in the oven, which means you need to watch the bottom of whatever you are cooking. If you are using a shallow baking dish that centers your food quite evenly, everything seems to work fine! Hope this helps!

I think the liner would be microwavable but I'm not sure about the oven, I wouldn't put my liner in the oven. Check with the Manufacture.
