Can you put these jars into the oven? Are they heat resistant, other than using them for canning?

In pressure canning the temperature can get up to around 240* so they are at least safe up to that temp. I have baked in canning jars before as high as 350* without problems, but the conventional advice is: they are not technically oven-safe.

Hello Shelly, I am glad to answer your question...these little canning jars are so handy in my kitchen/home! Even though they are meant for canning and can withstand a fairly high temperature, I would not put them into the oven. I use them for keeping small amounts of cooking ingredients that I use often and do not wish to handle the large containers which these ingredients are originally packaged. Also, I have given a few to friends who saw them and admired their "just the right size" feature for lots of things throughout the home. I plan to order more in the near future.

I just bought them for storage... They look great in my kitchen..and also use them to put food in them to give it to friends

Are you planning to use them to make custards? If so, they'd be in a bain-marie, so there wouldn't be a problem. Still, I'd use ceramic for its even termperatures. However, these and other canning jars should not be pre-heated/sterilized in dry heat. Always use boiling water. You'd put your uncovered hand into a 450-degree oven for fifteen seconds, but not into a pot of 212-degree boiling water for even two seconds. Dry heat; boiling water. Big difference.

I have never tried to put them in the oven. I have only given them the normal water bath to seal the jars.

I haven't tried to put them in the oven. I've read about things you can cook in a mason jar but haven't tried it...I like them because they look good.....

I think that would be a question for the manufacturer of the jars. Personally, I would not put them in the oven, I believe it's a different type of heat than when they are put in boiling water for canning.

I can't say that I've actually tried (I used them as vases), but I can tell you that they are a tad bit more substantial than "Mason" brand jars. I don't see why they wouldn't be oven resistant so long as you put them in a pan with an inch or so of water in it...

Yes, you can put them into the oven. I sterilize them before canning by putting them in the oven. When I can jams, I put them in a boiling water for 10-20 minutes and that also works fine. I have only used them for canning, but if I can boil them in water and put them in the oven, that suggests that they are quite heat resistant.

I have never used it for this, but I think it would be fine. You can put them in the oven.

No the lids can't go in the oven. I use tin foil or don't cover it at all when cooking in the oven. I love the Snapware Glasslock containers so much that I bought two sets!

they say not to use these in or with heat, and not made for canning right on the box they come in, you'd be better off going with the regular jars made for canning!!

I really hadn't considered using them for oven so unfortunately I can't answer your question. I've only used them (and many times in a short time!) for refrigerated items (salads etc) but I really love them!

I would not use them in the oven. They handles have a rubbery type material on them for easy gripping, and I don't really think they would hold up...I don't recall seeing anything on the box, or manual, about oven use, but not doing so is my personal choice.

I have not used them in the oven. However, they are metal and can withstand the heat of frying so I would not hesitate to use them in the oven.

I would put mine in the oven. I use mine for canning or when I make a large pot of soup.

I have not used them in the oven. Anyhow, like I said, it's not a good quality product. I wish I could return them but I threw away the box.

They cant go in the oven. They seem to do fine with stove top heat. I think they say 500 degrees. They mainly warn you not to go from hot to cold quickly. Ive had the them 6month+ and use them often and the nonstick still works.

I wouldn't. The lid handle is heat resistant but it's not clear how much heat it can take. I know that with high-heat frying the utensils quickly melt and I wouldn't take a chance heating the lid in the oven unless you replace the knob with something metal that can handle the oven temperatures.

I've never put them in the oven. It does not say you can. These pans cook great and do not stick.

Not a good idea. They do not say "oven safe" on them. I have used them in the microwave, but they get VERY hot so I stopped doing that.
2067262
Yes you can. Mine are stamped on the bottom that they are oven safe. I have not tried them in the oven yet.

I don't know about using them in the oven but I use them for leftovers daily for usage later on.Not sure whether oven usage is a good idea.

I would not think you could use them straight out of the oven. Probably warm food would be fine but really hot I wouldn't use them on.

I guess you could but not really sure. They are just little wax blocks so I suppose you could melt them in the oven and the end result would be the same but I've never done it that way.
