can it lay in the bottom of an oven if there is no element on the bottom?

I don't see any reason why not, unless you have a gas oven with the burner beneath the oven. In that case, I think it might not be such a good idea.

In a normal oven the lower you place the pan on the rack the hotter the bottom will get and it will brown. It worked for me!

As of Nov 2015, the box has specific instructions for electric ovens with *no visible element*. It states: "Place oven liner on the bottom wire rack of the oven. DO NOT place on the bottom of the oven."

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.

These are meant mainly for molding/forming food but they are pretty sturdy and made of stainless steel which takes high heat so I imagine they could be baked in except there is no bottom to this one so all your batter would ooze out the bottom. They do make similar items with removable bottoms that are meant for baking in though.

As Jason mentioned, the heat need to originate from the bottom up. I have not seen any oven that works with heat located on top only.

I've used it in my oven. There's no problem with it. The legs simply go through the rack. As long as you don't have the rack on the very lowest level, it's just fine.

It says in the description that you can use it in the oven :) It's near the bottom of the list of features.

Yes, just avoid the glass top ovens with this guy. Be sure you clean it well before storing it and don't let it sit in water for too long or it will rust.

I have an oven with hidden heating elements. I read the reviews and didn't read anywhere that the liner shouldn't be used on the bottom of this type of oven. I just received the liner and the box says, "For electric ovens that have hidden elements or gas ovens, place the liner on the lowest rack". I'm disappointed.

I would bet you can although I used the liner on the bottom of the oven. It does work as a cookie sheet liner too.

I don't see why not, but I wouldn't put anything on top of this oven. The top can get pretty hot.

If the oven is not hot or you can just put aluminum foil on while in the oven.

I have never tried setting it in the oven, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be as long as you have the oven hot if the insert is hot. I have read elsewhere that the insert can crack if you suddenly change the temperature.

It will sit on the top but I don't think it will get very hot as there will be space between the top of stove and the bottom of the oven. Hope this helps.

I doubt it. But I could be wrong. It does have a smell that could come off in the oven. Sorry for indecisive reply.
