Can it safely be pit into a preheated oven without exploding?

yes, it will not explode if you put it in a preheated oven. the time it exploded in my case, it was subjected to a direct heat from the range coil. by mistake (accidentally) I put it on the range while it was hot

I make lasagna in it...so I will say yes it can...at 375° at least. That's what I bake at.

Yes I actually use these almost daily and they have never exploded or broke. I also bought some for my mom and grandmother and they love theirs as well.

Yes, I have fixed many chicken dishes using them and had no problems at all.

The pan works perfect with breads, because the perforation give the dough a nice crunch, but leaving the inside nice and soft that is mainly the purpose of this pan. i don't think it will make a difference if the oven is pre-heated or not the pan will work the same. Now the for any bake good before putting it in the oven you will always need to pre-heat unless you are only heating up something.

I've only heated it in the microwave, which works great. The instructions say nothing about a conventional oven. My guess would be that it would not be safe.

Skip it for sure. Had I been bending over to take my chicken out of the dish when mine exploded, I would have ended up with glass in my face or eyes. It exploded after taking it out of the oven, not in the oven. Just use a regular baking pan. I didn't replace my set and won't. It's not worth risking your safety.

Yes, you're right. I never tried to use this in the oven (I use it for rolling dough), but I don't think it's rigid/sturdy enough to use alone.

I have put fairly hot items on my table without marringnor melting. I doubt that the front of an oven would get hot enough tp melt it.

I don't see why you couldn't. The exterior does get hot, which is relative to how high the temp is inside the oven.

I'm not sure but I don't think so. It's never been in my oven. I'm very careful how I treat it. I put a thin coat of oil inside the pan before I put it away, and put a towel between it and the pan nested inside.

I have used in my oven at 350 degrees. Can't imagine that it would be a problem higher. After all it is stainless steel.

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 :)

Yes. It's heavy duty and I would be comfortable browning meat on the cook top before putting it in the oven.

It a bit big for the oven (you will have to take out a rack). But I don't why you could not put it in the oven.

Probably ... I've had it in the oven at 425 degrees with no problem. Cosmetic (discoloring) was taken care of using "Barkeepers Friend" cleaning powder.

I have not used in oven but if need be I would. I see no reason other than oven size limitations.

I haven't tried, but the description says you can: "Oven safe to 500F, Glass lid is not suitable for oven use"

I have not put it in the oven but I would think it would be ok. It is a pretty light weight stainless steel.

Yes, of course it can go in the oven. And note that the loop handle is oven-safe.
