Ceramics are generally fine to use in the oven. However, do not use plates decorated with adhesive designs. Equally, if the ceramics are glazed, make sure they are manufactured to use in a built in oven .

Most plates are made of either glass or ceramic, and both perform well under high temperatures. Metal and cast-iron plates are also oven-safe plates, but you must check for the label that says "oven-safe" before putting them straight into the oven.

Thermal shock produces cracks as a result of rapid component temperature change, or, in other words, a shattered plate in the oven. If cold food comes into contact with a heated ceramic plate it will likely be fine, but placing freezing food into an oven-hot dish is another story.

Heat your plates in oven

Stack plates in the oven from 140°F to 190°F (60°C to 90°C) for about 15 minutes. Be careful: avoid heating plates up to 175°F (80°C) as you can burn yourself by touching plates which are too hot. Some ovens have a warmer drawer, specifically designed to keep dishes hot before serving.

The most important factor to remember when putting a ceramic dish into a high-temperature oven is the temperature of the ceramic dish. If the dish is too cold, it will crack. So, it's best to remove the dish from a refrigerator or let sit at room temperature for a while if you are putting in a really hot oven.

You can put plates in the oven as long as they're labelled as oven safe. In order to identify if your plate, pot, cup or bowl is oven safe, you need to look for a special Oven-Safe symbol underneath. Some examples of the types of materials that are oven safe are: Metals such as stainless steel and cast iron.

Thermal shock is when this change in state happens suddenly or too quickly. For example, when a frozen plate is put into a very hot oven, or similarly in reverse if a recently heated plate is put in the refridgerator. The sharp change in condition applies stress and the item cracks.

Glass and ceramic dishware are usually safe for microwave use, but there are exceptions like crystal and some handmade pottery. When it comes to glass or ceramic plates, bowls, cups, mugs, mixing bowls or bakeware, you should be in the clear as long as it doesn't feature metallic paint or inlays.

Porcelain and ceramic dinnerware are actually one of the most popular and safe choices for healthy dinnerware due to their aesthetic appeal, durability, and natural composition.

How much heat can a plate handle? ›

You should not heat the plate above 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees centigrade) and you should be careful not to put cold things on a heated plate or a heated plate on something cold because the thermal shock might make them crack too.

One very important thing to remember when using a ceramic dish is to avoid putting it inside the oven directly from the refrigerator and leave it at room temperature first to prevent it from cracking.

Check for an Oven-Safe Symbol on Cookware.

Most manufacturers are very upfront about whether or not cookware is oven-safe, and usually denote with a symbol on the pan or care instructions. Be sure to pay attention to the heat maximums a pan can endure—this is often listed in the product specifications or care guidelines.

Model numbers usually consist of a manner of letters and numbers, and may also include characters such as a slash (/) or a dash (-). You will find the model number on a sticker or rating plate. For cookers and ovens this can usually be found around the frame, behind the door of the appliance.

If you aren't sure whether something can go in the microwave, check the back or bottom to look for a microwave-safe label or symbol. If you can't find one, try to determine what the item is made of—this will give you a better idea if it's ok for microwave use.
