A conventional oven projects heat onto an object, warming it by passing the heat into the object from the heating elements. If the oven is turned off, the heat remains built up in the oven and the object will continue to cook until the heat has been dissipated. A microwave oven vibrates molecules to create heat from inside the object. Once the microwave stops, the molecules stop vibrating and the heat stops. The only heat remaining is eminating from the object as it cools. A microwave dish is sometimes made of plastic, Melamine or glass. None of these are safe to use in a conventional oven. Some glass containers such as Pyrex Glass are made for a conventioanl oven. Other glass containers may break. Glass will not melt with the heat an oven can produce, but the uneven cooling of the outside may differ from the inside and it could break. http://hypertextbook.com/facts/2002/SaiLee.shtml Glass not made for microwaves may break in the microwave. Bubbles in the glass may expand and crack the glass.

∙ 16y agono no Read the back or bottom of the plate. It will tell you if its safe for the oven or microwave. If its plastic then the answer is no, you can't put it in the oven. Some plastics cannot be used in the microwave. The best thing is to read the back of the plate. If it doesn't say, then I wouldn't take the chance.

∙ 10y agoNo, you can't. Some microwave dishes will be broken or melted down. It is better to check the labels on the dishes if they are for use in oven, microwave, or for both.

How can you tell if dishes are microwave or oven safe?
ans2. No is the short answer, for they are two different challenges.Dishwasher detergents are quite aggressive, and will remove decorative metal plating (gold, silver, platinum) from objects. Strong phosphates are common in these detergents - they are very different from 'kitchen sink' detergents.Microwave heating on the other hand could seriously deform some plastics, and the microwave environment does not take kindly to metal in the oven. Some sugars and fats also have problems.
