I have done some research on melmac products and discovered that a number 7 on the bottom means it contains b.p.a. My melmac bowls have a number 4 on the bottom so are safe.I hope this helps a bit. connie in Alberta
Millions of people ate off of Melmac dishes during the 40's through the late 70's (they declined in popularity after that); I've found no evidence that any of them ever died as a direct result of using melmac dishes. Furthermore BPA has Not been proven to be dangerous to humans at the level that people are exposed to it. There is some evidence that it may harm some animals that were tested upon, but what might hurt a bunny or a rat won't necessarily hurt a human and they've yet to prove it will beyond a shadow of Much doubt. Click the Mommy Myth Buster link on this page for a very well written article on the myth of items made with BPA as dangerous to humans.

∙ 15y agoMelamine:
Long-lasting melamine is the most common plastic used to make unbreakable dishes. Melamine is always solid in color and can be found in a wide variety of styles, weights and designs. Melamine dishes are the most resistant to scratches of any plastic and are dishwasher-safe, but cannot be used in the microwave since they absorb heat and can blister, crack and warp. Melamine:

Can you use a oven safe dish even though the recipe call for dutch oven?
Not always. Some recipes calling for a dutch oven are first heated on the stove top to brown meat before adding other ingredients and placing in the oven. Most "oven safe" dishes are not safe to use on the stove top burners. But it would be safe to brown the meat in a skillet then transfer it to an oven safe dish for oven cooking.

Porcelain is a kind of high fire clay, and is safe and suitable in the oven. Glass meant to be used in the oven is also fired in a kiln and safe. There really isn't much difference between the two dishes and you should get the same results.

Can you bake on a ceramic plate?
Technically you could put them in the oven, but if you are planning to turn the oven on, I wouldn't recommend it.If the dishes are plastic, as most dishes labeled 'dishwasher and microwave safe' are, then they will melt if used in the oven. A microwave is safe as its only a few minutes, and a dishwasher uses hot water.
Are melmac dishes microwavable?
I have used/cooked in melmac plates/bowls most of my life... in a microwave. I use and buy melmac to this day! Can you microwave in it... yes ....I do it all the time.....BUT, I have had only 5 pieces crack. Why do they crack/break when you microwave in them? All I can do is tell you my 40+ years experience with them. IF the melmac piece has (In My Opinion, and what I have read/heard) an air pocket in it, it can crack/break. I have had that happen only 5 times in my 40+ years experience. Melmac will get 'very' hot before the food gets hot as well, in a microwave. There will be warnings 'Not' to microwave melmac, but I have done it most of my life, and will continue to do so. :) I have 'Never' had a piece of Melmac litterly 'blow up' when microwaving food. In a microwave, I will only use 2 things....Melmac or Glassware...and I break more glassware than Melmac...mostly due to dropping it (glassware) or banging it too hard in the dish sink against some other dish . I LOVE my Melmac!!!!...and glassware...LOL. DJ (North Central Texas)
Can you put a plate in a gas oven?
Depends on what the plate is made of. If the plate was made by a heating process, such as ceramics baked in a kiln, the answer is usually yes. Products that specifically say oven-safe, such as Pyrex glass dishes, can go in the oven safely.
