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.

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.

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.
