Yes, It is possible to vulcanize rubber in a home oven. You would still need Metal mold frames, metal covers for the mold frames and metal clamps to hold it all together. there are various kinds of rubber, some are very temerature-sensitive and will not provide good results in a home oven, and some are more forgiving and can give good results. the key is to calibrate your oven - use a thermometer to measure the oven's temperature and do not rely on the oven's buttons/gauges.

as a thumb rule - the shrinking kinds are more forgiving and the non-shrinking kinds require more accurate temperature settings, but the bottom line is - Yes You Can!

What is silicone's abbreviation in the periodic table?

Since silicone is not an element, it is not found on the periodic table, or does it have such an abbreviation. Silicone is known by most people as what seals (and bonds) the glass joins of aquaria (fish tanks), sealing door and window frames, as sealant in kitchens and bathrooms, and in more recent years, products such as oven-mitts/pot-holders, utensils, ice-cube-trays... Well, it's a very versatile and widely used compound.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SiliconeSilicon on the other hand, which is what you are meaning, is abbreviated as Si on the Periodic Table of Elements, and is a shiny metal.More about Silicon:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SiliconImages of The Periodic Table of the Elements:http://lmgtfy.com/?q=periodic+table+of+the+elementsThe important clarification here is that silicon is the element, and silicone is the rubber-like polymer. The two words are not interchangeable, and are the names of two very different things.On an interesting side-note, silicon is one of the several elements/atoms that make up the molecule of silicone.Silicone: The flexible rubber-like material. A compoundof numerous elements.Silicon: The metal, the element, the atom. A metalloid.Yes, this misinformation, the misuse of the terms is very common, and for some reason, product labelling, educational television programs, teachers, and so on, are just as likely to misuse the terms. But common does not imply correct.Lastly, of course it's very understandable for the average person to be misinformed when even those we look up to as experts carelessly abuse the terms.

Can Bialetti pans go in the oven?

No, absolutely not. If you put glass in the oven, it will crack and turn brown. It will ruin the pan, the food, and the oven. NEVER PUT GLASS IN THE OVEN. * * * * * * * * * * I don't know how old this post is, but actually, you CAN use glass such as Pyrex or Corning. I use a gas oven and that's all i use. I no longer have metal pans. Just check the "User Guide" that comes with your dish/pan. If it says it's safe to use in oven, you're fine. ************** It can. My mom used even a safe to use in oven glass pot and it exploded.
