Because your teacher will probably have a fit. In the old days, you could put volumetric flasks into a drying oven, but you couldn't take volumetric flasks out of a drying oven... the heat would warp the glass slightly and introduce error into the calibration mark, so the flasks would not actually be volumetric anymore. However, borosilicate glass (Pyrex and the like) is much less heat-sensitive, and studies have shown that there's no discernable change in the capacity of borosilicate flasks even after repeated exposure to temperatures considerably higher than those normally found in a drying oven. So, aside from the aforementioned fit, there's no real reason not to do it as long as you're using borosilicate glass flasks.

How do you get rust out of your Dutch oven?

If by dutch oven you mean cast iron, then scrub it well, dry it over an open flame, then coat it with lard, rub it in well, put it in the oven at low heat for several hours. Or you can simply place the clean pan in an open fire, leaving it there until the fire dies down. Once you have eliminated the rust, keep the dutch oven clean by always drying it on the stove after washing it, not drying the inside with a cloth. Wipe down the outside after washing, then place the pan on a low open flame on the stove burner, watching until it is totally dry. Turn off the burner and let the pan cool, then put away.
