Introduction
You love your non-stick pans, but you don’t always want to use them on the stovetop. That’s understandable! There are times when you might want to bake something in them instead. But is that safe? Can you put a non stick pan in an oven? The short answer is no…or at least not safely. But before we dive into why, let’s look at what makes these pans so great:
Non stick pans are not supposed to be used in the oven.
Non stick pans are not supposed to be used in the oven. The high heat will damage the non stick coating, which can become flaky and could potentially burn. The coating can also melt and drip onto your food, resulting in an unpleasant experience for both you and your dinner guests (or family members).
When you heat up non stick pans, they will get very hot, which makes them extremely dangerous and hazardous to use.
When you heat up non stick pans, they will get very hot, which makes them extremely dangerous and hazardous to use. The coating on these pans is not designed to withstand high temperatures. When heated in an oven, it could break down and release fumes that are toxic or even flammable.
The reason why this happens is because some non-stick coatings contain PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene), which is also known as Teflon. This is a synthetic material that has been found to be harmful for humans if ingested in large quantities over time because it can cause liver damage and other health problems such as cancerous growths in the lungs when exposed directly on skin for long periods of time (Source).
Using a nonstick pan on the stovetop is fine if you’re making something that won’t splatter or burn, but for anything that’s going to cause some splatter or other mess, it’s probably best to just use something else.
Non-stick pans are not very durable.
Non-stick pans are not made for high heat.
Non-stick pans are not designed for use in the oven.
Using a nonstick pan on the stovetop or in the oven is extremely dangerous and could potentially lead to burns or even fires in your kitchen.
Using a non stick pan on the stovetop or in the oven is extremely dangerous and could potentially lead to burns or even fires in your kitchen. Nonstick pans are not meant to be used on high heat, as they can get extremely hot very quickly. If you put one of these pans in an oven with temperatures over 500 degrees Fahrenheit (260 Celsius), it can cause your pan to warp and melt right off of its base!
This means that unless you’re making something like fried eggs or bacon where there won’t be any splattering, don’t even think about putting your non stick skillet into an oven.
Never put a non stick pan under an electric range element or a broiler because high heat can cause chemical reactions in the coating and make fumes that can irritate your lungs.

Never put a non stick pan in the oven, on the stovetop or under an open flame (like a gas burner).
No matter how much you love using your non-stick skillet, don’t put it in the oven!
No matter how much you love using your non-stick skillet, don’t put it in the oven!
Non-stick pans are not meant for use on either the stovetop or in an oven. They are made from teflon and other coatings that will break down when exposed to high temperatures. The same goes for any other pan that has a Teflon coating–don’t cook with these items!
Conclusion
So, to recap: if you want to use your non-stick pan in the oven, don’t do it! You’re much better off using something else like a cast iron skillet or even an old-fashioned stainless steel one.
