IKEA Oven-Safe Kitchenware

Plates

Ikea stocks plates made from various materials, including feldspar porcelain, stoneware, and tempered glass. None of their plates are explicitly listed as oven-safe. However, materials such as stoneware and tempered glass are made to withstand oven temperatures.

Feldspar porcelain can withstand temperatures up to 300 degrees. If you want to use your Ikea plates in the oven, it is best to test one and see how it holds up in the oven.

All of the Ikea plates are listed as microwave safe.

Bowls

Ikea bowls are made from many of the same materials as their plates. Like their plates, bowls are not listed as oven safe. One reason may be that many of their bowls are glazed, and only certain glazes are oven-safe. Again, many Ikea bowls are listed as microwave and dishwasher safe, while a select few are more delicate.

Mugs

True to the other tableware we've discussed, many Ikea mugs are treated with a glaze or made with feldspar porcelain. This means that they are not labeled as oven safe but may be able to withstand oven temperatures. Ikea also offers some tempered glass options, described as able to withstand higher temperatures but not listed as oven safe.

Pans

While Ikea doesn't offer any oven-safe tableware, there are many options for oven-safe pans available.

Serveware

Can Ikea Dishes Go In The Microwave?

Can Ikea Dishes Go In An Air Fryer?

Generally, any dish that is oven safe can be used in an air fryer. Ikea stocks several ovenware options that would be able to be used in the air fryer as well since they are oven safe.

What Type Of Glass Does Ikea Use In Their Dishes?

Ikea prides itself on moving toward a goal of only using recycled glass in their products. Additionally, their glass dishes are made from heat-resistant glass that does not contain cadmium or lead.

Who Makes Ikea Glassware?

Ikea's glassware comes from a variety of sources. If you explore Ikea's website, you will see that each glass item lists the designer responsible for creating that particular piece.

How Do You Know If A Dish Is Oven Safe?

Informative packaging paired with common sense and awareness will go a long way in helping you determine if a dish is oven-safe.

Oven-Safe Symbol

Many manufacturers stamp their oven-safe dishes with a symbol indicated that the dishes can be used in the oven. Looking for this stamp or a warning otherwise stating not intended for oven use will be your first step.

However, the presence of a symbol, or lack thereof, is not enough to rely upon. Different companies, especially if they are based in a country other than your own, may adhere to different regulations that you are not aware of.

Material

Take note of the material used to make the dish in question. Materials such as silicone, tempered glass, and cast iron, are made for use in high temperatures. On the other hand, you should not use plastic and wood in the oven.

Damages

If you are reasonably sure that your dish is oven-safe and you give it a try, take note of the condition of the dish when you remove it from the oven. If the dish is melted, cracked, or warped do not continue to use it in the oven, regardless of whether it claims to be oven-safe.

Summary

While Ikea does not list many products as oven-safe, they are made with materials that may be suitable for oven use. If you choose to test your Ikea products for use in the oven, proceed with caution. Make sure that they do not contain any unsafe materials for the oven, such as plastic.

If you test your products and damage occurs by the oven or they give off a toxic odor if they are treated with glazes, discontinue use. When in doubt, do not hesitate to reach out to customer service to get more information about your Ikea products and their ability to be used in the oven.
