The oven has become an indispensable attribute for most people. But has anyone thought about what things should not be put in the oven?

Of course, many people are rational. However, it is worth considering the danger of some things if you put them in the oven.

Plastic containers and packaging

Plastic containers and packaging may be convenient for storing food in the refrigerator, but they are in no way intended for use in the oven.

When heated, plastic can release harmful chemicals that can contaminate food and even cause food poisoning.

Fragile glass products

Glass items such as cutlery, cups or dishes may be damaged when exposed to high oven temperatures.

Not only will this create a risk of splintering, but it could also damage the oven itself.

Aluminum foil

Although aluminum foil is widely used in cooking, using it in the oven can be dangerous. The foil can cause short circuits or even cause a fire, especially if it comes into contact with hot heating elements.

Wet towels or sponges

In addition to the fact that wet items can start to burn in the oven, they can also cause steam and condensation, which will lead to the oven not working properly. Of course, the risk is not that great, but it is definitely something to consider.

Highly flammable materials

Such items include:

1.Cardboard.
2. Napkins.
3. Dried plants (they can be used during cooking).

Of course, everyone understands that such things should not be put in the oven. But many do it accidentally or simply do not realize the risk. A simple example: some people heat up pizza in a cardboard box.

Previously we talked about how to salt lard so that it turns out tasty and soft.
