Are The Coffee Mugs We Are Using Oven Safe?
We all want to know, “Are all coffee mugs oven safe?” This is a question to ask before you give it a try! That said, one mug may be while another may not be. To find out the answer to, “Are coffee mugs oven safe?” you need to know what sort of mugs you have.
To begin, mugs which have been created for restaurants or other food establishments will be oven safe. If you picked yours up at a restaurant supply store, you should be good to stick them in the oven. These are traditionally white, plain mugs with no special decorations.
When you have bought your mugs at another store, their oven safety comes into question. If they have any decorations, they can be damaged by the high external heat. That means paint may peel or ceramic add-ons may shatter.
Baking with a coffee mug
If you plan to bake something inside the mug, such as a cake or other dessert, the expansion of the ingredients inside could easily cause any flaw in manufacture, such as small air bubbles or cracks, to rupture, leading to the destruction of the mug. There is no way to know if these imperfections are there before you give it a try.
So, are all coffee mugs oven safe? Your best bet is to check the website of the manufacturer of your mugs to see if their FAQ answers that question. If it doesn’t, email or call them to find out directly from them if your mugs are safe. That is the only way to be 100% sure that putting your mug into the oven won’t lead to a mess of shattered ceramic and sticky ingredients. That said, if your mugs are restaurant grade, it is probably safe to give them a try without contacting anyone first. Good luck!
