<div dir="ltr"><div>Self cleaning ovens work at a temperature of around 500 centigrade (about 900 degrees Fahrenheit). This is above the melting point of many aluminium alloys, although I don't know about the ones used in cooking. None the less, people should be very careful about putting any utensil in a self-cleaning oven unless they're sure they know what it's made from. Even steel pots often have a "sandwiched" base containing another metal for heat dispersion, and I have a feeling that the weld may break down at high temperatures. <br>
