ovenware

Heat-resistant cookware

Ovenware is cookware designed to withstand oven temperatures—baking dishes, casseroles, roasting pans, and the like.

The term distinguishes these items from stovetop cookware: Is this dish ovenware, or will it crack?

Glass, ceramic, and certain metals qualify; plastic does not.
