How Hot Can Bake-O-Glide® Liners Get?

What Are Bake-O-Glide® Liners Made From?

Bake-O-Glide® products are made from PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)-coated woven glass fabric. This gives them their incredible nonstick and heat resistant properties, making them perfect for:

Baking biscuits, cakes, and bread
Roasting meats, potatoes, and vegetables
Lining air fryers for an easy clean-up
Protecting induction hobs from scratches
Preventing food from sticking to BBQ grills

Temperature Limits at a Glance

  • Working temperature range: -40°C to 260°C (500°F)

  • Maximum safe temperature: 260°C (500°F)

  • Danger zone: 300°C+ (572°F) – Exceeding this can cause the PTFE to degrade and release fumes that may lead to flu-like symptoms.

How Different Cooking Methods Affect Bake-O-Glide® Liners

🔥 Using Bake-O-Glide® in the Oven

Ovens are where Bake-O-Glide® shines. Whether you’re making cookies, pastries, or a Sunday roast, the even heat distribution ensures food cooks perfectly without sticking.

Safe Uses:
✔ Baking biscuits at 180°C
✔ Roasting meat & vegetables at 220°C
✔ Cooking pizzas at 240°C

⚠️ Caution:
Don’t place liners directly on the oven floor if you have heating elements on th ebase of the oven – it can overheat and damage the liner; place on the lowest shelf.
If your oven runs hotter than 260°C, check your settings before using a liner.


🔥 Bake-O-Glide® for BBQs & Grilling

BBQs and grills can reach very high temperatures, so it’s important to use Bake-O-Glide® correctly. It’s great for cooking meat, fish, and veg without food sticking – but direct flames can damage it.

Safe Uses:
✔ Grilling at medium temperatures (180-220°C)
✔ Cooking delicate foods like fish or halloumi

⚠️ Caution:
Never place the liner directly over an open flame – it can exceed safe temperatures quickly.
Keep BBQ temperatures below 260°C to avoid damage.


🍟 Using Bake-O-Glide® in an Air Fryer

If you use an air fryer, you’ll love Bake-O-Glide® liners. They stop food from sticking to the basket and make cleaning up so much easier. Most air fryers run at 150-200°C, so they’re well within the safe temperature range.

Safe Uses:
✔ Cooking chips at 180°C
✔ Air-frying breaded chicken at 200°C

⚠️ Caution:
Don’t block airflow – make sure the liner isn’t covering the vents.
Cut the liner to fit your basket, if needed rather than folding or creasing it.


🔥 Protecting Your Induction Hob

Induction hobs are a valuable investment, and protecting their sleek surfaces from scratches, stains, and daily wear is essential. The Bake-O-Glide® Induction Hob Protector acts as a durable, nonstick barrier between your cookware and hob, allowing heat to transfer efficiently while keeping your hob in pristine condition.

Safe Uses:
✔ Place directly on the induction hob surface to prevent scratches and damage.
✔ Use under pots and pans to shield against spills and marks.

⚠️ Caution:
Not suitable for ceramic or electric hobs – designed specifically for induction hobs.

By following these simple guidelines, you can extend the lifespan of your induction hob while maintaining its sleek and polished appearance.


Keeping Your Bake-O-Glide® Liners in Great Condition

To make sure your nonstick, reusable liners last as long as possible, follow these simple care tips:

Use both sides – Helps distribute wear evenly.
Store flat or rolled – Never fold or crease them.
Hand wash in warm, soapy water – Avoid harsh scourers.
Dishwasher-safe – Just lay it flat in the top rack.
Do not cut directly on the liner – Remove food before cutting.

By taking good care of your liners, you’ll get years of use out of them, making them a brilliant alternative to disposable baking paper and foil.
