oven temp??

[brianlinkles]

I am wondering if using my oven at 425 or 450 will be dangerous for the birds. I like to cook pizzas on ceramic stones in the oven and I usually do this at these temps. I am concerned if the oven will emmit fumes at this heat to harm my birds. I have been cooking at lower temps sometimes using the convection setting to try and mimic the higher temp however haven't cooked on this temp out of fear. I am wondering if I am being overly cautious and that it would be alright to cook at this heat.

Not to be sarcastic, but I think not being able to turn your oven on over 400 degrees would kind of make it impossible to own birds

Chemical fumes from cleaners are bad, and of course intense smoke. But I make fresh pizza from scratch all the time!

The way i understand it , 500 F is the temp when nonstick ,Teflon etc. start to "melt" ,give off harmful fumes.If your oven is to 450 F then parts of your oven are hotter than that.Have you tried cooking pizza on the "Big Green Egg"? (Ceramic Grill), i can get mine to 700 F no problem.

Actually at 450 degrees components of different non stick pans as well as certain ceramics start to break down and release harmful fumes. I am just wondering if the inside of the oven works in the same way.
