Can you put a cold dish in hot oven?

No, cold dishes should not be put in a hot oven. When a cold dish is placed in a hot oven, the dish can crack or shatter due to the sudden change in temperature. Additionally, the food may not cook evenly or may become overcooked. It is best to preheat the oven before placing a dish inside, or to use a lower temperature for a longer cooking time if the dish is cold.
