Will this be safe in the oven?
I've just realised that my massive casserole dish got broken so I don't have anything to make my Butternut Squash Curry in. I've take out the inside of my slow cooker and put it in that inside the oven. Will it be ok? Suppose it must be able to withstand high temperatures?
