Cooks' Question

Is there a difference between a flameproof and an ovenproof dish, or are they just the same thing?

Response

A flameproof dish is one that will go over direct heat. Indeed there are many dishes available that are ovenproof, but not flameproof. These are meant only for inside ovens and are not to be used over a direct flame or subjected to sudden changes of temperature. A sudden change to the temperature could cause the dish to shatter.
