The question of whether corrugated cardboard, commonly used in pizza containers, is suitable for oven use is a crucial consideration. Cardboard is combustible and not designed to withstand high temperatures. Introducing it into a heated oven poses a significant fire hazard.
The construction of these containers relies on paper pulp and adhesives. These materials, while functional for transporting cooked food, degrade rapidly under heat. This degradation releases volatile organic compounds and introduces a risk of ignition. The material’s flammability negates any potential benefit of using it in a heated environment.
