Chinet paper plates and other paper plates cannot go in the oven as they will burn when put into the oven and catch fire.

The temperature that a paper plate burns is 451 F.

A paper plate will catch fire in the oven as paper plates are flammable and will combust with the temperature of the oven.

Paper plates are also coated with an adhesive which also becomes hot when the paper plate becomes heated in the oven.

Paper plates also tend to absorb grease and other food particles that can also cause fires.

You can microwave paper plates but not use them in the oven or a toaster oven or air fryer.

Always use oven safe cookware that won't combust when heated in the oven.

The average temperature for paper to catch fire is around 451 degrees Fahrenheit.

Metal and other cast iron plates are oven safe and even Pyrex dishes but paper plate are not oven safe and should never be put in the oven.

Even when microwaving paper plates they can catch fire if they are microwaved too long so you must keep an eye on the paper plate in the microwave as well.
