A member asked:
Can i safely use my oven for cooking to decontaminate a disposable mask that i wear in a hospital unit? the mask is put in a closed paper bag at 200 fahrenheit for 20 minutes.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO!: Cooking oven is not appropriate for sterilization or heating articles made of paper or plastic (fire hazard). If you really need it, a simpler way is to use desinfectant sprays or wash in water with soap or detergent.
