No, the silicone handle grip is designed for stovetop use to protect your hands from heat. You should remove the silicone cover before placing the pan inside the oven.

Hand wash the pan with warm water and a stiff brush or non-abrasive sponge. Avoid using a dishwasher or harsh soaps, and always dry it thoroughly on the stovetop before applying a light coat of oil to prevent rust.
