How can I safely use an aluminum pan in the oven without causing any damage or hazards?

To safely use an aluminum pan in the oven, make sure it is oven-safe and not coated with non-stick materials. Avoid using it for acidic foods or high temperatures above 450F to prevent damage. Place the pan on a middle rack and avoid sudden temperature changes to prevent warping. Always use oven mitts when handling the hot pan to avoid burns.
