I got rid of my microwave 10 years ago.

I caused a heat pack teddy bear to burst in the microwave as well.
This might sound daft but do you think it would be safe to put a wheat pack in a roasting tin - the old enamel type with a lid - in a gas oven?
I think the only reason they say not to use gas oven is incase the flame touches the material part of the pack.
