I have an Oster convection bake oven. Can I put a porcelain dish with pasta in it just heat it? I want to get rid of microwave to save space.

You can only put any type of glassware in any kind of oven if it clearly states on the piece that it is "oven safe".
No other type of dish/glass ware will be safe.
Some may say you could use glass if the temperature was low but I do not believe this would be a safe practice.
It seems a microwave may have more short term benefits than an oven and an oven takes longer to cook and thus uses more electricity.
But - only 'microwave safe" dishes should be used in a microwave.
From a safety site:
"e container, cookware or plate is not labeled as either "oven-safe" or "microwave-safe," do not place the item in either type of oven. This will prevent damage to the item or to the oven."
A Toaster oven name is used but can be convection toaster oven.

As long as the dish is oven safe, you may use it.
I don't have one, so this is coming from friends. They have the best luck using metal pans with low sides. The one likes to use those silicone no stick thingies (the ones that are good to 500 degrees) when cooking sticky stuff.
