Yes, you can cure in a regular oven, but we do not recommend the one you use to cook food in. We use basic ovens that are dedicated for curing. You can also cure using your heat press. Set the top heat platen to sit 10mm/1cm above the item you are curing, set the heat to the recommended curing temp the cure for the recommended time. I hope this helps, but if you have more questions let us know.
