Quoted from pindude80:Is there a way to tell if they are magnetized or not?
Does a piece of steel stick to it? Nail, bobby pin, needle, something like that?

Quoted from mbaumle:The curie point of steel or iron is somewhere above 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit. So unless you've got an autoclave lying around, your oven isn't going to get hot enough.
I've removed hard drive magnets from their backing using a 650 heat gun to soften the glue. The magnet was significantly weaker when I was done. So the oven may indeed work. It's free to try.
