What is the difference between "take out of" and "take out from"? Are they interchangable?

1. Take the camera out of the box.

2. Take it out from the oven.

What is the difference between "take out of" and "take out from"? Are they interchangable?

1. Take the camera out of the box.

2. Take it out from the oven.  Usually, we would say "Take it out of the oven", or sometimes "Take it from the oven".

Sometimes we can say 'out from'.  For example:  "Take the boat out from the pier".

take out from is understandable but not idiomatic.  Use take out of for both sentences.
