Why does it say oven safe up to 400 degrees.....Many times I need to use ovenware up to 500 degrees. Isn't it is all steel and/or aluminum ?-

I've never used this particular piece in the oven but I also have the skillets and have used them stove top and oven. I have had the temp up to 450. Sorry I can't be of more help. I will say that these are wonderful pans that do live up to their non-stick, easy to clean claim

Usually this means that the pot is oven safe up to 500F but the glass lid is only safe up to 400F.

First, I would like to say, personally, I would NEVER stick a pot in the oven. This one will get extremely hot on the handles even if it says oven safe. I have never paid attention if this pot is oven safe. How often do you need an over set OVER 400 degrees? I have never gone over 425 and that is for like a short bake items like say pizza crust. This pot is great, but I would never stick it in the over. The handles get hot and check the manufacture link if it is designed for over use. My advice, use stonewear. Hope this helps.

Eric, I can tell you when I bought this item it stated in the last line of the item description "Comfortable silicone and cast stainless steel handles are oven safe to 400°f and dual riveted for extra strength, lifetime customer satisfaction - guaranteed" and if I ever become dissatisfied, I will expect them to honor their pledge. Hope this helps. -Don

this is safe in the oven up to 450° and you can find it at sam's club for $39.88 until they run out. there is a walmart brand for the same price, but it doesnt have a stainless steel handle so that one is oven safe to 400°. the walmart one is also not as pretty. still, i think this item is worth $70-$80.00 because it is an awesome pot/dutch oven. just remember to use plastic, rubber or wood utensils.

Hey, Sharon...I haven't personally tested it out but, the TeChef website does state that the pan's handle is oven safe to 350 degrees. It's no doubt the handle that is the weakest link as the body of the pan withstands much greater temperatures. Hope this helps, Chris.

Hi Joe. Well I just checked and I through my instruction away. I'm pretty sure I read up to 500 degrees. I have baked with mine at 375 degrees with no problem. Hope this helps, I really like mine.

I've used this set of Chicago Metallic pans, all the way to 450 degrees baking, with no problem, do use the 500 setting on broil, to brown the tops of cornbread, or biscuits? I've had other Pans by this same Co., for at least 25ys., although they are a little heavier, than this set, still no problem, whatsoever? I Enjoy this great brand of pan! I usually do biscuits on 450 degrees all the time, and have used these several mo.'s now, and no discoloration, or warping! Hope this was helpful!

The description says it is oven safe up to 400 F. However, I don't think it should go to the oven at all. The handle is plastic and no matter the description, I believe plastics should not be heated up.

The red version says in description "Oven safe to 460 degree f/240 degree c". I think the times would be about the same as metal pans, but I haven't tried yet. I love silicone, but it seems too much like plastic for me to be comfortable using it in the oven. My drink glasses are supposed to be ok set on a hot grill.

I just looked on Chefs web cite and they say it is oven safe...to what temperature I do not know.

I've used it over my BBQ and measured the temp with my infrared thermometer at 900 degrees. The pan suffered no damage whatsoever, but the pizza was toast :-D. I've also preheated it in a 550 degree oven and got the pan to reach over 600 degrees dozens of times. No issues of any kind. I've since moved on to 1/2" thick A36 steel for baking pizzas just to get more thermal mass and heat transfer, but cast iron does fine if you know how to work with it.

Supposedly yes. Although 500 degree is awfully high.I bake bread and have never gone that high.400 , 425, maybe for a crust. Lodge Pots are pure Cast Iron, NO enamel or non metal elements or trim. Quoting from the web site"Our cookware is safe at high temperatures; use metal, wood, or hi-temp silicone utensils."

Hi Grandma 4. Looking at The Lodge web site and referencing this exact skillet: "Knobs are oven safe up to 400º F". I find the lid to be adequate albeit a little flimsy in feel. I know it's dishwasher safe (talking of the lid, now) but I don't know if I'd personally trust it in a 400 degree oven. Hope this helps. Also hope we can find out what happened to Grandmas 1 - 3. :)

I have read that you shouldn't put pans with non-stick surfaces in the oven. On the other hand, considering that I use this on gas fired burners the localized temperatures easily reach oven temperatures. It is made of heavy aluminum. I personally wouldn't have a problem putting mine in the oven to finish something off. However, it does not say "oven safe" on it anywhere.

I've put it in an oven of 425-450, but never at 500. Hope this answer helps.

Instructions state tempered glass lid and knob are oven safe to 400 degrees. However, I have never used the lid in the oven.
