Every hot have to turn off in between cooking. Do not have temperature control.

The instruction sheet says just that it gets very hot. Doesn't give a number of degrees.Karen

Keep warm to 400 degrees Numbers start at 200. I'm guessing the keep warm feature would go from 200 down to 100 or so. Incidentally, I think this pan is one of the best I've ever owned.

I believe you can get this pan fairly hot. It has a ceramic coating versus other pans Teflon coating. I know with Teflon coated pans you could see a color change in the coating if you ever got it too hot. I haven't seen that with this pan. Also, this pan seems to give proteins a nicer sear than Teflon coated pans.

If you heat it for about 6 minutes, it gets pretty darn hot. It will stay warm for about half an hour.

Yes, the handle gets really hot. You have to grab it with a pot holder or dish towel which gets a little awkward considering the size of the pan. I do love the pan. The small size makes for some very cute eggs. I have plans to crochet up something to slip over the handle tightly to solve this issue.

Not in my experience. The pan and handle are big enough that the heat dissipates before getting to the handle.

If mine said that, I missed it. However, the only time I'd use high (highest) heat is to bring water to a boil quickly. Otherwise, I keep the heat turned down a bit. Use your judgement. It's stainless steel, so you don't have to worry about the pan melting :) But while we're on the subject, I must warn you that the cover pull gets blistering hot. I did replace it w/ another pull that I took off a cover I wasn't using. Other than that, I like my pan.

I have used this pan at a temperature of 450 degrees. This is my favorite All-Clad piece (and I have many)! It can go from the oven to the table and look beautiful.

Yes- the pan heats very quickly. This pan is a great value. I'm a die-hard All Clad fan but for non-stick this one is terrific!

I've never tried it, but if you really want to, I'd only do it on VERY low heat. And even then, you might be taking a chance because the pan is not supposed to be used over 400 degrees.

If you turn the pan on high heat it will get hot. If you cook at Med or lower temps they do not get hot.

The cord control shows 450 as the highest temp. This is the most used pan in our home. Seldom do I ever cook anything higher then 350. I believe the pan runs hotter then the thermostat would indicate. The pan cooks complete meals like Spainish Cod or a simple egg bake. You must understand that with the best care in the world, the non stick will deteriorate. It's a fact of life with non stick pans. However, when this pan is no longer serviceable, I would buy another ASAP.

Yes, the handle does get hot....I got one of the potholder things that are made especially to slide onto pot handles. Love, love, love the pan!

I generally only pre-heat a pan for maybe ten seconds, and I do eggs on medium (5 or 6). for soups, etc, I start at 7 or 8 then reduce to 3 or 4

The product does get very hot on the high setting, in order to make an awesome Panini. It cools down in about 10 minutes and use it on my granite counter top with no issues. If you just take care when using it you will be very happy with it.

It's safe to 500 degree Fahrenheit. I have used in the broiler many times w/o a problem as well. A very good pan, probably my favorite!
