Can you use it for high heat stir fry on stove top? As a lot of non stick pan advise medium heat cooking only.

You can use it for high heat stir fry with vegetable or meat. But the handles will be very hot so be careful!

You can stir fry in this pan but be sure to use pot holders because the handles do get hot. I love the size especially for big gatherings. It really holds a lot and I'm really glad I purchased this :)

To be completely honest with you I purchased it for my mom for Christmas last year, she loves it and uses it all the time. I believe she has used it on high heat and she uses a gas stove. Hope that helps.

I have not personally used it for stir-fry, but having used it for just about everything else, I would have to say that it would be OK. The box, which I kept, says it has a non-stick interior with the T-fal thermo-spot which allows for an even heat base. The box further states that the 'thermo-spot' unique heat indicator shows when your pan is perfectly preheated to seal in the flavor of your food. It (the box again) further states that the even heat base delivers even heat distribution for reliable cooking results. It also says that the non-stick interior, with 'Pro-metal Pro' (trademarked), is exceptionally durable, scratch resistant & safe for use with metal utensils, although I use only hard durable plastic utensils (just my personal preference when using non-stick interior pots/pans). The box says it has 'NO PFOA, NO LEAD, NO CADMIUM', is recyclable, which means it's a 'green' product.; and that it is safe for gas, coiled electric, ceramic & halogen cooking surfaces, but NOT INDUCTION. As I've been cooking for almost almost 50 yrs. & haven't burned down the house yet (well, only once - LOL!!) & haven't had to throw out any pots or pans yet (except because of age - not mine LOL!!), I would say GO FOR IT & if it doesn't work, please don't contact me... LOL!!! Seriously, bon appetit~

Stick with medium heat. High heat will release toxins from the coating. Hope this helps!

I bought it because many people mentioned that they used it for quick frying. You have to decide what you believe are the dangers with the nonstick and "high" temps, and what temps trigger those dangers.

Yes. I've been using it on my gas stove for two months with no issues. The instruction manual specifically says to use medium heat and even shows it on an open flame in the picture.

Absolutely! Have been doing so for the last couple of months. Be aware that these pots transfer heat amazingly well. It may take some adjusting to. Where I previously would use a fairly high heat, I've now dialed back and rarely need to go any higher than a medium/medium-high setting on my stove. I've never needed to use high, EVER! Over all I'm very pleased with these pots and pans.

It should heat up and hold heat like the wok. However the sides are not as high so it would be harder to keep everything in the pan when doing a stirfry.

I know this question is about 1-1/2 yrs. old, but thought I would answer it anyway! Yes, you can use this pan on the stove top. It's especially convenient when you want to make a sauce or gravy after you've roasted your meat.

not a good idea to use this on the stove top. It only has a wire mesh bottom so anything that cooks out of your food will end up on the stove top. I guess you could use it on a gas stove burner to grill veggies .

On high heat you can vegetable stir fry, on Max Heat you can "high sear" meats, you can do shallow frying with oil, slow cooking for "braising".

No nonstick pan I know of can handle really high heat. Med High ok but more than that will destroy the coating.

We mainly use high heat, as high as the big burners go, and have not had a problem with stir fry. There are a few small scratches from use, but no flaking, peeling etc.

NO, do NOT cook on High.The instructions say , use on medium flame..It is not healthy for the food you eat, to cook on a higher flame.. I bought this for my Grandson, and it did not last long, as he cooks on a higher flame then I do, although not on high.. Do Not stack this cookware on top of each other, that will take the coating of. Once its off, your cooking on Aluminum, Not healthy at all, then you can throw this out. I do have these pans . Mine has lasted me a few months and still look like new. Cause I don't use a high flame, I don't put any cookware in the dishwasher, and I don't use medal utensils. Even though it says you can. Don't. It says before using this cookware, you have to prime it first. Use alittle healthy oil. I use coconut oil. Every time I use these I use organic coconut oil. These pans are make in China, the box is made in the USA..A bit Tricky I would say...Enjoy..

Works on any stove top just don't use high heat. I found medium heat is enough once the pan is heated up completely.

Hi. I don't recommend stirring fry vegetables in this pan on high heat. It will burn the pot and leave spots that are hard to clean. If you don't use high heat it might be ok.

it's cast iron, so just as a cast iron frying pan, it also can be used stove top. Just make sure you don't get the legs caught, or hang on anything, when you move it. The only possible problem that could be, would be that the legs will sit on the stove top, outside of the regular cooking area, but seeing how the stove top has heat bearing finish, even this shouldn't present a problem.

Yes and yes. It works well on all stoves, distributes the heat nicely and is a good size to prepare stir fry for up to about 7-8 people (if its pretty full) and ideally suited to prepare meals for 4-5. I hope that helps!

Absolutely. You can cook on medium-high. We do it all the time. They are as heavy as other ceramic pans on the market but they have held up well and we use them all the time.
