so if it has a 500 degree limit it cannot be used in an open fire or outdoor wood fired oven, correct?

You can use this on an open fire. Controlling the heat is important if you want the food to taste good more than to protect your pot.

If there's any kind of food in it, the pot can never reach 500 degrees, so no worries. If you put the empty pot in a fire, it would destroy the seasoning (black coating) and you would need to re-season. That won't harm it, just gives you another chore to do.

I use mine directly over wood coals outdoors I assume is over 400 degrees and its never caused any problems. I always let it cool down slowly on some sturdy pot holders and pre heat it a little before putting it over the coals.

I think I read somewhere that you shouldn't put it in an oven over 450 degrees.

I would assume so as it can be used in the oven. Just not over direct flame. (I haven't tried it)

The Lodge Logic website says it is "safe at high temperatures". To me, 500 degrees F would be safe.

Although I personally have never used it at more than 400 degrees, I know that there should be no problem. Happy cooking!

i do not recall if I have ever used it with the oven set at 500. Probably not because I prefer low to very low temps for roasting. I suspect it would do quite well at 500 or higher. It seems to be well constructed and has proven to be very durable. It is the best rack I have used.

I'd have to see the application.. I wouldn't use it near a completely open flame but if draped over something as an insulator without being in contact with the flame I wouldn't see why not...it handles the temperatures from my Firebox with ease and only slight discoloration..

The Product page says it can be used in an oven, up to 350 F. However, because of the rubberized handles, I wouldn't try it.

I used at 450 - no issue. I am sure it goes to 500+ - they probably don't want to state for legal reasons. Its cast iron - probably would take crematorium type heat to melt. I used over BBQ grill for pizza - no problem - just don't touch without gloves!

the pan can handle much more that 500 degrees, but the season will burn off and you will need to re-season it.

Can be, yes, just make sure it doesn't have direct contact with an open flame

We use it at 425° - 450°. It's stone/ceramic, so I think it would be OK since it was probably fired at a way higher temp than 600° when it was manufactured.

It can be used as a dutch oven in the oven at temperatures up to 500 degrees. I have enjoyed using this and would recommend it to anyone.

I would not recommend it. It is nice outside for looks. It gives off a little heat but could not be used to keep warm. Open fire in an inclosed area is not a good idea.

Yes, this pan is oven safe to 500 but not intended to be used in broiler. This is a very nice, heavy weight, substantial pan. I love it so far. Hope this helps!

I don't remember the manufacturer's recommendation, but we have had our oven at 475`and 500` without any incident whatsoever. Though we have never moved it out of the oven while it is that hot. Hope this helps you out. Patricia
