Can these pans be used in the oven? Will the handles survive the temperatures?

I really can't speak for the lids, they are glass so I wouldn't try it.Forgot to post this ans with my other one.

I absolutely love these pans. I honestly never used them in the oven, but I don't see why not. I dont think 500 is a good temp to use, but moderate should be ok-350 to say 400. Any temp under 350 should be fine.

Yes they can. I brown my meat on the stove and then put the pan in the oven for cooking.

i thought the instructions said around 400 degrees for frying, so if you want to use the cookware for baking you should remove the handles and everything should be fine, i have not baked anything, but i sure do love the cookware.

I don't see any problems at 450 temperatures or above. These are good heavy pans. (Heavier then the average.) They should last a long time.

These pots and pans are not designed to be put in an oven. They have rubber on the handles. They are however a great deal for a set of pots and pans.Thanks xxxj155

I have used them in my oven. I did not go over 375 degree's. I love them. I have every size.

Disclaimer - I have not used it in the oven. The handles are have a rubber or possibly silicone coating. Best move is to check with Calphalon to see what they recommend. For oven use I would look for a pan with an all metal handle. Calphalon marks it as oven safe to 400F http://store.calphalon.com/simply-calphalon-nonstick-12-in-everyday-pan/298884

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

Not sure. It's a Christmas gift, so I can really try it right now, but I see no reason why not. On a low heat at 250. They claim they are stainless steel, and we put stainless pots and pans in the oven.

I believe the handles are oven safe to lower temps, but they are designed for waterless cooking on the stovetop. Putting them in the oven would defeat the purpose of these pans.

The handle is made of plastic, but I vaguely recall a statement on the package that the pan might be used in the oven up to a certain degree (maybe ~375 F). I could be wrong, so if you're concerned about this, you should contact the seller for further clarification.

I have no problem with the handles heating....I love these pans...especially how great they clean and stay like new....this plus cook perfect...the BEST!

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

I have had my set for over a year and still love it. Yes you can use these pots in the oven, they withstand the high temp well and because they are so heavy hold up and heat evenly with less heat. I often have oven temps of 350 - 400 degrees, often recipes will call for reduction of 25 degrees. I don't let the lid heat past 350 degrees for any length of time, but I generally don't bake with lids on. Hope this helps!

I don't believe that they can because of the handles. Some of the "high end" pans have removable handles, I have never tried to remove these for use in the oven.

That is a great question. I have not used it in the oven, as yet, and I have a brother who has two of them and he has not used them in the oven either. I think they are supposed to be oven safe to a certain temperature and beyond that, the plastic handle can melt. I usually use iron skillets and glass casserole dishes in the oven.

I, too, gave this set to my future daughter-in-law as a Christmas gift so I would not be able to answer this question from personal knowledge. Although I believe that the cookware is safe to use in the oven and that the handles are made to withstand the temperatures, I would not use them in the oven because I would not want my cookware to be tarnished from the heat. But that is just me.

The handles look like some kind of plastic material. Ours works great on the stove, never thought about putting them in the oven. Good luck
