Would this pan be appropriate for roasting/broiling vegetables (bell peppers, zucchini, eggplant, onions) - or would it get too hot and scorch them?

I've never used it for that purpose, but I think it would do fine. It's a great, versatile pan!

Not sure. I'd be very cautious about putting hot pans on them. If the pan is 'hot enough' it might scorch????????

Like any pan, it will be hotter where the heat source is, it does disperse pretty well though. I would recommend the lodge cast iron griddle instead. I have both and the lodge is easily my favorite

this pan can be used in the oven for roasting. as far as broiling, only on a lower position setting inside of the oven. if set too high, it shall not onlt splatter hot gresse all over the oven, but it shall also damage the coating on the inside of this roasting pan. there is a difference between a broiling pan and a roasting pan. i don't use mine for broiling.

I use olive oil and medium to low heat on things that might stick. I do not make eggs in them...they will stick. My son does though and he says it is OK. I use higher heat on anything that will not stick, like sautéed onions, mushrooms and so on. I like these pans for making soup and vegetables.

I don't know I have never tried. I strictly have used it outside on the grill when making the onions & shrimp for fajitas. This is a heavy cast iron pan. I would think you could use it anywhere. If an open flame does not hurt it I dont see how using it in the broiler would.

I have never roasted tomatoes. This rack elevates whatever you are roasting about 3/4" from the inside bottom of your pan, so if you would like space between the tomatoes and the pan, this would do it. I agree that it would work best if sprayed or oiled first, because it is chrome plated, not non-stick. I wouldn't hesitate to use it for roasting tomatoes or any other vegetable, as long as the that vegetable was large enough not to fall between the bars.

I don't know if there is a max temperature limit on these pans, but I roast vegetables using them all the time in the 400-450 degree range with absolutely no problems. They clean up easily with hand washing and look as good as new!! I LOVE these pans and have given a set to everyone in my family!! I do not use any kind of spray oil on them -- applying oil with a paper towel when I desire a little more protection than normal to make cleanup even simpler.

Hmm...guess I missed that. I have regularly heated it to 500 and used it on the bbq even hotter. I doubt that you could harm this pan with any home appliance.

Wow, I didn't have that until after I used the pan to burn onions for a recipe, and that was after several years. I use that pan as a backup now as it's still very useable. Read your guarantee to see if there's anything about the special use and cleanings, otherwise, I'd try to see if the guarantee would cover it.

Since it's made of silicon it's probably good to use while cooking. If you have a gas stove and the flame comes around the side of the pan, the temp may exceed 500 degrees and it may scorch.

No. The only problem with this pan is you cannot cook on a high heat. If you scorch the material, it will lose its non stick ability.

Hi Kim, You would be fine. As other users have said, the contact is minimal to none and exposure time is very short. We have a long history of happy customers using in much hotter settings, including Big Green Eggs at 750 - even wood fired ovens. Just keep reasonably away from flame. Gary@EXO/Super Peel

Yes you can. It is very versatile and easy to do everything in one pan. I have used it to saute vegetables for soup and brown pot roast before cooking it.

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

That was excellent to-the-point information that I understand -thanks! Is this a poor choice of pan for foods that benefit from high-heat searing then?

I haven't used it on high heat because I haven't had the need. It works just fine on Medium and Medium High. It is such a well made pan that I doubt there would be a problem.
