Does anyone know if the handle is oven safe and if so to what temperature?

I have not placed it in the oven, but I do not think it is over safe. It is easy to use and clean and does a good job keeping the splatter in the pan. I have tried others and this is the best one I have used. Hope this helps.

I bought this when it was $9, it came with a few dented spots, not a big deal for the price. I am feeling the handle & it feels rubbery, might be silicone which is oven safe, but not sure...I would ask Calphalon. Another note, grease still spatters & condensation forms on the underside, I am giving mine to my son to use as a pizza paddle.

Hi Grandma 4. Looking at The Lodge web site and referencing this exact skillet: "Knobs are oven safe up to 400º F". I find the lid to be adequate albeit a little flimsy in feel. I know it's dishwasher safe (talking of the lid, now) but I don't know if I'd personally trust it in a 400 degree oven. Hope this helps. Also hope we can find out what happened to Grandmas 1 - 3. :)

No the handle is plastic but I love the pan. If you need oven safe, get a skillet. I use both every week.

To tell you the truth, I've never tried to put it in the oven. I don't know that I would try since the handles seem to be some sort of molded plastic &/or rubber.

My experience is that they were only useful for mildly warm handles. Definitely not oven safe! I ended up purchasing some Le Creuset brand that are far superior but not oven safe either.

I don't recall (I gave mine to my granddaughter) but I seem to recall the handle was all stainless steel. If so, you're good to go - in or out of the oven.

You can, but I would think you would want to clean the handle from time to time. It has a heat tolerance of around 400 degrees F or so, it would survive most stovetop temperatures, but I feel it would last longer and stay nicer if it was just used to move a hot skillet rather than stay on it through heat and cool. Your question is one that I feel it would be just personal preference as when to use it.

I only use mine on top of the stove. I am sure you should NOT put it in the oven as the handle would melt.

My Vollrath set is entirely in stainless steel, including handles so I suppose everything to be oven-proof but I have not tried it.

I would recommend following the guidelines for oven use. I've never tried it myself but another person has answered that it's safe up to 400 degrees. Take into consideration your particular oven if you intend to try that, since temperatures vary in degrees of heat.

No, but the handle had no problem holding up to the 450 degree heat while wrapped in a towel and heavy duty foil while seasoning in the oven.

I have not had reason to expose the handle to different heat than the scraper. It does okay when I leave it on top of the oven.

I have used it briefly under the broiler to brown cheese omelets...it works perfectly. I am not sure about in the oven for a longer period, and do not know what temperature the handle would take.

I have a new one on hand I haven't switched to yet, so I was able to look at the packaging and it doesn't say. The handle is like a hard plastic material, it reminds me of the knobs and handles on my scanpan, le creuset and like, which are all approved for the oven with the lowest maximum temperature of 375 out of the different brands. So it should be, but I haven't tried it.

I have not used this in the oven. I think it would ruin the plastic handles. Google it before you try it...

I don't think it would melt if left in the oven, however it would also be 400 degrees.. Totally defeating the point of its purpose. It works great for cook-top use. you can leave it on the entire time. As long as its not on a very small pan, where the handle is over the burner, then it will get too hot to handle. The handle will not burn or melt with reasonable use, but it will get very hot if exposed to the burner or left in the oven. Just common sense.
