Usually, fresh pizza needs to be cooked at about 450 degrees. Can this pan handle that high of heat?

I often cook pizzas at 500 degrees. Anyone ordering this pan will see why it does not warp at high heat. It is very solid.

I use it at 400 degrees with a thin crust. I have a Viking , which I find runs a bit high. Always put a sheet of aluminum foil under perforated pan....cheese can drip over sides on to your stove, if you over load! I have two of these pans and would buy them again...nothing sticks to them, very easy clean up.

Hi, yes, this pan can definitely handle that high of heat. It's very heavy & well made.

Definitely! I cook my pizzas at 450 all the time and this is the only pan that has never warped. The pizzas turn out perfect with a crispy crust and a melted topping. I love this pan!

I cook at the 500 degrees for pizza..but when baking breads I preheat only to the temp I will be using which tends to be in the 400-450 degree range. I guess it would bepend on what you are baking.

I haven't had my oven thru a winter yet, but I would imagine you could, you'd just have to allow additional time for heat up and perhaps even cooking. Currently on medium I cook a pizza in 5-8 minutes depending on how much stuff I put on top, so I would venture to say that cooking on high would be close to the same with temps in that range. We get that low here where I live and it will get tried this winter!

That would be a good question for the manufacturer. I would not hesitate to put it in the oven at 450 but most recipes do call for lower temps. This the type bakeware my mother used for everything and why I purchased it rather han spending a hundred dollars on other types. Be aware though that it does not come with a rack for the bottom.

As long as you aren't using a cover with a plastic knob, your good to go at any temperature. It's the covers with plastic knobs or handles that govern how high the temp can be in the oven. If using the pan, I wouldn't hesitate to have the oven at 450 degrees. If you have a cover with a plastic or acrylic knob, you can replace it with a metal one and have no worries about the oven temperature. Hope this helps.

Yes. On the bottom of the pans it says "oven saft to 450 Degrees" Hope this helps. Betty

I do not see a problem with that as long as you keep the wind off it. Mine will reach 900 on a hot day, but I have found that 900 is to hot to cook a pizza in this oven. Mine come out good at around 700-800. At 900 I completely burned one up. This oven takes a little practice to get use to baking with it. I believe my review will help you if you buy the proper size peel for this item. I had trouble with my dough raising to much causing it to undercooked in this oven. I have ordered a pizza docker. Which does not pierce the dough, but rather pinches it together like the two side of a quilt. This helps keep the dough from raising to much when baking. Hope this helps you!

I would buy the pan again. I just warn that you must not use heat higher than medium or you will burn your food. This pan conducts heat very well and I am pleased with it.

I have not used it in the oven yet but i think it is supposed to tolerate up to 450 degrees

I have used this pan for items requiring a temperature of 450 degrees with no problem whatsoever. I use it all the time. I even bought a second one to use for those occasions where you need more than one pan of this size.

It will go over 1000+ degrees. I use an infrared thermometer and hit the top and bottom stones. You can get them over 1000 degrees if you need to. I use a metal pizza peel to cover the opening after I put my pizza in, and have baked pizza at 900 degrees. It took about 56 seconds.... and yes, it was awesome.

I used at 550 f and it could handle the heat and as it had a wooden handle no problem in handling the other plus point when compared to a wooden peel is that you can take out the stuck pizza or bread from the stone without difficulty

This beautiful pan is ok in oven up to 350 degrees. It lives on top of my stove for other cooking. I love this pan!

for 2 years I have used it at 450 and have hardly seasoned it, it is a great pizza pan!

The paperwork that came witht the pan specifically says "it is not recommended to exceed a baking temperature of 450 degrees. Because USA pan bakeware conducts heat efficiently, we suggest monitoring the oven temperature and baking time for the first few uses and reduce time and temperature as necessary."

as hot as your oven can get. It will handle the heat, but make sure to use a thick pot holder when taking it out. I burned my hand through a thin pot holder.

Oh I love this to help me remember how to use this pan! I believe you can broil, and have the heat as high as 500 degrees.
