I see they are heat rated for up to 450*F, that seems quite low for silicon. Can they take &lt;= 500*F for short periods of time?

Yes! I normally bake roasts at 500 F for a short period of time and have never had a problem when I've had to take the roast out to check it -- while at the 500 degree temp. Hope this helps. All I can tell you is that they are by Far and away the Best mitts I've ever used -- and I've been cooking and baking for decades!!! :)

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.

I have never tried using them on a heat source. Don't think I'd want to. I'd like to keep them shiny and in optimum shape for measuring tools.

These were not 'high quality', meaning that they can have micro bubbles and fractures and/or temperature stress. If you expose them to high heat and they have a flaw, it will break. The price of these dictates that the are not tempered, or anything else that would give reasonable durability and/or temperature resilience. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

I'm sorry. I don't know the precise temperature. We use them to melt the vinyl resist that we use on glass sandblasting projects.They do that very well. They will burn paper and wood but will not ignite either. Hope that helps.

This is strange. I didn't experience any exceptional heat. What voltage are you using. They are supposed to be fed by 12 Volt.

Yes I have used them before and they do show a little heat when they have been running for a long time to reach temp. It should not however be super hot or smell hot. But, some heating is normal As long as you are within the 240v limit and no more than 10 amps all is fine. If you are using a normal 240v then you would be at 10amps. Hope this helped. If not get a hold of an electrician and check the heating circuit. This unit should handle it

I have used ours in the microwave to heat food and they appear to work just fine. I haven't left them in the micro for more than 2-3 minutes.

They are not heat resistant and cannot be used while the pan is hot. Warm, sure, but not while hot. I melted one of mine slightly due to the pan being too hot while scraping.

I didnt try it yet for hot stuff.. But should be ok, because it made from silicon..

You would need a rather large amount of amps to reach that temperature. I would recommend getting these from a different source for the temperature you want. These may be cheap but they aren't very good quality.

I have silicone mats for baking that are safe to 500F in the oven, so if these are indeed silicone I don't think the heat would bother them. It's possible that the glue keeping the silicone attached could come loose, though.

I have only used them for brief heating of leftovers. They didn't get especially hot but they weren't in for very long, just a couple of minutes.

Whether a cookie sheet or pizza stone, it should be fine, and won't melt as long as you follow the package directions to not heat your oven past the burning point of the actual silicone. I think that's 425 or 450 degrees. These are great!! I use them everyday and even bought two more packs because my Mom and Nonna wanted to steal mine ;)

Manuals are available online. The bottom of the silicon should tell you the temperature it is able to withstand.

Yes, I think they are good to up to 500 degrees.. work great.. I set mine on a cookie sheet to stabilize it.

I had mine on at an event for up to 8 hours after I first got them and they never seemed to get too hot. If you feel they are getting too hot you may have a defective unit.
