I want to use a pan like this for Yorkshire pudding. Is there an upper temperature limit?

This is an excellent pan! I don't know if there is an upper temperature limit; but, for the money, I think it would be worth trying. Good luck!

Not sure, but I think it is below 350 degrees Fahrenheit. look up on, google ceramic cookware

My induction unit runs by low, medium, medium high, and high with temperature increments in five degrees in each range. So I don't know the equivalent of an 8 or a 9. I would suggest you check your induction unit's instruction book to find which of the settings equals a medium heat and don't use a higher heat. The pan is safe at an oven temperatgure of 400 degrees fahrenheit. I got the feeling from the use and care recommendations that they are concerned with keeping the shiny, shiny finish pristine and beautiful. My cookware gets used hard. I use reasonable care, but I don't get all finickly about keepin it "for pretty". I plan to use it on low to medium, but I'm not going to fret about it. It's a pan for cooking ooey, gooey, sticky, messy things. It's not going to stay out of the box pretty. I would worry more if it were a non-stick interior, but it's a metal finish. So I'm just going to enjoy it. Good luck.

Depends on a lot of things. The pan I use will stay at about 120° on the lowest setting if I stir the food continuously.

I baked some Tandori chicken in it at 475 and it left burn marks on the pan that I am unable to remove. So I say keep it below 450.

Nope, not even at high temperatures. I love this pan so much I bought another!

Heat should NEVER go too high for too long...all pans have chemical treatment, that releases at high temps, not good for the food or the human.Hope this helps.

Directly from the ScanPan website: http://www.scanpan.eu/shop/iq-fry-pan-1/11-28-cm-4 they state that it is overproof to 260 °C. (260 °C = 500 °F) You can check at the website for any other technical data.

Yes the pan should be fine @ 500 degrees. I use mine @ 475 degrees. It's a solid heavy pan. Made to last years and years!

Absolutely. That's what I have. This is a fantastic pan. Just don't overheat it, i.e., don't heat it up to 500 degrees, although that's so much higher than necessary, anyone heating up a sautee pan to that temperature is probably doing so because they're not paying attention, not doing it on purpose. If your oil is smoking, turn down the gas!

No. If you want temps this low you can purchase a griddle that has a warming pan which is usually right under the regular griddle. This does not have one. This makes great pancakes but always be sure and spray lightly with oil even though it is non-stick.

Like Teflon-coated pans, ceramic coated ones should not be used above medium heat. They are great for cooking egg and other "delicate" dishes using low to medium-low heat. To cook meats where higher heats are desired, I would recommend going back to your iron skillet. Higher heats will rapidly degrade the coating's non-stick properties. We have a ceramic pan of a different manufacturer that is several years old. The surface still feels smooth like the day we bought it, but there is no temperature low enough to keep eggs from sticking and sticking hard. Kind of ruins the omelet!

I have transferred this pan to the oven many times to finish a dish and it works great every time! You can use it in the oven up to 350 degrees. I love it!

Pulled from "Google" internet search site http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/588767 - - "Over 450F and you'll start to burn off your seasoned cure. But the iron itself is good up to about 2000F. It's practically indestructible in home ovens (though if you make a habit of subjecting it to extremely high heat it will need to be re-seasoned). The warning/max temp you read may have been referring to enamel-coated cast iron pans, which aren't supposed to be used at temps above 400

I don't see why not. It is all about managing the heat. I would be cautious with overheating the pan with the Teflon coating above 400 degrees but I doubt you would ever need it that hot. This is a great griddle, we use it all the time.

It's safe to 500 degree Fahrenheit. I have used in the broiler many times w/o a problem as well. A very good pan, probably my favorite!

Haven't done that...the entire pan's going to get pretty hot, I think. Seems if you could control the heat some, it could work. Just don't know.
