Why on earth would you not be able to use this under the broiler, or over 450?

I didn't even know not to do that. I have used it in a convection oven @ 400. it worked fine. I can't say in the future I'll remember not to use at 450. I love the pan. cleanup is a bit cumbersome because of small grates but I use this pan alot. good luck

I am not sure why but it appears that the cooling rack can be used up to 350 degrees. As to the broiler, perhaps it is because of the aluminum. I have not used this one under the broiler not even my neighbor. If it requires 450 what are you making, I will suggest using another pan such as Farberware or Good Cook which are inexpensive and work fine even under the broiler.

I have not used this pan for this purpose. Perhaps the pan will warp. Why don't you just try it and find out.

It might be a tight squeeze. I really bought it for the depth for small lasagnas, etc. For whole chickens I would use a larger vessel to let air circulate around it (& possible add veggies). Hope this helps

Hmm. I know you can use it on all different stove tops and in the broiler but not a certain maximum high temperature. Because you want to heat the pan up rather slowly before cooking I personally never have to use a really high temperature when cooking.

It depends on if the rack is stainless, chromed stainless, or nickel-plated stainless. Straight stainless can definitely go under the broiler. Nickel-plated stainless cannot. And *some* chromed stainless can. Unfortunately neither the description here nor the item packaging specifies which of those this rack is. And, while it's uncoated in the sense that it's not non-stick, enameled, powder-coated, or made with other *visible* coatings, it very well may be chrome- or nickel-plated. I've baked on it, up to 475°, many times--and I've had no problems. Sorry to not be of more help.

I have used it both at 450 and another time under a broiler. They are really great.

I think I read somewhere that you shouldn't put it in an oven over 450 degrees.

I have set these up in the broiler for 5 minutes. Which was well over 450 degrees but not for a long time. Hope that helps a little.

I used at 450 - no issue. I am sure it goes to 500+ - they probably don't want to state for legal reasons. Its cast iron - probably would take crematorium type heat to melt. I used over BBQ grill for pizza - no problem - just don't touch without gloves!

You do not want to use these in a broiler. They are meant for outdoor grilling. The wood smokes a lot so you don't want to be using them inside your home.

I have only used in in the broiler...and it warped after 2nd use. I doubt it could handle the heat at any level. I would look for something else it's a cheap product and not worth the money

I have several recipes that start on the stove top and then call for finishing under the broiler. I do this all the time, BUT -- I do not believe the pan was intended for this purpose. Obviously, you have to be really careful because the handle gets dangerously hot. And I know I'm probably shortening the life of my pan. So it just depends on your tolerance for risk. However, the recipes turn out great and I have not, as yet, ruined the pan.

Answered earlier - but if you do put it under the broiler be very brief, for a quick browning of food only.

I have not tried broiling anything in these, but there is notice on bottom not to use in broiler.

The previous answers were correct. The shelf with baskets clears our cabinet doors by about 2" and the top of the upper basket is 24" from the floor. Many ovens have a handle for a bottom broiler and that clearly would not work.If it works for you it's an excellent solution. Good luck.

It can't be left inside the oven while the meat is cooking . The housing and view plate are not designed for extended exposure to high temps.

I don't think you can use any silicone sheet under a broiler. They can be used up to 475 degrees I believe and broilers are hotter I think.
