You can use them in the oven. I think a safe oven temp. is 350 I do not use a higher temp. than that. I am not sure what the handles are made of but I have not had any trouble. I love my set have not had any trouble with any of the pans

I would never put my Paula Deen stainless in the oven. I use my Cuisinart (heavy stainless with copper bottom) for the oven.

I am sorry but I gave these as a gift to my daughter inlaw and I am not sure how they worked.

I, too, gave this set to my future daughter-in-law as a Christmas gift so I would not be able to answer this question from personal knowledge. Although I believe that the cookware is safe to use in the oven and that the handles are made to withstand the temperatures, I would not use them in the oven because I would not want my cookware to be tarnished from the heat. But that is just me.

I've never used them in the oven, but they are safe in the microwave, which can heat up food to a fairly high temp. The lids are definitely not safe in an oven, but, I would think that the glass could handle lower temps. To be sure I would try contacting the company.

I havent used mine in the oven yet, so i am not able to advise. As per the specs, the handle is heat resistant Bakelight, so it should be able to withstand heat . I would advise emailing the manufacturer's customer service Dept directly. They should be able to assist.

Disclaimer - I have not used it in the oven. The handles are have a rubber or possibly silicone coating. Best move is to check with Calphalon to see what they recommend. For oven use I would look for a pan with an all metal handle. Calphalon marks it as oven safe to 400F http://store.calphalon.com/simply-calphalon-nonstick-12-in-everyday-pan/298884

Most handles that are on stove top pans allow you to bake at 350 degrees. So if you don't want the handles to melt, keep the temperature lower.

It seems as if the handle is ovenproof, but I have never tried it! Sorry I could not be of more help!

Yes, if you mean 'are they safe to handle on the stove without getting too hot?' Sometimes, they may get a little warm, however l I have never gotten burned by the handles. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the set for several months but I now have trouble with sticking. I am not nearly as happy with the set as I originally was.

I have had my set for over a year and still love it. Yes you can use these pots in the oven, they withstand the high temp well and because they are so heavy hold up and heat evenly with less heat. I often have oven temps of 350 - 400 degrees, often recipes will call for reduction of 25 degrees. I don't let the lid heat past 350 degrees for any length of time, but I generally don't bake with lids on. Hope this helps!

Linda, I looked at my skillets and no where on them does it say they are oven safe, and I have never tried. I do own the all stainless steel version, and those I have put in the oven before. Sorry not much help! But I LOVE these skillets!

Due to the plastic on handles and lids I would not use these in an oven; the plastic could warp or melt and cause burns or damage to your oven. There is a set available with steel handles which is supposed to be oven safe.

Unless the handle is heated in the oven...as with all handles...these handles will be cool to the touch while cooking on the stovetop. You will love this cookware style!!

Yes that's what it means. However, I don't recommend it. The pans have silicon-padded handles and while they can handle the heat, you'll notice they get sticky and soft when they get really hot. I'm sure it's safe but I also think it'll affect the long term condition of the set. For in-oven cooking, I recommend all-metal handles or just use a dutch oven. So, yes, you can use these in the oven up to 400 degrees but I don't.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

I have never placed mine in the oven. I hand wash them also to make sure they will last. They are the best set of pots and pans I have ever had and I really love them.

According to information attached to GreenPan FryPan I bought a year ago and love, "Oven and Broiler Use. GreenPan cookware is oven and broiler safe: Pans up to 850 degrees F/450 degrees C. As the handles are made of stainless steel, discoloration in the oven is possible. Handles will become very hot in the oven or under the broiler. Always use potholders or mitts to prevent burns............" So, yes, it can go in the oven!

I have never used one in the oven. Being made of Stainless Steel, It should be okay in the oven. The welds on the handle and the base should not break since it takes way more heat than the oven will produce to create the weld. The color of the colander may change depending how hot it gets, especially if whatever is cooking in it gets burnt. Other than that I cannot say. I can only speculate.

I have had no issues with the handles getting hot. I haven't really used the pot lids during cooking, so I cannot comment on that. I also have done much transferring from cook top to oven to finish off a dish.
