Are the black handles oven proof with temps upwards of 300 degrees?

I bought the pot for my daughter to use for canning. I would not use the pot in the over.

I wouldn't think so as they seem to be some type of plastic/rubber material covering the metal handles. Unfortunately, this item shipped with no pamphlet from the manufacturer which would give specs on this. Disappointing.

According to the pamphlet, the stainless steel pot is oven safe up to 350 degrees and the lid up to 270 degrees. I have not used it in the oven, only stovetop.

I have baked in them. I've never tested them out at a very very high temperature personally (just haven't had the need). But they've always performed just fine for me at common oven temps like around 350 degrees.

My experience is that they were only useful for mildly warm handles. Definitely not oven safe! I ended up purchasing some Le Creuset brand that are far superior but not oven safe either.

They can not be used in an oven. The handles are bakelite therefore they can not be placed in an heated oven. knight68

According to their brochure it is oven safe and the handle can withstand up to 350 degrees F. I have not tried using it in an oven.

Never had to test if the handles are heat proof. They do alright if you left it on the stove when it was on. I love these spatula's.

I really don't know because I have not used them as yet . I have the same question when I realize that the handles are not made of metal. actually I will not be putting my pots in the oven . Hope this helps Enid

The handles look like some kind of plastic material. Ours works great on the stove, never thought about putting them in the oven. Good luck

No, but the handle had no problem holding up to the 450 degree heat while wrapped in a towel and heavy duty foil while seasoning in the oven.

The description states the lid and handles are silicone, which can handle direct heat up to 500 degrees. You will not have a problem with a wood stove melting these.

Yes. The pans are safe up to 500 degrees and the lids 450 degrees. I've put my calphalon pans in the oven many times. The pan does come with care instructions . Hope this info helps

Hey, Sharon...I haven't personally tested it out but, the TeChef website does state that the pan's handle is oven safe to 350 degrees. It's no doubt the handle that is the weakest link as the body of the pan withstands much greater temperatures. Hope this helps, Chris.

I don't actually own these, but from the description: "Oven safe to 400-degrees F. " I'm only including this information in case others are reading this as I did...

yes i personally did a Google search they can go in the oven. I personally used them up to 400 degrees.

We have not used our pan in the oven, but I think it would be fine. The only "vulnerable" part would be the handle grips and they appear to be made of silicone, which in many cooking applications is okay to 500°.

For the most part, yes. With exception on the stock pot all are usually cool to the touch. With heavy use, the shorter stock pot handles can get warm. Obviously if placed in the oven, handles will be hot to touch.

Good question! I don't remember seeing anything in the literature that said they are oven safe. They have a plastic like insulating material on the handles that is quite heat resistant, but to what temperature I am not sure. With that said I absolutely love the set. I did notice a previous answer said they can only be used with electric stovetop, which is incorrect. They can be used on any Electric or Gas stove top (mine is an induction type and these things work great on it).
