Instructions say to only use on medium heat. Is this conservative? Has anyone used it on higher heat without damage?

I have used it on my lowest burner output (gas stove) on anywhere from a setting of six-eight. Have not had any issues.

You are better at reading directions than I am. I always use high heat to bring water to boil. Have used this way for 10 months without any problems. However, I immediately take kettle off burner when it reaches boiling. I imagine that using a lower setting to boil will probably make it last somewhat longer.

I never read instructions and have been using on high heat and working fine.

High heat is no problem. My previous kettle was used only on hi heat for 45 years, and there is no warning about hi heat on the new one I purchased. Is the one you currently have a Revere? It's a teakettle, for gosh sakes! You're supposed to use it on high heat ;) BTW, I currently have a glass top range, but have also had this kettle on gas and electric ranges. OK all surfaces that I know of.

The low (1) setting is cool enough that I can touch it with my callused fingertips and not feel the heat. The high (25) will burn hair without a protectant of some kind. I used Paul Mitchell's heat protector spray. I didn't use any setting lower than 12 on the finest hair, and I used tons of hairspray (one squirt while the hair was still on the barrel and another after I unwound the hair and glitter spray on top of that) to keep the curls through 2 shows a day. I hope this helps.

I deep condition with it, utilizing a "conditioning heat cap" , usually for 45 minutes on HIGH heat. I also utilize theEQyss Premier Cream Rinse and the Mega-Tek Pet Rebuilder. And I use my imagination with the rest, an egg, honey or other products(leave in so long, rinse out products). One product I use on my edges, is "Organic RootStimulator Hair Mayonnaise, It REALLY worked for me! I PRAY it works for you!

Or medium low. I never put diffuser on really hot burner. Started it sort of low then, only if necessry raised the heat gently. Maybe thats why it never wArped; much like cast iron fry pan i thought it sould heat gradually (especially since it held no "liquid". Does that help? Loved it. Also used to keep glass teapot warm on stove

I don't remember what they said in the directions. I always wash mine by hand. So maybe that is what the directions said. Watch how high your heat is with it.

My daughter uses only a very low heat setting. It is made of Synthetic fiber so I can not tell you how it would react to a higher heat setting. I hope this helps.

I used it just for exercise and it gets hot of course - I think is normal, just burning grease ! Of course use it moderate..

I havent tried but it is synthetic so it might ruin it if you do maybe on really low heat

Recommendation is to use med heat ... Pot is not big enough for high heat ... I've been using it on gas for a while now and no problems with melting as long as you keep the flame to the bottom part of the pot.

I have used up to medium high on electric burner most of the time. I did cook a steay twice and I used high to really grill char. Pan did fine! Cleaned right up.

Yes I curled mine on the highest heat setting, and then straightned it again, but like any normal hair im sure if you left it on for to long it will burn, i left my heat iron on my counter for to long and it burned that. It gets staticy though so use a light mist spray bottle to keep it down. But to answer your question yes! :)

I've had mine for a couple of months now, and I haven't had any issues. I always use low-medium heat.

I haven't had any issue with heat with mine. But I wouldn't use a real high heat with even heat protected

Good grief! No!I have had this set for years, but as with all good cookware you should never cook above medium heat. But in answer to the below comment, 'Bar Keepers' friend works wonders cleaning stainless steel.

Gregory, I have not needed to use high heat, I found that steaks sear well at medium heat, put your oil in the pan set the temp on medium and wait about five minutes for the pan to heat up, there is a lot of material there so it takes a little while to heat up. It may be best to ask Le Creuset about that one.Ron

The instructions say it may be used with low heat. I've only used it with high heat and love the results. Just make sure you have extra fabric to test it.
