Will the knob withstand the oven temperature?

I have not tried this item in the oven yet. The write up I read before buying said it was good to go in the oven lid and all.

Yes, it can as it is a metal alloy. Lodge's website lists: Knobs are oven safe to 500F.

I have used this cast iron pot in oven temps of 475 4 times for one hour each time. No problem with the knob.

Yes, it can as it is a metal alloy. Lodge's website lists: Knobs are oven safe to 500°F.
1999615
Yes, I have used both pot and lid multiple times in a 450 degree oven with no problem.
1999616
Yes, the only problem I have is forgetting its hot and grabbing it with my bare hand. When I remove the pot from the oven I always leave a potholder on top as a reminder.
1999617
Yes, with no issues at all. I have baked bread at 450 degrees with the lid and no problems.

I wouldn't. The lid handle is heat resistant but it's not clear how much heat it can take. I know that with high-heat frying the utensils quickly melt and I wouldn't take a chance heating the lid in the oven unless you replace the knob with something metal that can handle the oven temperatures.

Yes, it will fit nicely. My 5.5 quart round oven came with a medium size knob but I wanted to replace it with the large one for a better grip with oven an oven mitt or pot holder. The screws and threading are the same and it looks just fine on that size pot.

The original knob for the lower oven was broken upon arrival. (cracked through the middle), the replacement knob is keyed correctly but will not fit all the way in on the shaft so it stands further away from the stove. I have no other substitute.

The knob is typically phenolic, which is a plastic that tends to be strong and resists heat. Metal knobs are available from Le Creuset as an accesory...

I have never tried setting it in the oven, but I can't imagine why it wouldn't be as long as you have the oven hot if the insert is hot. I have read elsewhere that the insert can crack if you suddenly change the temperature.

So far, we've never put a lid with a replacement knob in the oven. We've only used them on pots on top of the stove.

I wouldn't try it. I would guess that the covering on the handle couldn't withstand oven heat.

I have used in my oven at 350 degrees. Can't imagine that it would be a problem higher. After all it is stainless steel.

It has a plastic knob-it's tempered glass and I have never used this sort of lid in the oven think the knob will melt for sure.

The pan will buckle / bend at higher temps. Otherwise it has been a sturdy & decent pan and has served us well.

I don't know for sure. I had the same problem when I first got mine but after studying the instruction book found that I had not set the knobs properly. ( I hate readinginstructions!) If it isn't a new oven and has been working, I'd contact DeLonghi Sorry I can't be more help.

I don't think so, the oven knob seems too small. And on the door, it doesn't take much for a kid to learn how to get around it.

The handle is constructed of a plastic. I would not recommend using at oven temperatures. I have used it at high heat on the stove top. But I have yet to attach the handle since I don't have a screw driver.

The handle will not be oven safe, so removing the handle would be sufficient.

Not that much. It's a type of heavy duty plastic that can stand oven temps, after which it is going to be hot to the touch.

We bought ours in June 2014, still looks great and even survived a move. The only thing that has "broken" is one of the knobs on the oven. The thing inside that makes it click no longer gives resistance, but my son spent a bunch of time just messing with it. The knob is still on and turns, it just doesn't click anymore.
