Heat resistance. Will it cut a pan of hot cornbread?

From what I can tell, it is polypropylene and so should have a melting point of around 320 deg F (up to 340, depending on the quality). So if you use on cornbread straight out of the oven, it might deform, but if it cools at least a little, the knife should be fine. I understand that many heated plastics do release harmful chemicals (although I'm not sure about polypropylene specifically).

Never used it on cornbread, but used it on several pans of hot brownies and cakes. I have no doubts it would do just fine.

I'm sure it would without any damage to knife. I've not tried it. But from just handling the knife it seems like it would be very durable. If its' contact with the heat is simply cutting a food, it should be fine.

Absolutely. I don't know the heat tolerance level officially but it is a fairly thick material and would work fine for cornbread as I used it for brownies and cakes All the time!

Pamela, did you ever try this? I'm also interested in whether it will crack if I use a pan of water to make steam for artisan bread.

It does stick to my oven & it can be cut, BUT I'm not sure if it can handle high heat. I'd be afraid of it melting or catching fire.

I believe it would ruin the service of the pan. I would not use a knife on it.

no not really, but you need to make sure you let it cool completely as removing it from the pan while it's hot will make the bread stick. You can also just put a think layer of PAM if you want.

Hmmmmmm.... I wouldn't immediatly after. Maybe give it 5 or so min?!? I am not sure there would be anything heat resistant that would do the same job!

I'm guessing it would but I don't know for sure. The point of it is that it uses the induction to heat itself up so that it becomes a hot burner. My issue with it is that it didn't get hot enough for what I want but for Corningware I would think it would be fine. Don't know for sue.

Hmm...guess I missed that. I have regularly heated it to 500 and used it on the bbq even hotter. I doubt that you could harm this pan with any home appliance.

From my use, it is heat resistant. I have used it to mix sauces and gravies that are boiling/bubbling. Of course I would not suggest leaving it in a pan of hot food, but for the purpose of stirring it up, it does great and I have not had any melting of the product.

I dont know, I dont think the metal could tolerate that much direct heat. I use it as a dishpan. Good Luck.

Yes, absolutely. No knowledge of fire resistance. We actually saw it being used at a commercial cook out! We love ours!

I'm sorry but I really don't know. I've only used it on really thin resist that didn't need much heat. I do plug it into my reastat so I can control the temp if that is any help.

I've used this set of Chicago Metallic pans, all the way to 450 degrees baking, with no problem, do use the 500 setting on broil, to brown the tops of cornbread, or biscuits? I've had other Pans by this same Co., for at least 25ys., although they are a little heavier, than this set, still no problem, whatsoever? I Enjoy this great brand of pan! I usually do biscuits on 450 degrees all the time, and have used these several mo.'s now, and no discoloration, or warping! Hope this was helpful!

No. The only problem with this pan is you cannot cook on a high heat. If you scorch the material, it will lose its non stick ability.

I believe it should work just fine. Just watch your temp at first until you very familiar with the pan

I always grease the pan as I would any bread pan, except that it doesn't require as much grease because the bread releases beautifully every time. I haven't used cornmeal yet, but I would bet money that it would work just fine.

I would buy the pan again. I just warn that you must not use heat higher than medium or you will burn your food. This pan conducts heat very well and I am pleased with it.
