Description says safe in oven up to 500 degrees. Is that max temp it can survive or can it go higher? My gas grill gets up to 800 on a good day.

Really don't know. It is cast iron and not cheaply manufactured so I personally would say it could go higher but that's just me.

Pulled from "Google" internet search site http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/588767 - - "Over 450F and you'll start to burn off your seasoned cure. But the iron itself is good up to about 2000F. It's practically indestructible in home ovens (though if you make a habit of subjecting it to extremely high heat it will need to be re-seasoned). The warning/max temp you read may have been referring to enamel-coated cast iron pans, which aren't supposed to be used at temps above 400

Hi Grandma 4. Looking at The Lodge web site and referencing this exact skillet: "Knobs are oven safe up to 400º F". I find the lid to be adequate albeit a little flimsy in feel. I know it's dishwasher safe (talking of the lid, now) but I don't know if I'd personally trust it in a 400 degree oven. Hope this helps. Also hope we can find out what happened to Grandmas 1 - 3. :)

I have not cooked anything over 300 degrees but I think it will go up to 350 or 400. I try to keep the temperature at 250 most of the time.

I don't know. I have never baked/grilled anything that required 500º. It is a great oven. It heats up fairly quickly, maintains the correct temperature for foods baked up to 450º it's the maximum setting I have used. It is a great oven. I am glad I made the decision to purchase this oven. It has met my expectations.

I have used mine in the oven at 400 degrees to bake a German Pancake. It worked fine. Other than that, I don't know exactly how hot you can go. I know the marblized pan browns foods at a lower setting than other pans. I love the way mine performs. I've never had a better frying pan.

I haven't used it in the oven, but the manual says that it's oven safe to 500º. The manual recommends that you hand wash it. It says you can put it in the DW, but that it will discolor the outside finish and this discoloration is not covered under the warranty. I hand wash mine.

Yes, I've used it in my smoker, temps ranging from 225-275, on my grill, 300-500, and in my oven at 425.

yes it can go in the oven. There is no maximum oven temperature specified for the grill. It is all cast iron so there is no risk of melting phenolic handles. That said, I wouldn't exceed 500 degrees....

I think it is rated by Pyrex to be safe up to 500* Fahrenheit. Check with Pyrex website to be sure. Just be sure not to remove from oven & set down on granite countertop. It will explode!

As long as you aren't using a cover with a plastic knob, your good to go at any temperature. It's the covers with plastic knobs or handles that govern how high the temp can be in the oven. If using the pan, I wouldn't hesitate to have the oven at 450 degrees. If you have a cover with a plastic or acrylic knob, you can replace it with a metal one and have no worries about the oven temperature. Hope this helps.

I don't know if it goes up to 500 or not. I do know that it doesn't heat uniformly and that the temperature on the dial is low compared to the actual temperature. Example: Things tend to burn at recommended temperatures. The under grill warmer is useless. Other than that, I guess it's OK. I use it successfully but it takes some getting use to.

Yes. I've used mine in both the gas grill and kitchen oven. I run my grill at 600-700 degrees. I usually use my oven at 450 degrees. This pizza stone appears to be quite durable...

What is your question Judy? Are you trying to ask if the oven temperature that I use with the airbake is 500+ ? The answer to the re-phrased question is "YES".

I absolutely love these pans. I honestly never used them in the oven, but I don't see why not. I dont think 500 is a good temp to use, but moderate should be ok-350 to say 400. Any temp under 350 should be fine.

According to the Calphlon website it is oven safe up to 450 degrees F. I have put it in a 350 degree oven and the pan is fine.

I often cook pizzas at 500 degrees. Anyone ordering this pan will see why it does not warp at high heat. It is very solid.

The oven has a maximum temprature rating of 610 degrees Fahrenheit internal according to a sticker placed by the manufacturer. They have put a protective grill on the sides for this reason. The oven does get hot but since it is a metal style oven and it exhausts heat in the upper chamber it will not get up to the 750+ degree range that a traditional brick pizza oven uses but having such a large smoking chamber this oven is much more versatile. If you have kids around then you should consider appropriate supervision when using the oven for several hours.
