Has anyone used this when cooking steaks or chops in a cast iron pan on the stove or in the oven?

I used it on a london broil in the oven and the barbeque and got excellent results. As specefied in the directions; you need to use a little care to route the cable away from open flames.

Absolutely. We have used several of our cast iron frying pans AND our cast iron dutch ovens.....no problem at all. The stove is super strong and durable.

For both... You can sear with the grill on a higher position or you can use pots and pans or skillets on the lower setting of the side burner grill...I personally have used it for both and it is great!! I like to fry my chicken wings outside as to not let my entire house smell like the oil and I also sear my steaks on the side infrared burner

I have not used it on a stove top yet so I really cannot say. I have used it in the oven several times to bake bread, for casseroles and to roast meat and I now will not use anything else. I have cooked roast beef, pork loin and chicken and when done the meat falls apart. I actually bought my first one from Costco and when I went back to buy a second one a week later they were sold out. So I bought my second one from Amazon for double the cost but was worth it.

I have a whole set of cast iron pans, and they work wonderfully. With the gloves on, I held the handle of a heavy cast iron pan with one hand and placed my other hand on the bottom to steady it all the way across the kitchen from the stove to the sink: absolutely no sensation of heat whatsoever. Incredibly amazing. I am not afraid to handle my cast iron with the gloves whatsoever. I hope this helps!

I do not place it inside another pan, instead I put it on a cookie sheet with non-stick surface. Never tried beef but did make chicken / vegetable / baking dishes. In general I am sorry I bought it. I switched to pyrex glass dishes and use HIC occasionally when I cook / bake too much and run out of pots.

I have used it on cast iron and have not had any adverse effects. I use my regular dish soap, rinse well, dry with a towl, and then let it heat and completely dry at a very low temperature. Occasionally I re-season the pan.

I have put it in the oven for 5 or 6 minutes to finish off a steak, but not longer. I can't answer if you could do a casserole because I haven't tried.

I have used mine both on top of the stove and in the oven. I've heated it on the stove with oil to brown a roast, but I wouldn't heat it up empty. Maybe in the oven at a low (200 F) temperature, but not higher.

Yes, given my experience with the DeBuyer pan, it can go in the oven. I often sear steaks on both sides, then finish the cooking by placing the pan in a 350 F oven.

Yes. We seared some steaks and then put the pan straight into the oven to continue cooking.

Yes, I am a country firl, we season our skillets by cooking fatty food" bacon" in them. a metal spatula will scrath the pan, wood is better and once seasoned try not to use dishsoap if at all possbile. rinse with water and put it on the range and dry" turn on the fire till the pan is dry. or dry with a cloth but sometimes using just a cloth doesn't dry it correctly and rust can appear

I have also used it in the oven, normally between 375 to 425F. It's great for searing on stove top and finishing in oven.

This works well seasoning/preserving cast iron. I've been using it in my skillet for several years.

Never happened to me. Only problem was heavy weight which I knew before buying. Never ever even came close to burning. I did find out that it took almost no power to keep the pot on a very low simmer/boil. It was #2 on my stove that goes from #1-#9. I turn on high to brown/sautee steak pieces and onion. I then turn on 6 to bring up to boil and then way way down to #1 or usually #2 to cook for 4-5 hours ( dried beans ). Hope this helps

I have used it in the oven and on the grill extensively. I have no concerns.

I only use it on top of the stove but love that the handles do not get hot no matter how high the heat. As it is cast iron I would imagine it is good for the oven, but I would check with the manufacturer about use in a 450 degree oven.
