Is it safe to put the inside ceramic pot in the oven for heating things up ?

I haven't tried that, so I really can't say. It heats up quickly & I usually just put it on high to heat things up.

Never had a reason to put in oven since it cooks our bacon so perfectly in the microwave, however, I do own several pottery pieces and they are oven safe, just can't put on stove top.

Inside of pot is ceramic. It is really great pot. Looks so nice on the countertop.

It should be fine, especially if you use the oven lid to keep the heat from escaping around the dutch oven. You will also need to use the heat diffuser plate to support the pot, and it should fit right down inside it. I've heard that dutch oven cooking is best with charcoal or wood, but I have had good results using propane on a very low flame.

I've only heated it in the microwave, which works great. The instructions say nothing about a conventional oven. My guess would be that it would not be safe.

I would suggest that it may not be safe because as Stavros mentioned there may be metallic substances in the glaze or the ceramic. And neither have I tried it in a microwave - like the others. I only use it with hot water from the kettle and I hand wash it.

Yes. The pot is nice quality. You could put it in the stove. But I have not done so. It is beautifully finished, and I would like to protect the finish.

Yes it is safe. Make sure to place it over the burner which is closest to the size of the base of the pot so heat is directly under and not around sides of pot. Also let it cool down before washing it. You will absolutely love it.

I don't know why there would be , if there is, I don't see how it would affect the food while cooking . I don't believe it could penetrate the ceramic pot.

If you look at the bottom (outside) of the pot, you can find information on where you can use the pot (gas, electric, etc). It does not say you can put it in the oven. You can probably use it in the oven but you might not want to. The pot has a shiny finish and any baked on food will probably be very hard to remove. That might not harm the pot but it will be quite ugly. Of course, the lid should not be used in the oven at all unless you are just warming (not more than 200 F) food.

I have read that you shouldn't put pans with non-stick surfaces in the oven. On the other hand, considering that I use this on gas fired burners the localized temperatures easily reach oven temperatures. It is made of heavy aluminum. I personally wouldn't have a problem putting mine in the oven to finish something off. However, it does not say "oven safe" on it anywhere.

I wouldn't chance putting the pot's in there there, however I did use one of the bowls in the oven because it had no handles on it and it was perfectly fine.

Disclaimer - I have not used it in the oven. The handles are have a rubber or possibly silicone coating. Best move is to check with Calphalon to see what they recommend. For oven use I would look for a pan with an all metal handle. Calphalon marks it as oven safe to 400F http://store.calphalon.com/simply-calphalon-nonstick-12-in-everyday-pan/298884

I have put a hot pot or a tray out of the oven for 5 seconds (because the handles were too hot) and it was fine. I don't remember if it said in the brochure that it was heat proof. I would probably not put a hot pot on it for a long time, though, just in case. It's been 3 months since we refinished it and it looks great.
