Is this knob heat resistant to 500 degrees?

Hi Lynne, Sorry but I do not know and have never tested it either! I suggest you contact Le Creuset.Either way, be careful in your kitchen!PF

I've put it in an oven of 425-450, but never at 500. Hope this answer helps.

The information on Amazon is wrong. This is the Signature knob (the better one) that can go up to 480 degrees, not the cheaper knob that taps out at 375 degrees. I ordered one hoping it was the better knob and it is.

I have never baked bread at 500 degrees but I am sure it will withstand this temperature. My son does "cowboy cooking" over open flames and this cast iron holds up to the extreme heat. I would be careful about changing the temperature too quickly because it could cause the cast iron to crack. My dutch oven was well seasoned and I have really enjoyed it.

My new knob came from Le Creuset. It is larger and stronger than the original and I like it. I have baked bread in it at 425 degrees with no problem, but only a few times.

not exactly. the gasket is not compatible with the 375 degrees it will experience in an 80% efficiency residential furnace

The first knob says " Simmer" not sure what temp that is but after that the next one is 220 degrees. Simmer is probably closer to the 100 but cannot be sure. It is goes up to about 450

I have been above 300 degrees, but don't know about 500. The probe should be ok, as long as the gauge is not too close to the oven. I have not been disappointed with the unit yet!

I gave this as a gift so I dont know for this brand. I routinely cook large cuts of meat for short periods at 500 degrees in my personal cast iron cooker without any issues.

I am not positive but I think I read on the internet that most are high-heat resistant up to 500F. Good luck.

Yes, I think they are good to up to 500 degrees.. work great.. I set mine on a cookie sheet to stabilize it.

Good question and one best suited to be answered by the Mfg. I have no idea as to the resistance to heat.

Don't know. I have a wood stove and the surface it sits on is normally in the 300 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit range.

It is ALL non-stick CAST IRON. Heat will not effect it. However, I don't cook at 500º, so I cannot address the temperature part of your question, I have used it at 450º..

you would need to ask the company. I cannot think of a recipe needing temps higher than 500 degrees.......at least none I use

ive gotten it up to 500 degrees. the dial goes red at 500 degrees, so i havent gone over.

on the paper that came with them it says "High Termperate Resistance < or equal to 500C /932F"I've used them on pretty high stove heat with no problems, but haven't used them in the oven yet.

I have used temperatures as high as 425 with no problems. I wouldn't hesitate to use 450 with this pan.
