What is the maximum oven temperature that can be used with pan? Some reviewers are claiming problems at 425 degrees. Is this true?

The highest temp I have had this pan at is 400 for funeral potatoes. I will tell you this pan is large and makes a wonderful lagsagna pan, mac and cheese and casserole pan. The clean up is so easy. The cooked cheese wipes out with a paper towel. It is truly non stick. I regret not purchasing more when I was able to get a great deal on it.

I gave this as gift,but think from experience with similar baking pans I'd use 375F max.for not more than 1 hr.Stainless pans can take higher heat but require added cleanup time,technique.

I have not used my pans in the oven. But, absent any notation to the contrary in their description, I would assume the lids are oven safe to 400 degrees, the same as the pans.

Are you using a regular home oven for baking? How high can you set the temperature? I'm pretty sure it doesn't go higher than 500-550, which should be fine. I can't imagine baking bread at higher temps than that anyway.

Easily up to 750F as most ovens never get that hot, no problem. All Clad and Calphalon are pans most of us chefs use. They have lifetime warranties and they will hold up to anything. I have seen these pans heated up to 750F and then thrown into a ice bath with no effect. Hope that helps....

Im not sure about the 800 degrees. I don't know of an oven that even goes that high. I would think that 400 is sufficient for most cooking needs.

It's really not good to keep this on the pan when putting it in the oven because it does get VERY hot. Experienced this first hand. Best to remove from the pan after putting it in the oven and then you can use it when taking it back out.

I have a 12 l/2 inch round pizza pan that fits in the oven and the standard pizza just fine. Like the previous responder, I haven't gotten the oven to achieve the 400 degree or 425 degree temperature recommended on the pizza box. This is something I definitely will experiment with, however, since cooking it longer in the sun oven might achieve the needed results--not sure it would give a crispy crust, however. I have had good success cooking meats in the sun oven, so I believe that cooking the pizza longer and using a cooking thermometer to assure doneness and food safety could produce good results. So, this is something I will experiment with the next time I bake a pizza. I have a 12 l/2 inch round pizza pan that fits in the oven and the standard pizza just fine.

The pamphlet from Calphalon says "oven safe to 450". I probably wouldn't trust it past 425 degrees. The cookware is not broiler safe.

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 used them in my oven. I did not go over 375 degree's. I love them. I have every size.

I sorry, I have no idea. There is nothing noted about temperature restrictions, but I would do it. It is meant for roasting, and the pan is very well made.

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

I've only used mine in the oven to keep stuff warm. But ... silicone bakeware (like a loaf pan I use all the time) is suppose to be good up to at least 400 deg. if not more. Can't imagine that this one would be any different. Product description says 460 degrees.

My guess is yes you can. I have had it on 425 I did not have a recipe that called for 500 degrees, I looked at the pamphlet that came with the dutch oven and it mentions so limit on cooking so I think you can. There is a customer service contact number which you may want to call. 800-497-4959. Good Luck! I love my Dutch Oven!

Maximum safe temperature is 450 Deg F. Personally, I've not used mine above 400 Deg, but love the pan! It's also great when reheating left-overs.

I never have but it's supposed to be okay. "Glass lids are oven safe to 350 degree F and polished Hand Anodized cookware is oven safe to 450 degree F". I've had my pan for over three years and use it a couple times a week. It has held up extremely well and looks almost brand new. I would definitely buy one again.

Yes the pan should be fine @ 500 degrees. I use mine @ 475 degrees. It's a solid heavy pan. Made to last years and years!
