Are the handles plastic or silicone? Saw that the silicone handles can be used in oven up to 450 degrees, but plastic only to 350.

I'm not sure. They state they can be placed in the oven but I've never placed them in the oven. I don't have any reason to. I like the pans to much to find that out

I believe Austin Ed had the best answer to the question he asked. The pans with the red temperature indicator have the softer feel (silicone) handle and the the literature (tag) included with mine said they were oven safe to 450 degrees. I tried it with a recipe that called for 425 in my gas convection oven without a problem. I'm less sure about the hard plastic handled T-Fal pan but I don't think they would mislead you if it weren't true.

Their silicone. So, yes they can handle the oven temp of 450. It's shocking though, cause the grip they have feels great.

Most handles that are on stove top pans allow you to bake at 350 degrees. So if you don't want the handles to melt, keep the temperature lower.

Yep. I have been using mine for months. I've put them in the oven, too, just never over 350 degrees. I love them. I bought the glass lids, too. Just perfect. And I bought the larger, two-handled pan as well. Both of my adult children want a set for Christmas. (I don't put mine in the dishwasher.)

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 taken a Dutch Oven by the handles out of a 450 degree oven with no problem. (Using 2 gloves).

So far I've used them up to 450. Just to be clear I put them on the handles before taking the pan out. They didn't stay in the oven while the food was cooking. They are so much easier than clumsy hot pads or oven mitts. I bought them for my sons homes as well.

According to their brochure it is oven safe and the handle can withstand up to 350 degrees F. I have not tried using it in an oven.

Hi Joshua, I'm speculating here, but you can find a spec sheet for santoprene, which it appears the handles are made out of, here: http://www.cellulardevelopments.co.uk/rubber_materials-santo-preme.asp If it's resistant to 110 decrees C, that's around 230 degrees F, which isn't very hot when it comes to oven temps, but is above the boiling temp of water. If it doesn't melt, you might get an icky chemical smell from the heat, but who's to say? Someone who owns this item may have a different response, but I'd vote to not rest the handles on the edge of a hot pot at least for any length of time. Silicone handles might be a better option - I have several cooking tools made of food-grade silicone and that stuff is GREAT - you and stick it right on a hot pot, in hot water, etc. and no reaction whatsoever. Hope this helps a little - I just saw the date on your question and you may have already sorted it out by now! :-)

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 really don't know because I have not used them as yet . I have the same question when I realize that the handles are not made of metal. actually I will not be putting my pots in the oven . Hope this helps Enid

Packaging specifically lists safe for stovetop & microwave cooking. Also safe up to 425 degrees, so I believe they are safe for oven use (similar to my silicone cupcake vessels which are oven safe).

I think you can. Like most silicone cookware, oven temp should not exceed 350.

i thought the instructions said around 400 degrees for frying, so if you want to use the cookware for baking you should remove the handles and everything should be fine, i have not baked anything, but i sure do love the cookware.

I put them in a 450 degree oven and they are fine. Of course there's a funny smell and they look a little crinkled coming out (just kidding). Anyway, I'm gathering they are silicone. Pizza is intended to be cooked on pretty high heat and it is described as a pizza pan.

I believe since they are for a stove top, that they would not be suitable in the oven. The plastic handles would most likely melt.

The handles look like some kind of plastic material. Ours works great on the stove, never thought about putting them in the oven. Good luck

Farberware handles are oven-proof up to 350 degrees but they do lose their shiny appearance in the oven and become dull plastic.
