Is the Circulon Dutch Oven oven-safe?

Yes! I use it on the stovetop and in the oven all the time. It is awesome!!

Yes. From Circulon customer service. "The comfortable silicone and stainless steel handles are double riveted for extra strength and oven safe to 400°. The shatter-resistant tempered glass lid allows you to monitor the cooking process without losing moisture or flavor."Oven temperatures go up and down, by 25-50 degrees, from the set temperature. Use an oven thermometer to be certain your oven does not exceed 400 degrees when using the Circulon Contempo products in the oven.

It is indeed oven safe to at least 350 degrees. I use this dutch oven quite often, in the oven and on my stove top. It is one of my favorite pieces of cookware because it is so versatile.

100% oven safe.I actually leave mine in the oven when using it for other high heat functions, such as pizza, with no ill effects.It's a solid hunk of cast iron with a steel wire handle.

I haven't used it in the oven, but the manual says that it's oven safe to 500. The manual recommends that you hand wash it. It says you can put it in the DW, but that it will discolor the outside finish and this discoloration is not covered under the warranty. I hand wash mine.

Technically, No. It does not have the usual "non-stick" coating you may be familiar with. Although it is not technically "non-stick," I have had no problems with it in the several times I've used it. I do a lot of cooking that requires sautéed minced/chopped garlic and chopped onion. As long as you use a proper amount of olive or other cooking oil and don't have the heat up too high you should have no real problems. That and proper stirring will keep your clean up rather easy (minimal scouring with a Brillo or such). It is a fine Dutch Oven with one drawback--the handles get a bit too hot for bare fingers!! ;-) It's good, use it in good health.

It is oven safe but the lid is not. The handles will get very hot so be careful. Great cookware. Love all my pieces!

If you scroll down far enough, you will see that it says "oven-safe to 350 degrees"

The pot and the lid are oven safe to 350 deg. (I checked my book to make sure)

Absolutely. It's the only place I actually use mine even though it is also oven safe.

I've baked in the base and broiled using the whole thing, and never had a problem. The last 2 I bought were gifts and I haven't heard anything negative from the relatives I gave them to.

I went back to the cupboard to give this pot a "going over" to see if anything would be wrong with putting it in the oven. I do not see anything that would prohibit oven use, if the oven is large enough. There are no pieces on the pot or lid which should melt at temperature. Handle for the lid is made from tubular(or solid) steel, as is the pot handles. The reinforcing band around the pot at the handle area looks to be steel. I bought mine for cooking pasta and for stocks (on the top burners), and I am very pleased so far. I would not hesitate to try the oven, if needed. There are no plastic or poly parts on the pot that I can see.

Hey, Sharon...I haven't personally tested it out but, the TeChef website does state that the pan's handle is oven safe to 350 degrees. It's no doubt the handle that is the weakest link as the body of the pan withstands much greater temperatures. Hope this helps, Chris.

I have about 4 brands of nonstick bakeware. The circulon bakeware are my only pans with minimal stains.

I don't believe so. When I had a 2-person household I had a lower quality Dutch Oven. I used it all the time for soups, stews, sauces. I wish I had had this then, as it spares you from hovering at the stove. Because of the even heat distribution, things won't scald/burn.Besides, making a large batch of soup, chili or sauce? Freeze a few quarts for later! That's how I survived Internship & Residency!!

I think it is oven safe but we have not used it that way at this point. Great price in any case...

I've had this pot for over 40 years and use it all the time. It has been on a hot stove for hours with soups, sauces, etc. and I seem to remember that it is oven-proof, but you would do better to talk directly with Farberware for an answer.

The pot is oven safe to 500 it says, but the lid is only safe to 350.....according to Cusinart.
