Can the pot be preheated in the oven to 500&deg;F like the others? What about the lid?

I have done so on occasion; I rarely go above 450F, and it works well for me. I have not had any issues with the lid performing differently than the rest of the pan. I try not to use the leaf as a handle if I can avoid it. Hope that helps.

The metal pans are oven safe to 500 degrees, but the glass lids are only safe to 350 degrees.

Sorry. I haven't cooked anything at 500 degrees. I usually just use it for chicken or turkey in a 350 degree oven. If you want to glaze a ham I would pull out the probe first, add glaze and then put it in a hot oven for a few minutes.

I use tinfoil in the oven and the lid on the stovetop. Since I do not trust "knobs are oven safe up to 400F", I never tried the lid in the oven.

I wouldn't. The lid handle is heat resistant but it's not clear how much heat it can take. I know that with high-heat frying the utensils quickly melt and I wouldn't take a chance heating the lid in the oven unless you replace the knob with something metal that can handle the oven temperatures.

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. 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.

According to the pamphlet, the stainless steel pot is oven safe up to 350 degrees and the lid up to 270 degrees. I have not used it in the oven, only stovetop.

Yes they can. I just called Neway, the distributor, and they said: The pots can go in the oven to 500 degs, and the glass lids to 350 degs. So, I can use them to cook a slow roast or stew with the glass lids on, because it is cooked low and slow.

No. It doesn't work like an oven. And any slow cooker recipe will specify to cook on low, medium or high for a specific amount of hours.

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

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. :)

Kate, in my large repertoire of pans and lids, I haven't found one that fits well, this pan is for frying, you could use a screen over it if it spits oil on the stove, but usually you should have the heat turned down low enough to eliminate this.This pan cooks well with low heat.I ended up getting the 5.5 quart French oven which I like a lot better than the frying pan.You can slow cook anything in this pot and it comes out flavorful and tender.I know I got off the subject of the lid, because I couldn't find one, but the French oven is wonderful.

Definitely do not put the lid in the oven, as the plastic will likely melt. The glass parts are oven safe, and I have used them in the oven to warm up leftovers (~300F for 10 min). However, I would not recommend them for extended use, as they are not as heavy duty as a regular bake ware.

I have had my set for over a year and still love it. Yes you can use these pots in the oven, they withstand the high temp well and because they are so heavy hold up and heat evenly with less heat. I often have oven temps of 350 - 400 degrees, often recipes will call for reduction of 25 degrees. I don't let the lid heat past 350 degrees for any length of time, but I generally don't bake with lids on. Hope this helps!

I have put mine in the oven, but I used a foil lid cause I didn't want to risk the glass/plastic of the lid which also fits other pans I have. The lid handles are a bit flimsy.. but the pot itself should be no problem.

I wouldn't put this type of pot in the oven - and the lid is glass, definitely do NOT put that in the oven.
