Are the tops heat resistant (aka hot serving plates or hot cooking plates w/feet?) Thank you

Yes, a hot plate wouldn't be a problem, a frying pan straight from the stove might.

They are a metal...not commercial grade. The lids are thin plastic. There are 3~ 2 1/2 Qt dishes. hold 20 ~ 4oz servings. I read all the reviews and was very hesitant on getting them. The dial did smoke, I turned it on and ran it for 10 min, turned it off let it cool and turned it on again and it was fine. They struggled keeping the food real warm, it was just warm. I ran them under hot water to heat the dishes before I put the hot food in, that helped. It did the job, not the best purchase. I hosted Thanksgiving and needed some smaller dishes, so I bought these. If you entertain a lot, I would make the investment in a better quality product. I hope this helped!

They are very flimsy. I personally would not use them for that. At best,you would a need napkin to shield the heat.

I use my set on a ceramic top stove and they're fine. I find the saucepans are very flat so there is little rotational problems, some skillets are fine but there is slightly more rotation on the flat burner but it hasn't been a problem for me. I've never noticed a heat distribution problem in either the saucepans or skillets. All in all, I highly recommend this set.

Depends on what you mean by heat proof. It is a plastic pot, so it will melt if you try to burn it. If, however, you are asking about standing up to heat and sun, the answer is yes. I live in Tx and they weathered the TX summer just fine. Note I have only had them for a year.

Yes they are , plates are about 12"x10" , it heats up fast just dont forget to disconet after using it , hope this helps

They are very sturdy and can hold a lot. I've not had issue with hot food on them. I have been told they will hold up in the dishwasher but not personally tried that!

I would say that they are, although Ive never put them in the dishwasher. Silicon is designed for hi temp use, so the hot water and drying cycle shouldnt be a problem. I would go top rack to be safe.

Yes they are heat resistant and no need for pot holders. The handles have a rubber like coating so makes them easy to grip and yer fish fryin' easy!!

They are EXCELLENT, but don't force them. I've used them on the CHEAPEST non-stick on high heat (because Pakistani food is cooked on very high heat) and its been fine:) Happy cooking....

the thickness of the bottom of the pots is not tooooo thick. they have a nice weight to them, but they are not too heavy. I have a flat top stove and I haven't tried cooking on gas with them. They are perfect. I cook a lot. I have burned stuff on them (my negligence) and they clean up great. I was making caramel with sugar. I BURNED SUGARD, A WHOLE CUP. the pots came out clean. I washed them by hand and it wasn't hard to clean up. I love these. I use them everyday. I'm buying another set soon for my daughter.

Funny, I thought I read they were heat resistant but I don't see it in the description now...I have left mine leaning in a pan on the stove though, because I thought I read they are heat resistant. I have not had any problems with the handle leaning on the edge of the hot pan/pot. I find them to be very sturdy and love them. I use them all the time.

Water and heat RESISTANT not water and heat proof!!! You would not want to set a baking dish straight from the oven Directly on the table as it would wrinkle the cover some. This is a very nice pad and I am going to order a second one for another table. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

The lids are clear glass. They have very high heat levels. I cook on a ceramic cooktop and they do beautifully. Have never put in oven, but I think they are very heat resistant. I absolutely love love love these pots and pans! The best I have ever owned. Have you checked Analon's website?

Yes they can be left on the stove top if the oven is on. The feet are silicone I believe and the top is tempered glass. You can set hot pots on them or trays right out of the oven on them. They are really nice. I love mine.

I'm not sure. I bought the dishes to use for serving but understand they can be used for baking. Just remember, if you do bake in them they will be very hot!

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.
