Our 20+ yr old Pampered Chef stone cracked. I am looking at this one as a repl. Is there a maximum safe temperature?

I don't remember the manufacturer's recommendation, but we have had our oven at 475`and 500` without any incident whatsoever. Though we have never moved it out of the oven while it is that hot. Hope this helps you out. Patricia

I don't remember the maximum temp if it even suggested one, but I used it in my charcoal webber grill to cook pizza on and it's super hot inside and have had great use out of it so far.

All pizza stones are rated for over 500 degrees, the max most residential home appliances go up to. They generally crack if placed in the oven cold after it is heated to temperature. Thicker stones allow for more heat absorption and therefore are less likely to crack. I cracked two thinner pampered chef stones, but it was mainly due to user error.

Helli Linda - Bakeware is safe up to 450 degrees. Do not use under the broiler. Cooling rack is safe to 350 degrees. Do not use under the broiler. Hope that helps. Mike.

No, the moisture will cause it to crack at some point. A baking steel would be better for that.

I don't know what the highest temperature it can stand, we have only used it in the kitchen oven for pizza and usually have the oven set for 400 degrees. My guess is that even thought your grill showed 550 if the stone was sitting over the direct heat of the burners that temperature would have been higher. I would also suggest that the stone be pre-heated.

Good morning Janice,At some Rock Quarry for for away. I had to be humorists at least about it. Anyway I really am not sure and may have been China for it has know markings and I trashed the papers on it. I do know it is a work of art and if you buy it that sucker is heavy so best call a crane company for assistance. If your going to leave it in one place you will be all right but moving it around may get old quick. We use it for setting our crock pot and Dehydrator on that reaches temperature of up to 400 degrees. It is so far well worth the money and sure you will like it. Hope this info helped.

Yes, make sure you put it in the oven when you preheat the oven. And make sure the stone is completely dry otherwise it can crack

it's been right at 9 months, and it still looks new. of course one thing i do is use teflon spoons and spatulars, and my hardest thing to remember is to not put a hot pot in fridge, as the instructions tell you could crack the stone, which does make sense. but i think it would have to be straight off the stove, then cooled to fast. i am well satisfied with my set.

I've only done upwards of 500 but it should be fine, provided you heat it while you heat up the grill. If the grill is at 550 and you toss the cold stone in, it could crack.

I use a high-temp silicone spatula. It can reach 600 degrees. OXO Good Grips Large Silicone Flexible Turner

We have always used it in the oven otherwise the stone is too hot to deal with. Don't forget your pot holders.

The Le Creuset website states that stoneware can go in the oven. The maximum oven-safe temperature is 500°F / 260°C. But this isn't a garlic roaster. This is just to store garlic in to keep the garlic from getting moist. Personally I wouldn't try putting this in the oven, especially not with the lid on it.

I believe it is oven safe to 500 degrees F. See Cuisinart's manual under the Chef's Classic collection here: http://www.cuisinart.com/share/pdf/manuals/cookware.pdf

silicone is good up to 500 degrees F - sugar at that temperature would be way past caramel. You'll really love the smooth surface - no lump from the hanle to snag your stuff.

I have not yet baked anything in my new cookware, so have no personal experience. My first thought would be that even though the handles on the pots and skillets will withstand up to 400 degrees, I would be hesitant to expose the glass to that temp. Try contacting Circulon directly. Sorry I'm not of much assistance.

I rinsed mine fully under warm tap water, patted it dry with paper towels and then dried it slowly in a 200 degree oven for 2 hours. After that I took it straight away and put it into a 750 degree BBQ "oven" and made excellent NY pies on it. Congrats you have a great stone, just remember it needs AT LEAST an hour preheat due to it's extra thick size.

GraniteWare is glass fused to steel at about 1500 degrees F, so it won't have any problem with oven temperatures.

Hi Leticia, We've been trying to get a contact e-mail and preferably a phone number since last week. We can definitely help you get squared away, but I want to spend a few minutes troubleshooting what you're doing now so we can correct it. The oven will easily get up into hotter temperatures than you are achieving now, but that will depend upon fuel (chunkwood) selection and how you are monitoring the stone temperature. Can you contact our customer service line at 206-438-3587 so we can help you? Thanks!!
