Can this be put in the oven to be used as a dutch oven?

I never personally did it but I would be afraid, it would be all discolored on the outside from being in the oven.

It can be used as a dutch oven in the oven at temperatures up to 500 degrees. I have enjoyed using this and would recommend it to anyone.

This is from Cuisinart's manual for MultiClad...Cuisinart® MultiClad Pro Stainless Cookware can be used in the oven without damage. Naturally, the handle as well as the pan will become hot. Use potholders to prevent burns. The cookware can be used in the oven at any baking temperature up to 500°F and can go from burner to broiler to table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet.

I just looked on Chefs web cite and they say it is oven safe...to what temperature I do not know.

I believe it is oven safe to 450. I don't think I would go that high. Should work well as a Dutch oven. I love it. very even cooking. Makes great chili.

I don't know why not. there's nothing plastic on them that would melt or anything. I know I used to put my Revere Ware Dutch oven into the oven without incident, although I do prefer cast iron for that.

I haven't used it as a Dutch oven, but I don't see why not. There is nothing to burn or melt on the unit. My only concern is that the lid and higher portion of the sides are steel and may not transmit the heat quite the same way a Dutch oven would - I think it should work fine

I don't see why not, we use ours in our oven (in our home) all the time now!

Yes, you can use it in a real oven..........My granddaughter did recently use it in their oven........She loves it, but I just thought that the baking pans would be a bit larger....

The pan is painted on the outside and has a poly-resin type handle opposite the pan handle, so I would NOT recommend it be used in the oven.

I wouldn't do it in the oven. The pan comes with a very thin "plastic" like coating on the handle and it might get damaged or something. It's very easy to season on the stove top. I use mine almost every day for pancakes, eggs, french toast, grilled cheese etc....

Unfortunately no. It has a coating on it that the oven temperature could possibly damage. I thought when I purchased it i could but when it arrived I knew it wouldn't hold up in the oven.

I don't see why you couldn't. There is nothing on it that could melt. I only use mine for stock and it is the perfect size for that. I really love this piece of cookware. May be a bit thinner than most Dutch ovens so could brown more around the edges.

Hi Winnie,Yes, this cast iron skillet can be used in the oven. Just be sure to use oven mitts when removing it from the oven because it will be hot!

I wouldnt. It will take the heat...but it is not designed to work this way as far as I can tell...it would work in the oven ok...works GREAT on the BBQ

I don't see why not- cast iron is cast iron. I put this on our dutch oven, inside and out, every other time I use it and it works great! My dutch oven still looks brand new. As with everything that is cast iron- don't use citrus cleaners or hard chemicals, as it will remove the conditioner (essentially oil) in the cast iron that protects it from rust.

I don't see why not... I assume that you've got induction hobs in that "glass" cooktop and all they require is that the pot is magnetic and cast iron is. Note, you can heat things very fast with an induction hob so don't overdo it and ruin your dutch oven.

My guess is yes you can. I have had it on 425 I did not have a recipe that called for 500 degrees, I looked at the pamphlet that came with the dutch oven and it mentions so limit on cooking so I think you can. There is a customer service contact number which you may want to call. 800-497-4959. Good Luck! I love my Dutch Oven!

Nope. It's not sturdy enough for Dutch oven. Otherwise, I love it for grilling.

As noted by others, I can't see any reason it can't be used in an oven. It might pay to place it on a cookie pan/sheet which would catch any drips.Jim

I do not see why you can't use it in the oven. It is porcelain and you are able to put the porcelain items in your oven! I just wouldn'twant to go to high a temp, maybe like 350-375. Good Luck.

The modern aluminum Dutch ovens are more often used for stovetop use only. The reason is because aluminum does not hold the heat as well as cast iron. You can still place them in the oven, but you will need to check them more often to make sure your food is cooking to the right consistency.Most dutch ovens are aluminum and though they can cook in an oven they are really made for the stove top. The cast iron utensils work much better in oven and distributing the heat more evenly, resulting in a moister dish and less chance of burning.

I would not use it for frying as the hot oil expands and there is not high enough sides, also the non stick coating can not take such high heat. Use your dutch oven to fry.
