Can you place the interior in the oven (at 500F for 30 min-1 hour) or on stove top prior to simmering in the cooker?

I believe neither of those options would be wise or healthy for the crock. Better to warm the slow cooker in advance of what you wish to cook, with an amount of water in it.

lower to recipe needs-preheating to 500 is only to get stone hot-hope this helps

You can set the cooking time in 30 minute increments up to 10 hrs. When the time is up, it will go to warming temp. and will stay in warming mode for up to (I believe) 8 hours. That keeps the food at a safe temp. You just want to make sure the food doesn't overcook.

put the stone in a cold oven, why are you preheating to 500 because of your recipe? No need to preheat to anything other than the degrees your recipe is calling for. Just remember to put the stone in a cold oven. Or it will break.

I put the crock, which is the pot that contains the food, in the oven at 300 degrees for about 10 minutes without a problem.

This cookware, with the metal domed lid, can be used in the oven at any temperature up to 500 Degrees Fahrenheit, and can go from burner to broiler to table when placed on a heat-resistant trivet. Please use potholders, as all sufaces of this cookware will become extremely hot.

What is max baking temp for this dutch oven including the lid --- 500 degrees??

If you look at the bottom (outside) of the pot, you can find information on where you can use the pot (gas, electric, etc). It does not say you can put it in the oven. You can probably use it in the oven but you might not want to. The pot has a shiny finish and any baked on food will probably be very hard to remove. That might not harm the pot but it will be quite ugly. Of course, the lid should not be used in the oven at all unless you are just warming (not more than 200 F) food.

Conventional oven, 350 degrees, about half an hour. Allow to cool before putting back in jar.

I generally only pre-heat a pan for maybe ten seconds, and I do eggs on medium (5 or 6). for soups, etc, I start at 7 or 8 then reduce to 3 or 4

As long as it fits in the oven, AND has some space around the pan, I have baked it. Unfortunately, have to keep resetting it after the first 30 min are up.

On the stove top--any temp. is fine. Cooks great, holds and distributes heat evenly. The pans are also oven safe up to 400 degrees.

I haven't tried, but the description says you can: "Oven safe to 500F, Glass lid is not suitable for oven use"

yes with lids up to 400F. i cook my meatballs on the stovetop for 18 minutes, pour in hot tomatoe sauce, than finish them up in the oven at 400 for another 22 minutes with lid. to prevent sauce from erupting all over my oven.

I've found that to brown things it is a good idea to preheat the pan (with lid on) before putting the food in. I usually give 2 minutes on high before doing chicken breasts, fish, or hotdogs/sausages. Otherwise the food is overcooked before it browns.

I did and it was super easy. Used Alton's recipe and baked at 300F in the oven, flipping half way through cooking. Want another one of these!

I gave this as gift,but think from experience with similar baking pans I'd use 375F max.for not more than 1 hr.Stainless pans can take higher heat but require added cleanup time,technique.
