....advertised, my question is: does this oven reach its maximum advertised temperature?

I immediately sent the oven back - after trying it out without food. The outside got so hot that I was concerned it was not safe.

I don't know. I have never baked/grilled anything that required 500º. It is a great oven. It heats up fairly quickly, maintains the correct temperature for foods baked up to 450º it's the maximum setting I have used. It is a great oven. I am glad I made the decision to purchase this oven. It has met my expectations.

This has been a great oven. It does reach the maximum temp as advertised. I like the oven.

The top temperature it can display is 410 deg.F. Since the probe is in the food (not sitting on the oven grate), the oven can go higher for quite a while before the inside of the food hits 410...

Most non-stick coatings won't survive over 450 degrees or so. I think oven self-clean cycles are at &gt;500 degrees.

I make lasagna in it...so I will say yes it can...at 375° at least. That's what I bake at.

Yes. I set the oven to 375. The top reached about 180 deg. The left side was about 20-30 deg less than the top. The right side (where the controls are) just got warm. Hope this info helps.

Hey, Sharon...I haven't personally tested it out but, the TeChef website does state that the pan's handle is oven safe to 350 degrees. It's no doubt the handle that is the weakest link as the body of the pan withstands much greater temperatures. Hope this helps, Chris.

I've used it over my BBQ and measured the temp with my infrared thermometer at 900 degrees. The pan suffered no damage whatsoever, but the pizza was toast :-D. I've also preheated it in a 550 degree oven and got the pan to reach over 600 degrees dozens of times. No issues of any kind. I've since moved on to 1/2" thick A36 steel for baking pizzas just to get more thermal mass and heat transfer, but cast iron does fine if you know how to work with it.

Yes, I measured the temp. and it is not at all near that range. That's why I sent mine back!

The top of the oven is meant to be a plate-warmer, so not super well insulated. It gets hot. You're supposed to allow clearance around the oven (for the sake of it's electronics and ability to dump heat, the heat has to go somewhere, and this is true of all electronics. The sides or underneath do not get too hot.If you asking if it holds temperature well, it does that better than just about any countertop oven I've ever seen. You can cook pies or roast a chicken in it, perfectly. And it's fine on any counter or under a cabinet.

I can't say for sure about the temperature, but I see no reason why it wouldn't be okay to use in the oven. I haven't done that, though.

Depends on what you are baking or cooking. My oven goes as high as 500 degrees.

I have not used it in the oven but it does say that it is "Oven-safe to 450 degrees F". I would think it should work for most things.

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!!

I believe only external temperature. I found out about it because my boyfriend uses it in his work. I use it for room temps (ie. Is it hot in here, or is it just me?) Also, I just moved, and have a new oven, good for checking if the heat is correct, plus, it is just fun to check things (I think anyway).

I've used it in the oven at 450 degrees, and we've also used it on the grill probably closer to 500 degrees. It is great, and I've had mine for years. It got discolored on the grill, but still is a champ.

Yes - that is what I understand (I have not done it yet but supposedly and as 'Chefdjm' responded as long as you do not exceed the 200 degreesF)
