What is the maximum temperature at which I can use this pan safely? Is it oven-safe?

I use it frequently at 300 -- no problem -- but haven't tried higher temperatures because I did not have good experience with another brand which claimed to be safe to 450.

It says it is safe to 350 degrees and I believe Cooks Illustrated said the same.

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 Grandma 4. Looking at The Lodge web site and referencing this exact skillet: "Knobs are oven safe up to 400º F". I find the lid to be adequate albeit a little flimsy in feel. I know it's dishwasher safe (talking of the lid, now) but I don't know if I'd personally trust it in a 400 degree oven. Hope this helps. Also hope we can find out what happened to Grandmas 1 - 3. :)

I only used it at 400 degrees, I believe they said 450, it was an excellent pan for muffins, breakfast muffins etc.

Disclaimer - I have not used it in the oven. The handles are have a rubber or possibly silicone coating. Best move is to check with Calphalon to see what they recommend. For oven use I would look for a pan with an all metal handle. Calphalon marks it as oven safe to 400F http://store.calphalon.com/simply-calphalon-nonstick-12-in-everyday-pan/298884

I think amazon must of goofed on saying it was only oven safe to 400. I have had my pan for quite a while and I bake my pizza's at 450 and have never had a problem.

Pulled from "Google" internet search site http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/588767 - - "Over 450F and you'll start to burn off your seasoned cure. But the iron itself is good up to about 2000F. It's practically indestructible in home ovens (though if you make a habit of subjecting it to extremely high heat it will need to be re-seasoned). The warning/max temp you read may have been referring to enamel-coated cast iron pans, which aren't supposed to be used at temps above 400

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've never used this particular piece in the oven but I also have the skillets and have used them stove top and oven. I have had the temp up to 450. Sorry I can't be of more help. I will say that these are wonderful pans that do live up to their non-stick, easy to clean claim

I have also used it in the oven, normally between 375 to 425F. It's great for searing on stove top and finishing in oven.

If using in oven, most ovens only go to 550 if lucky. But since this is a Chicago style pizza pan, you would cook it longer and lower temps, in the 400s. As long as you put some oil on the pan, it will be fine and won't stick.

It is indeed oven safe to at least 350 degrees. I use this dutch oven quite often, in the oven and on my stove top. It is one of my favorite pieces of cookware because it is so versatile.

This is an excellent pan! I don't know if there is an upper temperature limit; but, for the money, I think it would be worth trying. Good luck!

Yes it can be used in the oven. I have 3 of these pans. One is 4 years old the other two were purchased this year. I have at least 3 recipes where I go from the cook-top straight to a 450 degree oven to finish cooking. The oldest pan is still as good today as it was when I purchased it.

It says "Oven safe to 450 degrees F; not broiler safe; not dishwasher safe." I've had no problems up to that temperature.

Yes! I cooked in the oven @ 350 degrees. Oven safe up to 400 degrees. I love this pot! My favorite thing to cook in since I got it. Great value for the price.
