Do I need to use a lower temperature with these pans as with other non-stick?

I'm finding that my cakes are getting done more quickly, so I'm testing a few minutes before the suggested finish time. Maybe lowering the temp by 25 degrees would have the same result.

I just made a cake today that said to use 350 "or 325 for darker coated pans", so I used 325. HOWEVER, 5 minutes before it was to come out, it did not look anywhere near done, so I had to turn the oven back up to the normal 350. Therefore, I would not consider this a "dark" coated pan, and will use 350 from now on with it. The coating is more of a silver color, not black or dark gray like some others. Hope this helps.

I have baked cakes at normal temps and it comes out perfect using regular time.

No, you don't need to use a lower temperature. I baked using the same temperature as I would other pans - non stick or otherwise. Usually if the pan is dark, I lower temperature by about 5 deg C. In my 20+ years of baking experience, the temperature of the oven does not need changing due to the non-stick surface.

Depends on a lot of things. The pan I use will stay at about 120° on the lowest setting if I stir the food continuously.

No, but I rub the bottom with a little oil, and it helps things not to stick.....I didn't want the coating that is used in non-stick for health reasons......cooking at a lower temp and stirring often also helps with the "sticking" problem.

I use these pans for all sorts of items. I often make eggs with no crust and with a non-stick cooking spray they work quite well. You need to oil them after the first was in order to "season" them anyway so the cooking spray just adds to that. I have never had a problem with anything sticking to these.

The pans and handles are all stainless so they should be fine, but i'm not sure about the non-stick coating temperature limits. I would call/e-mail/google cuisiinart. We have all cuisinart pans and they are excellent++. If you don't need the non-stick coating you could use their un-coated versions. Hope this helps. Regards, Peter

Yes, if you mean 'are they safe to handle on the stove without getting too hot?' Sometimes, they may get a little warm, however l I have never gotten burned by the handles. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the set for several months but I now have trouble with sticking. I am not nearly as happy with the set as I originally was.

I absolutely love these pans. I honestly never used them in the oven, but I don't see why not. I dont think 500 is a good temp to use, but moderate should be ok-350 to say 400. Any temp under 350 should be fine.

These are the best non-stick pans I have ever owned. We followed the instructions that came with them. We don't use very high heat, just medium high. I cook on a gas stove. I really don't understand the question "will I be allowed to use the stove with these?" How else would you cook in them....

I use these for baking all the time. I usually bake around 350 to 400 degrees. I also use these on the grill for grilling meats, potatoes and vegetables. The grill temperature is between 325 and 425. Hope this help. I love these pans! Bake & toss. No messy pans to clean.

I would say they are 90% nonstick. When you're cooking always remember to not use high heat. The pans do much better.

I don't know because I've had these pans for a few years andnothing has ever stuck. After cooking, I allow the pan to cooland then wash it by hand with hot, soapy water and a non-scratch nylon scrubby. No problems and my pans still looklike the day I got them. Just a hint - you don't need touse high heat with this cookware as once it heats up itholds the heat very well and a lower heat setting can beused with optimal results.

I love the pan/s. I have now purchased three different sizes of this pan. They are great. You will only have a problem cleaning them if you cook with the heat on high. Never cook with the temperature on high. Never use any metal spoons, forks, etc. I have had these pans for several months now, and remain non-stick.

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

They are EXCELLENT, but don't force them. I've used them on the CHEAPEST non-stick on high heat (because Pakistani food is cooked on very high heat) and its been fine:) Happy cooking....

I don't know, but the point is to get them seasoned so that you don't need non-stick spray. That said, you will want to use some oil each time you cook. It's not a fat-free experience like Teflon can be (at least for the few weeks before the Teflon gets scratched and goes bad).

I use a little oil and they work great, have done for several years. They aren't totally non-stick like new Teflon but that's a trade-off I'm fine making.

Oh..forgot to mention.. Never pre heat this pan on high..As with all non stick...It will destroy them.. Read the directions and save the warranty card !
