It does have the standard warning associated with non-stick that says to limit use to medium and avoid high heat. That being said, I also use mine for making fried rice and simply pre-heat on a medium heat, then once everything is in, raise to a high heat when I need to reduce the liquid. I think that helps prevent the pan from getting insane hot, but it's a theory and not fact.

Yes. I've been using it on my gas stove for two months with no issues. The instruction manual specifically says to use medium heat and even shows it on an open flame in the picture.

Not quite sure how "high" heat is defined by all, but I stir fry on high all the time and have never had a problem. That said, I only use the high heat briefly, or until I get the "crunch" I'm looking for.

Seen the top temp at over 730 degrees To hot to cook you will need to let it cool before cooking I use almond wood it is cleaner and hotter

I have put it into my oven, on low heat to keep contents warm. It worked well for that, I haven't used it at medium or high heat temps yet. I think it would be fine even on medium heat but I wouldn't use it in a hot oven. Hope this helps. It's a great piece, I love it!

It depends on the setting you have it on. The two times I tried to use it, it took around 2 minutes to heat up to medium high.

Dear Nancy, U can use any kind of pan, glass alumin, cast iron, etc. Use medium heat setting when N doubt. But let me tell , this is 1 of thee best investments I have ever made! N fact, I am going 2 buy another 1 for backup. Its great around the holiday. My preference has always been gas until my gas stove went out & I had 2 resort 2 this waring commercial stove top & now I don't even bother w/the gas stove anymore except for baking. Hope this helps U. Enjoy!

Honestly from my experience I wouldn't cook anything considered delicate. My burner is more low, medium and high it's difficult to be precise.

Hmm, never thought of that. My first thought was to say it would not be good for the smooth top, but I have a smooth top range and cook high temperatures in my regular cast iron skillets as well as my enameled cast iron cookware. Given that, I think it would be okay up to medium high. I wouldn't push it until you tried it out first!

Not sure I would recommend that high a heat. I have used it successfully to bake baguettes at 450 degrees F.

Small burners should not be used to on high to bring the PC up to temp, the PC might reflect the heat back to glass surface and break it. Your milage may vary, but I imagine if it was already up to pressure, you could use the small burner to hold it at that temperature, as it doesn't take that much heat to hold it at pressure. At your own risk of course.

If you have a gas stove, do not use the "high" setting. Medium is the proper setting. The "high" setting will absolutely discolor the pan.

Oh I love this to help me remember how to use this pan! I believe you can broil, and have the heat as high as 500 degrees.

Well theres different temperatures. The highest is 450. And thats really hot. So if you don't want that high keep it low

I would assume it is safe to use at that high of a temperature. Just make certain you remove the plastic lid as that is NOT oven safe.

It has the three basic settings of low, medium, and high. To really get some heat you will be better off leaving it on high.
