Any issues with high heat for say searing streak?

For me, no -I have an electric stove and the heat doesn't go as high as a flame. I usually have the stove control set anywhere from 5-7 because it gets too hot otherwise. Hope that helps.

I have never had any issues with searing at high temps, infancy the cast iron is great for that!

I haven't had any issues. I think that is one of the benefits of cast iron.

Gregory, I have not needed to use high heat, I found that steaks sear well at medium heat, put your oil in the pan set the temp on medium and wait about five minutes for the pan to heat up, there is a lot of material there so it takes a little while to heat up. It may be best to ask Le Creuset about that one.Ron

High heat on any pan other than cast iron is not the best for them and your food.I have not had this problem with the handle getting to hot to handle.

I used at 450 - no issue. I am sure it goes to 500+ - they probably don't want to state for legal reasons. Its cast iron - probably would take crematorium type heat to melt. I used over BBQ grill for pizza - no problem - just don't touch without gloves!

! I can't think what kind of burners you are talking about, but no, I can't imagine it being flamable, tho I just use it on my wood stove when the fire is out. I was a little disappointed in it tho, as I was visualizing a polish I could buff to a shine, but it is a dull polish that does cover any rust.

I had NO problem adjusting to high or very low flame. I love this portable stove.

I have a gas stove and have used no hotter than medium heat. It definitely dispersed heat evenly. My food was evenly cooked.

No. It actually heats and rises to pressure quite quickly. I've used it on a low burner setting with no problem.

It says you should not. I left burner on low for a little too long with not much in pan and it did leave a discoloration. I am someone who used to cook on high and have had to adjust but from all I read you shouldn't be cooking on high anyway. I really am liking the pans. Ives vey surprised at how light weight they were and almost was turned off by this thinking they were cheaply made but I am really liking them.

No, they haven't for me. I do not use high heat, though. Medium high is best.

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.

I've not had this problem with mine and I've had it for awhile now. I've found it to be a good, high quality item. That said, I don't cook anything higher than medium heat.

I have had no problem using them on high heat. This is a fine set of cookware.

I have not had any problems with overheating and drywall being charred. We have three of these heaters in three rooms and have been very pleased.

Heat is kind of toxic for indoors. And as far as temperamental I've had no problems burns well.

I have used it on high heat on a ceramic top stove, and I have had no issues. I have mainly used the pot as a canner.

I haven't had any problems with the handle getting hot but, as with any splatter screen, I make sure the handle is not hanging over the heat (by being used on a too small pan). I am very careful when handling the splatter screen (especially washing) as the handle connection does seem fragile.
