Can these be used in the stove hood or is cooking moisture/heat a problem?

The units will work in an enclosed environment, but heat beyond what self generated will cause premature failure.

I haven't used them in the oven. I've used them as lids for boiling things on the stovetop. I will tell you that the middle "star" part got really hot! I was surprised by that.

Good question! I don't remember seeing anything in the literature that said they are oven safe. They have a plastic like insulating material on the handles that is quite heat resistant, but to what temperature I am not sure. With that said I absolutely love the set. I did notice a previous answer said they can only be used with electric stovetop, which is incorrect. They can be used on any Electric or Gas stove top (mine is an induction type and these things work great on it).

Definitely. They are made of hard black plastic that encases metal handles on most items. Heat from normal stove top cooking does not effect them nor are they effected by the heat of a dishwasher set on high heat. The plastic does not conduct heat so I have found them to be easy to use without oven mitts (though I do not recommend this). I have not, and would not, put them in an oven without checking the Revere ware website since the packaging says nothing about this that I could find. I also know from experience that they are incredibly durable. I hope this helps! Good luck!

I suppose you could use them in an oven BUT they were made to be used on top of the stove placed over the burners. Some are made long and wide enough to be placed over two burners on one side of the top of the stove. They cook like a regular pan but will leave "grill " marks on your food as if it had been prepared on a regular grill. Hope this answers your question. For more information you can always "Google".

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 use my set on a ceramic top stove and they're fine. I find the saucepans are very flat so there is little rotational problems, some skillets are fine but there is slightly more rotation on the flat burner but it hasn't been a problem for me. I've never noticed a heat distribution problem in either the saucepans or skillets. All in all, I highly recommend this set.

Probably not your standard kitchen pans (I've never considered trying) because I don't think they're made to withstand that kind of heat. I would try cast iron.

These are safe for all heat sources,visit that factory website: http://www.all-clad.com/Pages/Collections/Stainless.aspx

I use them on my gas stove. You will find that the handles get hot. Good Luck!

I have been using them on an electric range however I have friends who use the same pots and pans on open gas burners with no problems. As is typical of gas cooking (which by the way I much prefer) there will be eventual discoloration on the bottoms of the cookware which is not uncommon with gas.

No problem :) I also dry them on low heat then let it air dry if it's still damp. I don't know what the manufacturer recommends but so far mine have held up.

I bought these for my mother in law and she uses them on her electric stove that is glass top. She loves them. They don't have to be pre-seasoned either. Hope this help :)

They should be fine. A friend has a similar set which are used on a glass cook top. You could contact the manufacturer to be sure though.

They get real hot. We have a Wolfe Stove and a commercial stainless steel hood, where we use them, so it doesn't matter to us. But deepening on where you put them, I guess it ound be ignificant. They are very hard to find.

Yes Tom- in the microwave they can but not on the stove top. I believe they can withstand temps in the oven up to 450-500 degrees. I have been baking in the oven at about 425 F and they are fine. Hope this helps.....

I haven't used them stovetop, but I see no reason not to. I use them regularly in the microwave.
