Is the handle oven proof?

The handle is constructed of a plastic. I would not recommend using at oven temperatures. I have used it at high heat on the stove top. But I have yet to attach the handle since I don't have a screw driver.

The handles look like some kind of plastic material. Ours works great on the stove, never thought about putting them in the oven. Good luck

Yes it can because it has all metal handles. I use mine in the oven all the time. Just make sure you use a oven mit when removing as the handles will be hot also.

I don't recall (I gave mine to my granddaughter) but I seem to recall the handle was all stainless steel. If so, you're good to go - in or out of the oven.

No, the handle and lid are very resistant to heat. But I haven't cooked over high heat for an extended period. Overall, a very nice pan!

Farberware handles are oven-proof up to 350 degrees but they do lose their shiny appearance in the oven and become dull plastic.

Yes, it can as it is a metal alloy. Lodge's website lists: Knobs are oven safe to 500F.

I have taken a Dutch Oven by the handles out of a 450 degree oven with no problem. (Using 2 gloves).

I watched a demonstration video for these pots and pans and it stated that all items, including the lids, are oven safe. :) The handles are also oven safe.

The handle is able to withstand low to medium heat. However, to be safe you can remove the handle to avoid having any issues before placing it in the oven. It's very easy to remove the screw and then replace. This is a very nice pitcher.

NO! The plastic handle would melt from the heat!! You need a cast iron skillet, the handle will take the heat.

The pan is said to be oven safe up to 500 F or 260 C. I assume that would include the handle, but I have not had the opportunity to cook in the oven with the pan yet.

I havent used mine in the oven yet, so i am not able to advise. As per the specs, the handle is heat resistant Bakelight, so it should be able to withstand heat . I would advise emailing the manufacturer's customer service Dept directly. They should be able to assist.

Hey, Sharon...I haven't personally tested it out but, the TeChef website does state that the pan's handle is oven safe to 350 degrees. It's no doubt the handle that is the weakest link as the body of the pan withstands much greater temperatures. Hope this helps, Chris.

It does not. I wanted that feature too considering my children would be using this oven. Since I've had the oven, we have been burned a couple times so we are very aware of the door getting hot. The handle remains cool. I purchased one of those little oven mitts that look like a duck bill, that seems to do the trick with smaller tween-sized hands.

The base is cast iron, the handle frame is stamped steel and the grip is spring steel, all of which should handle any temp your domestic oven can generate. The worst that could happen is that the powder coat on the handle frame might flake off over time. I'd say go ahead and use it like you want.

I, too, gave this set to my future daughter-in-law as a Christmas gift so I would not be able to answer this question from personal knowledge. Although I believe that the cookware is safe to use in the oven and that the handles are made to withstand the temperatures, I would not use them in the oven because I would not want my cookware to be tarnished from the heat. But that is just me.
