Cookware Oven-Safe Temperature Comparator
"Is my pan oven safe?" answers are almost always a single number for the whole brand. The closest thing we found to a real comparison, prudentreviews.com's 20-brand list, fetched directly, turned out to be exactly that: a static table you scan by eye, with no way to enter your own oven temperature and see what actually clears it. It is also, like most sources on this topic, a single number per brand — which hides the part that actually breaks first.
The body is rarely the weak point — the lid or the knob is
Fetched directly from each brand's own page: All-Clad's steel body is rated to 600°F, but its own
tempered glass lid is rated to only 350°F — a 250°F gap on the same product. Le Creuset's metal
knob is rated to 500°F, but its own Classic phenolic knob is rated to only 390°F. A "my pan is
oven safe to 600°F" claim can still burn a lid at 400°F.
Every part, every brand, unfiltered
This table doesn't depend on what you typed above — it's every figure this page cites, straight from each brand's own page.
| Brand | Part | Their own rated max |
|---|---|---|
| All-Clad | D3 / D5 / Copper Core body | 600°F |
| D3 Pro Nonstick body | 500°F | |
| Tempered glass lid (any collection) | 350°F | |
| Made In | Stainless Clad body | 800°F |
| Le Creuset | Metal knob | 500°F |
| Signature phenolic knob | 480°F | |
| Classic phenolic knob | 390°F | |
| Lodge | Enameled cast iron body | 500°F |
| Glass lid knob | 400°F |
What this does not do
- It compares one line per brand — All-Clad's D3/D5/Copper Core and D3 Pro Nonstick, Made In's Stainless Clad, Le Creuset's knobs, and Lodge's enameled cast iron — not every product each brand sells. A different line from the same brand can carry a different rating.
- Made In's own page names a "Stay Cool Handle" but states no separate numeric limit for it, so no Made In handle row exists here — a number not stated on the source page is not invented for this table.
- Le Creuset's own body rating (widely quoted elsewhere at 500°F) is left off this tool entirely, not estimated — see the code comment and decision log for why it couldn't be confirmed by a direct fetch this session. Only Le Creuset's three knob figures, which were fetched directly, appear below.
- These are the maker's own stated limits, not a guarantee — enamel, coatings and finishes can also be affected by thermal shock (a cold pan into a hot oven) in ways a single temperature number doesn't capture.
