Yes, this pan is exceptionally heat-tolerant and safe for use in ovens and under broilers up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit. Because it lacks non-stick chemical coatings, you can sear at high temperatures without worrying about damaging the surface or releasing fumes.
The handles are engineered to remain cool to the touch during standard stovetop cooking. However, if you are using the pan in the oven or under a broiler, the handles will become hot, and you should use oven mitts.

While it lacks a chemical non-stick coating, it is very durable and can be cleaned with standard stainless steel cleaners or mild soap. To prevent sticking, we recommend preheating the pan properly and using a small amount of oil or fat before adding your ingredients.
Yes, the pan comes with a matching stainless steel lid. Like the pan itself, the lid is oven-safe up to 800 degrees Fahrenheit, making it ideal for braising or finishing dishes in the oven.
