Yes, the stainless steel knobs are oven-safe at any temperature, allowing you to move your cookware from the stovetop directly into a hot oven without concern.
The black satin interior of the skillet is specifically engineered to withstand higher surface temperatures, making it ideal for searing and browning, whereas the smooth enamel of the Dutch oven and saucepan is better suited for gentle simmering and braising.
