Many pans can travel freely from the stovetop, to the oven, to the table (with your help of course). However, some cookware can better withstand higher oven temperatures than others. The most versatile can be heated up to 550 degrees and placed directly under the broiler (this will never include non-stick surfaces or plastic and wooden handles.) Metal handles will always get hot in the oven, so we urge you to use heavy-duty potholders. Non-stick pans or those with plastic and wooden handles can't withstand high oven temperatures. Their maximum is usually in the 350 to 450 degree range, and some should never go in the oven. Always check your cookware of choice for specifications.
Metal utensils can be used on stainless or aluminum surfaces, while plastic, silicone, nylon and wood utensils should be used with non-stick cookware.
Remember, all handles do not "stay cool". Make sure you check the line you have selected, and if the handles aren't "stay cool" be sure to use a potholder or oven mitt.
A few select lines of cookware claim to be dishwasher safe, however, we always recommend that you hand wash your pots and pans. It's better to be safe than sorry. This will help prolong the life of your cookware, help it stay looking new, and protect it from harsh dishwasher detergents. Many lines, such as anodized aluminum, can't be put in the dishwasher without damaging the surface.
