The steel body of your pan can almost always handle oven heat — the failure points are the handles, the lid, and the grade of steel. Budget pans cap out around 350–400°F. Mid-range and premium fully-clad pans (All-Clad, Made In,

Stainless steel cookware is virtually indestructible — but only if you treat it right. The biggest mistakes are thermal shock (cold water on a hot pan), skipping preheating, using abrasive scrubbers, and stacking pans without protection. This guide covers the full lifecycle: first use, correct preheating to prevent sticking, daily cleaning, restoring burnt or discolored
