"First off, Djadane assures us that as a baseline stainless steel is oven-safe. "It's one of the main advantages of using stainless steel, as it remains the most stable cooking material," he explains, "even at very high temperatures." Djadane notes that stainless steel pots and pans can start to change color at very high temperatures above 779 degrees Fahrenheit, but even at those intense levels they stay stable."
"However, he does admit that while stainless steel pans are oven safe, "not all stainless steel cookware is recommended for oven use" due to their construction qualities. "Check the manufacturer markings," Djadane suggests. "Many pans will have icons or text on the underside or packaging that indicate they are oven safe." Although most stainless steel pots and pans will be oven-safe, it never hurts to double check."
Stainless steel cookware is generally oven-safe and remains one of the most stable cooking materials even at very high temperatures. Stainless steel pots and pans can begin to change color above about 779°F but retain structural stability. Oven safety can be limited by cookware construction and by nonmetal components such as handles or lids made from other materials. Manufacturer markings, icons, or labeling on the underside or on packaging indicate oven suitability. Many stainless steel pieces are oven-safe, yet verifying markings before using a particular pan in the oven prevents damage or safety issues.
