Can I Put A Frying Pan In The Oven

The answer is “Yes“. Generally, to preserve the flavor of the steak, another process is carried out, and the frying pan is put into the oven together with the oven. Of course, there are many kinds of materials and sizes of frying pans, and not all materials and sizes of frying pans can be used in the oven. Let’s learn the correct way to check.

Maximum heat-resistant temperature of frying pans of different materials

Maximum temperature of household ovens

Here is an example of an ordinary household oven, the maximum temperature of which can reach 200°F to 250°F.

Reference for heat resistance temperature of frying pans made of different materials

The material types of frying pans are generally divided into stainless steel, cast iron, aluminum, copper, carbon steel, and medical stone. Among them, stainless steel, cast iron, copper, and carbon steel frying pans have the highest oven safety rating, with an average maximum temperature of 500°F. Non-stick pans are safe at an average temperature of up to 450°F.
Why is the average temperature of non-stick pans lower? Because there is a non-stick coating on the surface of non-stick pans, which will release toxic gases when reaching a certain temperature. For example: PTFE (Teflon) coating, over 500°F, will degrade the coating and release toxic fumes. These toxic gases can harm body organs. In addition, the grade of the material should be carefully compared. For example: stainless steel is divided into 410 stainless steel, 430 stainless steel (18/0 stainless steel), 201 stainless steel, 304 stainless steel (18/8 stainless steel), and 316 stainless steel (18/10 stainless steel). Different grades of stainless steel have different heat resistance temperatures.

Frying pan handle material

Also, pay attention to the material of the frying pan handle. Usually, the frying pan handle is made of stainless steel, and its heat resistance temperature is the same as the pan body. However, to prevent customers from getting their hands burned during use, the frying pan handle will be made of bakelite or plastic. The heat resistance temperature of these two materials is much lower than that of stainless steel.

How to determine whether your frying pan can be put into the oven

In daily life, the heat resistance of a frying pan cannot be seen at a glance, and it must be tested with professional tools. Of course, there are more convenient channels to get the answer.

Through the product’s user manual

When you buy a frying pan, it will come with an instruction manual. According to the instructions, you can clearly understand the material, size, and maximum temperature of the frying pan you purchased.

Electronic instructions on the website link of the store where the product was purchased

Generally, when purchasing cookware products online, the properties of the frying pan will be indicated on the details page, or there will be a detailed introduction on the FAQ page.

Consult the merchant or customer service staff

If you purchase a product in a physical store, you can directly consult the merchant. If you purchase online and cannot find the electronic instructions on the details page, you can directly ask the customer service staff, who will also explain the details of the product in detail.

How to correctly operate the frying pan in the oven

Through the above article, we have determined whether the heat resistance temperature of the frying pan meets the highest temperature of the oven. Next, we need to learn how to correctly operate the frying pan in the oven.
Comparing the inner diameter of the oven and the longest size of the frying pan, the frying pan must be smaller than the inner diameter of the oven by more than 10 cm, to facilitate taking (note that the temperature of the frying pan that has just been baked is very high, so be sure to wear heat-insulating gloves before taking it).

Conclusion

With the advancement of technology, manufacturers nowadays will improve frying pan products to suit different operating environments to meet the different needs of different customers. Or customize exclusive cookers according to the customer’s operating environment. Most frying pans on the market are safe to use in the oven, but you still need to be careful when cooking with a frying pan to avoid sudden temperature changes, as this can cause bending, cracking, or weakening of the base metal of the pan.
