| Jan 17, 2012 at 16:40 | comment | added | mfg | @Mischa There's plenty aroundabout Teflon's (+/-)safety and although I refer to "chemical compounds" generally, I do not think that by virtue of the pan having a Teflon coating it should be deemed necessarily "unsafe for oven use". Also, that is 260'C (500'F) with nothing in the pan. Per the answer to the second question, you can probably create a nice toxic plume, but you'll also be violating common sense and destroying the pan. Don't heat it above 500'F | |

This prevents you grabbing the hot metal 15 seconds later when it's being an ordinary pan on a burner/counter that you have seen many times before and that never has a hot handle. (BTDT got the burn.) | |
