Sur La Table offers a wide selection of high-quality cookware for all types of cooking. Many home cooks wonder if their Sur La Table pans are oven safe. The answer depends on the specific pan material and model.
Sur La Table Stainless Steel Pans
Sur La Table’s stainless steel pans can safely go in the oven. Stainless steel is highly durable and oven-safe up to 500°F. This allows stainless steel cookware to transition seamlessly from stovetop to oven for dishes like skillet chicken dinners.
Some examples of Sur La Table’s oven-safe stainless steel pans include:
- Viking Contemporary 3-Ply Stainless Steel Fry Pan
- All-Clad D3 Stainless Steel Fry Pan
- Cuisinart Multiclad Pro Stainless Steel Skillet
- Sur La Table Stainless Steel Everyday Pan
The product details for each of these pans specify oven safety up to 500°F. Stainless steel pans with handles may become hot in the oven, so using an oven mitt is recommended when removing them.
Sur La Table Nonstick Pans
Nonstick pans from Sur La Table can generally go in the oven, but there is a temperature limit. The upper oven safe temperature for nonstick pans is typically around 350-500°F before the nonstick coating can start to deteriorate.
Some Sur La Table nonstick skillets and pans that are oven-safe at moderate temperatures include:
- GreenPan Valencia Pro Hard Anodized Induction Safe Nonstick Fry Pan
- Anolon Advanced Home Frying Pan with Nonstick Coating
- Sur La Table Nonstick Everyday Pan
- Woll Diamond Plus/Diamond Lite Nonstick Fry Pan
It’s important to consult the manufacturer’s instructions for each specific nonstick pan to determine the recommended oven safe temperature.
Sur La Table Copper Pans
Copper pans from Sur La Table can go in the oven in most cases. Pure copper has an oven safe temperature up to around 450°F before the material can start to soften.
Some popular oven-safe Sur La Table copper pans include:
- Mauviel Made In France M’Heritage Brushed Copper Skillet
- Matfer Bourgeat Copper Frying Pan
- Mauviel Made In France M’Passion Copper Jam Pan
However, many copper pans have handles made of materials like wood that should not go in the oven. The pan still can, but care should be taken to keep any unused handle out of the oven.
Sur La Table Aluminum Pans
Aluminum pans from Sur La Table can safely go in the oven up to temperatures around 425-450°F as long as they have an oven-safe handle.
Some examples of oven-safe aluminum cookware from Sur La Table include:
- Viking Contemporary 3-Ply Aluminum Nonstick Fry Pan
- Cuisinart Chef’s Classic Nonstick Hard-Anodized Aluminum Skillet
- Sur La Table Professional Aluminum Nonstick Fry Pan
The oven-safe temperature for a particular aluminum pan depends on any coatings and handle materials, so checking the product details is recommended.
Sur La Table Ceramic Pans
Ceramic pans from Sur La Table are oven-safe to varying temperature limits. 100% ceramic pans without silicone or plastic handles can withstand very high oven temperatures up to 800°F.
Some oven-safe ceramic cookware options from Sur La Table include:
- Xtrema 100% Ceramic Skillet
- Emile Henry Flame Ceramic Nonstick Fry Pan
- GreenPan Paris Pro Ceramic Nonstick Fry Pan
Ceramic pans with silicone handles often have lower oven safe temperatures around 350-400°F. Consulting the product specifications is advised to confirm a ceramic pan’s oven safety limit.
Sur La Table Bakeware
In addition to frying pans and skillets, Sur La Table sells many types of bakeware that are fully oven safe by design, including:
- Sheet pans
- Loaf pans
- Pie dishes
- Bakeware sets
- Ramekins and souffle dishes
- Baking sheets
- Muffin tins
- Bakeware sets
Materials like aluminum, steel, ceramic, and glass used to make these bakeware items can withstand high oven temperatures well above 400°F. Any bakeware from Sur La Table can be used safely for its intended function in the oven.
Factors Determining Oven Safety
The oven safe temperature for Sur La Table pans depends on the following factors:
- Pan material – Stainless steel, aluminum, and copper can take more heat than materials like nonstick coatings.
- Coatings – Nonstick or enamel coatings often have lower heat tolerance than the base pan material.
- Handle material – Metal handles retain heat, while materials like wood or silicone can limit oven safety.
- Quality – Higher quality pans are typically built for better heat conduction and oven safety.
- Product instructions – The manufacturer’s oven safe guidelines should always be followed.
Considering these factors for a specific Sur La Table pan determines whether it can safely go in the oven and at what temperature.
