Can this be used on the stovetop for browning or searing before putting in the oven?

Good question. The answer is yes. Either top or bottom may be used on the stovetop for searing the meat. It's a great roaster. I love it.

Yes, it has a thick cooking bottom on top and bottom. Very pleased with product.

I cant say for sure, but I did put mine on the stove top to heat drippings and broth for making gravey. It certainly is of sound construction and does feel like it would be stovetop quality.

Apparently not, but I have seen ones that the cooker container is safe for stovetop so you can brown meat before putting in the cooker to set. There was another model, the Breveville (?) that had a browning option, but the ratings were low for it (poorly made) and the price was high.

I don't believe that is safe as while the teflon could handle the heat ,the painted outsides and handles would be done gonners. I'm a firm believer in Pyrex mostly for oven cooking,but theres some recipes I've used where they will reccomend using metal non-stick ovenware. I do a lot of stirfry and sautees.So these pans have worked out great for the top of the stove and I have noticed due to the bottoms of this cookware spreading the heat,my pasta is cooking better and a little quicker.I do reccomend this cookware,It's GREAT,I love it!

Yes, given my experience with the DeBuyer pan, it can go in the oven. I often sear steaks on both sides, then finish the cooking by placing the pan in a 350 F oven.

IT can be used on any stove burner top, electric, gas or induction. You could even use a blow torch, gas grill, charcoal grill or campfire. I have never used "in" or inside a kitchen stove oven, it should work that way but it is not designed for that particular application.

yes, like many others hotter in the circumferential area - but I find this does not affect cooking or browning meats- recommend all stainless versus the non stick - I bought the non stick and the coating peeled

No, I would be afraid to since it scratches easily and I don't know how solid the bottom of the pot is. I don't know if the stove top flame would burn it. I'd be careful!

You'd have to check the can to see if its certified for food use, which it likely isnt. Otherwise if your referring to cast iron pans, just season them with fats/oils in the oven. Google seasoning pans / pots. It would probably work with other types too. This would be more food safe. Also the first time you heat, the paint will "cure".

Sorry not sure since I use on a fad stovetop. Packaging should indicate if you can.

I wouldn't in a stovetop pan (seems too close to the heat source) but I see no reason why it wouldn't work in a Dutch oven in the oven just as it does in a roaster. Ask the manufacturer.

Yes, it can be used on the stove top as long as the enamel on the bottom is not chipped.

sure, you can. I preheat the pot on medium heat and cook meat for a few minutes with the cover off to brown.

Yes. I do it all the time, and it is one of the clear advantages of having the aluminum sandwiched in between the stainless steel. So, you can brown your vegetables, or heat up the liquid, or make a sauce in the roaster and then plop it into the oven.

Sure, but you have to really preheat the lid first or you won't get nice grill marks. I find it easier just to use the ribbed skillet and turn the meat once. The lid is great for making pressed sanwiches (panini & cubans) or toasting thick slices of hearty breads.

Yes, you can use it in the oven but not on the stove top with an open flame.

I wouldn't recommend it. The nature of the ceramic doesn't appear to be stable enough to withstand direct heat. And I don't recall the manufacturer stating it could be used on the stovetop. Hope this helps...

Yes, it can be used on the stove top burners. I have used mine for making au jus on the stove top after the prime rib came out of the oven, and worked exactly like the YouTube video said it should. Heated evenly, didn't scorch or cook too fast, and the au jus was clear and perfect. I have an electric stove.
