is the handle safe to put the ozeri ceramic non-stick wok in the oven

I havent used mine in the oven yet, so i am not able to advise. As per the specs, the handle is heat resistant Bakelight, so it should be able to withstand heat . I would advise emailing the manufacturer's customer service Dept directly. They should be able to assist.

The handle is made of plastic, but I vaguely recall a statement on the package that the pan might be used in the oven up to a certain degree (maybe ~375 F). I could be wrong, so if you're concerned about this, you should contact the seller for further clarification.

I looked at mine and I can't be sure. But you can trying asking the manufacturer. They seem like a small family business. Otherwise I'm extremely pleased with it.

Love this pan! I believe it is safe for the oven, but I threw away the packaging so I don't remember the specific temperature it would be safe in the oven.

Nope, the handle is just the normal plastic if you put the wok in the oven, I think the handle will melt.

It's my favorite piece of cookware. It sits nicely on the stove with no ring. Because it is cast iron it heats more evenly than most woks, but because it is relatively thin it heats faster than most cast iron. The sturdy wooden handles let you safely lift it without gloves. The nonstick coating on the outside means that you only have to worry about maintaining the seasoning on the inside, but you also don't have to worry about the nonstick coating touching your food.

the handle is lacquered and not designed to go in the oven. We learned the hard way when our house keeper placed ours in the oven and the broiler was turned on. Had to clean the pan carefully, and the cooking surface is fine, but I don't want to repeat this!

I wouldn't try it. I would guess that the covering on the handle couldn't withstand oven heat.

The helper handle is riveted into place and not removable. But that should not stop you from seasoning in oven. Wrap the wooden handle completely with a damp dish cloth, then seal it with aluminum foil well and you can proceed. Watch the "Wok Shop dot com" video, VERY informative (and easy).

I haven't used my pans in the oven yet but the rubber handle slides off and leaves a solid metal handle. These are by far the best pans I have ever had!

The pan is said to be oven safe up to 500 F or 260 C. I assume that would include the handle, but I have not had the opportunity to cook in the oven with the pan yet.

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

I have put mine in the oven, but I used a foil lid cause I didn't want to risk the glass/plastic of the lid which also fits other pans I have. The lid handles are a bit flimsy.. but the pot itself should be no problem.

I would have to say NO. The Handle and Cover Grip are coated with a heat resistant soft rubber/plastic for lack of not knowing the materials name. Looks and feels like an oven would melt and our burn the handles. One never knows with what they can do these days, though I personally would refrain.

If you are using over an outside high heat wok burner, 35K BTU's and up, yes the handle will get too hot to touch. On a household range, electric or gas, it should not be a problem--unless making a dish that takes a long stir fry time (which is unusual). But for under 4 minute stir fries, I never had a problem on household ranges (ie. 5K-10K BTU's).

The handle will not be oven safe, so removing the handle would be sufficient.

It would seem to be metal. Either way, I've found it works just fine for wok cooking. Just don't but the metal/wood version of the wok spatula. Those are terribly constructed.

Sorry I cannot help :( I had to return this wok 3 times due to a cracked handle when it arrived. I really wanted to use this wok since I already purchased the lid and waited too long to return it.

Yes that is why I bought it...no plastic handles to worry about. I braise my meat on the top of the stove and finish it in the oven at 350 to 400.

It can get a bit warm. I keep a flat pot holder, kitchen cloth close. But, I wouldn't trade this wok for any of those with the screwed on handle (or any other wok, really). No moving parts, solid handle, solid feel.

We did not experience any issues with the handle. The pan is really heavy, just needs to be taken using both hands.
