This pot, and the entire tri-ply series, is safe to 500 degrees as stated by the manufacturer.

I routinely use this pot to bring pasta water to a roiling boil on the highest setting on my 1800 watt induction cooktop. It works great, does not discolor and does not warp. I have not used it to sear anything, though.

I have used it with high heat on an electric range with on problems so far yes. I returned a cuisinart pot of similar cost that warped on the bottom after one use for this pot.

I bought a 6 pot/pan group for my wife. She cooks on a Kitchen Aid gas stove. I think the middle large burner is 15,000 btu. She loves these pots and pans, and has had no problems at any heat level, and no complaints. I hope that helps you.

I think the manufacturer warns against heatinhg them up too hot. I don't use high heat with this pot on my induction stovetop. I also didn't use high heat on my ceramic electric cooktop.

Hi, Kent. No, you should not heat this pot. The inside is lined with enamel, and that high heat would crack the enamel coating. The most heat this teapot could withstand is a candle beneath to keep your tea warm.

Hi Carol... probably not... the diameter of the pot should not exceed the diameter of the burner/heating element. Same applies to electric stove. While it may heat the pot, it will take forever and eventually you may burn out the heating element.

Pots can withstand heat up to 400F. Boiling water is not close to the limit. See:http://www.calphalon.com/Pages/Content/Use-And-Care/Simply-Calphalon-Nonstick.aspx

You could with a pot holder or glove, however it was not designed for this use and would get hot and may permanently heat discolor.

No, Only if other open pots are boiling would they get hot. But generally speaking no.

Hi Pauline, IMO pots of this type (aluminum) are not ideal for high heat frying (although my daughters have done it in similar pots). They are designed for soups and stews, noodles, etc. I would strongly suggest obtaining a dedicated saute pan for meat. Cast iron is very popular for this, but other heavier weight saute pans will fit your needs too (love the Amazon reviews). Hope this helps!

max temp i have got this pot up to was 600 degress F with a propane torch. looked to me like it could have handled a little more but it wasnt necessary.

Absolutely, but a reminder most of the new cookware is to be used as directed. They do NOT have to be on the highest heat, mainly because you boil the nutrition out of anything you are cooking. Bring your product to a boil and turn down the heat.Incidentally, I have a glass top stove.Happy CookingJ.

I would. It is also nice for canning as you can put 7 pint small mouth jars in this in the rack. I wouldn't use real high heat. When canning in mine I always wash it out and dry it just like any pot I would use so that I could cook in it some day.

There is no yes or no answer for that question. Ours is used on an induction range. So the handles are prone to heat up later than an electric or gas range. If you have a big pot full, and keep it hot, the heat will eventually transfer to the handles. Just physics. But under normal circumstances I would say the handles are not as hot. It does work well with an induction range,

Nope, not even at high temperatures. I love this pan so much I bought another!

The pot itself is stoneware - it sits inside an aluminum liner-heater with the stainless steel outer wrap. I think you could brown at the high level heat, but it might take a bit to get it hot enough, but I don't think it's designed to do that. I love mine - I've also given it for a gift to my daughter who loves hers as well.

Just use low heat. It will boil very fast. These pots never need high heat. That is why I use them.

I don't think the pan is heavy enough construction to have high heat applied directly to bottom. Would expect some warping. Recommend against use for cooking. Might want to consider a heavy stainless steel or aluminum stock pot type of container.

Yes, it can. I bought this pot several months ago. It turns out to be a good one at this price. Good use for hot pot!

Because this is a clay pot, they cannot withstand immediate high heat. They will crack. The cooking temperature has to rise slowly. As an example, I would cook my beans by putting the pot in a cold oven with the food in it and let the pot get warmed as the oven warms to the temperature it's going to cook at. As for cooktops, I would think you could but you would need to use a good sturdy heat diffuser and start your heat low until the pot is warmed and then increase your heat to cook your food.
