Title: Only Ovensafe to 350F? - NOT SO! - It's 450F!
Review: I was very interested in this skillet because Cook's Illustrated's review (September 2010) says that it is ovensafe to 450F and that the nonstick surface is exceptionally good and long lasting.Unfortunately the Amazon and T-Fal websites state that it is only ovensafe to 350F. To clear up this discrepancy, I checked with Cook's Illustrated and also with T-Fal. It turns out that after re-testing, T-Fal has changed the ovensafe rating to 450F but has failed to do so on their Website and on their packaging, although they have planned to do it.Cook's tested the higher temperature by making frittatas and finishing them under the broiler. They did wrap the handles in heavy-duty foil to protect them from the direct heat and the pans did well.Consequently, I've upped my rating from 3 to 4 stars.I need a skillet with a lid; according to other reviewers, standard lids do not fit this pan.
Is the review positive or negative?
