Tonight I'm planning on attempting Beef Bourguignon (the Julia Child way) and as I'm sure most of you know, it requires a casserole dish that can go ON the stove as well as in it and unfortunately I don't have such a thing at my disposal. However, I do have a huge stainless steel pot that, it appears, should be OK if put in the oven.. but I'm wondering is this safe and have any of you tried it? In a panic, Rockability Thu Oct 08 13:07:12 -0700 2009 1098694 rockability 1 5089074 most SS pots & pans are oven-safe up to at least 450 degrees Fahrenheit, so you should be okay if you have decent-quality cookware (i know Calphalon & All-Clad are okay up to 500 or 550). just be sure to use potholders when removing it from or adjusting it in the oven - those SS handles get searingly hot!
