can I use the platter to broil steaks in the oven?

I do all the time. Place the sizzler plate(s) in the oven close to the broiler. Then turn up the thermostat to 500 degrees until temperature is stable and plate(s) are hot. Then I turn on the broiler to high. I wait for about ten minutes for the temp to rise and stabilize. I spray the sizzler plate(s) with some Spam and cook the steak for one minute per side, medium rare. You'll may have to adjust for your oven or the way you like your steak. Hope this some help to you, and enjoy!

I don't see why not--the metal that the platters are made from will withstand a much higher temperature that any household oven will generate. However, they are small and will only hold a very small steak

I have not tried it but I see no reason why not. Not of course with the wooden tray. Otherwise the cast iron platter should stand the heat.

You could but this platter is very small and there are better cast iron grills available

I place the plate in a oven, then set the temperature to 500 Deg.. When the oven reaches 500 deg. I turn the oven off and turn the broiler on, after the broiler reach temperature I spray on some Spam Grilling oil and place the steak on the plate. Cook for two minutes on each side. EnjoyMo

I have put it in the oven for 5 or 6 minutes to finish off a steak, but not longer. I can't answer if you could do a casserole because I haven't tried.

They work very well for steaks, as plates. They are a little small for use as a steak serving platter.

I have cooked several and it works just like any other broiler. Season the steak as you like, put it on a rack and cook away.

Yes that's why I got it I use it to broil steaks and chops on it in a cake pan

yes, this pan can be used in any oven. It is sort of like a small brownie pan. It can be used without the broiler top.

First, I will not broil a steak in this oven, it's too much of a pain to try to clean up afterward... As far as the cookies go, just follow the directions on the package that the cookie mix came in... It's an oven... You will probably have to adjust the cooking times as I have to get the results I was looking for... Not a big deal to do...

Yes, Just preheat it according to the instructions and place your steaks on direct heat area.

Depends on thickness of steak. Set oven on broil. 16 - 18 minutes. Turn once after first 8 minutes. Don't know about cookies.

I wouldn't try it. This is pretty flimsy compared to the Presto I had for 30 or 40 years. I would suggest using a crock pot if you don't want to put it in a conventional oven.

Yes, you can. I have not yet tested it myself, but the instructions on the box say that it may be used in an oven or under the broiler up to 500°F.

I have never tried to use them under a broiler; but, I do know they are completely oven-safe otherwise. If you're making something like a creme brûlée and you want to crate a hard caramelized top, it would probably be better to use one of those handy kitchen "blowtorch" gadgets.cheersbob

No. It can be used in the oven, but packaging specifically says not to use it under a broiler.

Yes. It's heavy duty and I would be comfortable browning meat on the cook top before putting it in the oven.

Yes, you can. The tray that comes with the oven is slightly larger than 9 x 11 inches and the interior of the oven is pretty spacious. I've only had it for about 2 weeks and have used it several times already. I do find that I have to cook/bake things longer than in a normal oven. I like it a lot. Hope this helps!

Yes, it is oven safe to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. It is not safe for use under the broiler.See http://calphalon.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/26/~/can-i-use-calphalon-cookware-in-the-oven-or-broiler%3F
