Can you put saucepan in an oven?

Whether a saucepan can be used in an oven usually depends on the type of material from which the pan's handles are made. If the pan has a wooden or plastic handle, it should not be used in an oven. Most commercially manufactured saucepans have heat resistant handles, and may be used safely at baking temperatures up to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. If there is any doubt as to the material of the handles, do not use the pan with higher temperatures - broiling, for instance, might not be safe.
