It has a pour spout on one corner which makes the cover not seal. I have also contacted the company because after 3 uses the non stick is coming off. I would not buy this product again. **Q: On the box it says you can bake in it. Has anyone tried a lasagna or cornbread or something that requires baking?** A: I bake in it all the time...to use in the oven, you use it without the handle/base. I often make a large egg bake with 1 dozen eggs, 1 lb sausage and greens to eat throughout the week. Plugged in, I fry the sausage, then wilt a huge pile of greens while I crack the eggs. Pour the eggs/milk over it, top it with uncooked mushrooms, maybe cheese. Unplug and put the base straight into the oven. ONE PAN! I LOVE this and another friend of mine uses it for almost everything she cooks...it makes a great morning griddle, and a great 1 pan dinner meal. (She just sets it on the stove without any of the handle/base parts. Actually, that's how I cook in it as well...I set the base on my glass topped stove and cook in it like that...without the handles and base.) Then, it can go straight into the oven as well. Both of us are no-nonsense people. ( If I were cooking with a child, I would use the base/handle assembly..) I've never done it, but it would be PERFECT for a huge batch of lasagne. Plenty deep, and you could roast a turkey in it, as well. My number one top use for this is making ketogenic low-carb shirataki noodle dishes. The large flat surface makes short work of drying out the noodles, which is step #1 for a good shirataki noodle dish. Then you stir fry your meat and aromatics directly in the noodles, add healthy fats and add shredded cabbage and misc veggies, bone broth, etc. ONE POT! I make four bags of shirataki Miracle noodles plus all the other add-ins for four large noodle bowl servings. Technically, I could probably do an 8 bag noodle dish in this pan, but that's more than I need. **Q: What is the maximum temperature the unit goes up to?** A: Sorry I'm late, don't check this email very often. The dial goes to 400, but if you go past that mark, maybe 425. This is a good skillet. I've put several other brands in my yard sales as white elephants, but this one is a keeper. **Q: One more question: Does it maintain temperature? The one I have goes from TOO hot to TOO cold very quickly so I'm constantly adjusting the dial** A: The temperature control will cycle on and off - this is normal. For example when left on the warm setting, the control will reach 212 degrees and drop down to 160, and then back up to 212. This process will continue throughout cooking.
