When it comes to choosing cookware, heat-resistant handles are often seen as a premium feature. Yet, many consumers still misunderstand their capabilities. While comfort and grip remain top priorities in daily cooking, understanding what makes a handle truly heat-safe is essential—especially as home chefs become more adventurous in the kitchen.
One common misconception continues to influence buying decisions and may cause shoppers to overlook high-quality cookware options:
Misconception: Pots with plastic handles can’t go in the oven.
Fact ⇒ F.B.M. Handles Resistant to High Temperatures
At F.B.M., we design cookware handles that are not only stylish and ergonomic but also built for exceptional temperature resistance. Our handles, knobs, and side-handles are manufactured using advanced heat-resistant materials, making them fully compliant with EU12983-1 regulations.
What does that mean in practical terms? It means all our standard handles are tested to perform at 300°F/150°C—but we don’t stop there. To ensure maximum safety and performance, we test our products at even higher temperatures than required.
By choosing F.B.M., you're selecting certified safety, lasting durability, and innovation-driven design—ideal for consumers who expect more from their cookware.
If you have stricter requirements and you are looking at top of the edge products that can resist at higher temperatures and go to the oven, this is also possible.
F.B.M. offers in fact complete sets of products that are also available in a special high-temperature material that is safe to use at temperatures up to 425°F/220°C. Also in this case, to ensure that the high-temperature material will perform as expected, the handles have been tested . These types of accessories are definitely a best option for a high-end or luxury pot and pan line when cooking in the oven is an appreciated plus.
