425-450 High Heat: For Searing, Sautéing and Boiling

You might more accurately call 425 degrees medium-high, which I use a lot. You might more accurately call 450 degrees high, but you can cook higher and 500 might be more your zone.

High heat ranges from 375º to 400º, and some skillets go as high as 450º. This setting is best for browning meat, making pancakes and frying foods.
