pan pot ratings question

I've noticed some non stick fry pans say not to use them in the oven, and I'm not talking about
the plastic or wood handle ones either but all metal. But you can buy non stick cheap baking pans
at Wal-Mart. What is the deal here? Also some stainless pans are rated at oven safe to 350
degrees? What do they melt or something?

Probably not, but I bet they warp.

Different coatings.

Depends on coating. Also above 350, many pans warp.

Non-stick baking tray are made with a different manufacturing process than non-stick pots and pans.
Put a non-stick baking tray next to a non-stick pan and you will see the difference.
