Can plastic handles go in the oven?

Only to the limit the maker gives, which is usually lower than the pan's. Le Creuset rates its older black phenolic (hard plastic) knobs to 390°F, against 500°F for the pot, and says they never go under the broiler.

Look for the handle or knob limit in the instructions; when a maker gives none, keep plastic out of the oven.
