Yes you can but avoid sliding cookware across the stovetop as it will scratch the surface. Avoid soft aluminum and copper pots and pans as it can fuse onto the stovetop surface. Clean stovetop with soft abrasive as Bon Ami.

I'm looking to purchase a new set of cookware. I'm wanting the metal handles so that they can be used in the oven.

I would check places on-line like Penny's, Kohl's and other places that you know carry kitchenware in your area. See if they have write ups on what people had to say about the product. Also sign up for the sale ads so you will see when they have sales. Everyone has different likes. Some want non stick while other look for the regular pots and pans. I think mine are Megnalite or something like this and I have owned them over 40 years but they are about due for replacement. I did get my money's worth from them.

Hot water and an S.O.S or Brillo steel wool pad. When you have that all done, rinse well and dry over heat, on the stove. Once the water is gone, Use a paper towel to rub SHORTENING, not oil, over the inside surface. Let it heat for about 5 minutes. Then, rinse out and scrub with a plastic or nylon bristle brush after each use and re-apply the shortening. This will "season" the cast iron and will prevent rust. Store the cast iron in a dry place, like the oven, when not in use. Just make sure you check the oven before you use it to take out the cast iron, LOL.

I wouldn't put it in the oven. However, heat it up on the range and wipe it down with Crisco, or some kind of shorting all over, including the bottom. Make sure when you wash your cast iron skillets, to use as little soap as possible, and dry them on the stove and reapply oil every time. If you do, they will never rust.

*Added tip*

To get stubborn stuck on food off, add water to the skillet and place it on the stove and bring to a boil to soften the mess. Wash as normal…..the food should come right off with a copper scrubber.
