RoryRory, when you say handle, do you mean the handle on the lid? From what I have been reading, the handle can withstand 180 degrees on the Le Creuset and 200 degrees on the Le Chasseur... I thought the heat ratings related more to the pot.

Netix, I have no idea about the Stanley Rogers. I did notice on the Le Creuset website, you can call them if you need your pot re-enamelled though.
I was also looking at the Staub French Ovens because their lid handles are metal.
