Sometimes, but not very often. Mrs. braslvr makes blackberry cobbler in a medium skillet, and pita bread on a large very hot one in the oven. Maybe a couple of other things rarely.
Normally stovetop, used like a hot flat top at a restaurant. I would destroy a typical fancy non-stick skillet in days the way I like to sear and toast things. I have in fact.
