What is Max cooking temperature?

In short

The highest heat a brand's flagship cooker or oven states it can reach, in degrees Celsius.

A max temperature is the top heat level a cooker reaches, written in degrees Celsius. Higher temperatures let you sear meat quickly, brown a crust hard and reach the heat Italian pizza needs. Compare figures on the same scale, because a gas grill, a kamado cooker and a home oven reach very different levels. Broil King states the highest figure in this group, with its Regal infrared grill rated at 927 °C. Char-Broil's electric grill sits at 371 °C, so check the number before you buy for high-heat searing.
