Pretty much any heating element setting will take a pan to 450 degrees. Do people do it? - I doubt the parent commenter is lying about their bird.

Just keep in mind gp is talking celcius. A good sear on a steak will happen around 200-250°c
Yeah, see...I just deleted the 450 degree part (right before I saw your response), because somehow I knew someone would pick at it.
The temperature is the least relevant part of what I wrote.

A pan left on the stove will turn red, and it is an accident that happens with some regularity. This issue is a lot like ground fault protectors: a rare accident that could be avoided by never interacting with a product in a certain way nonetheless occurs, and can only be eliminated through technical means. Just imagine that you're at your parent's house, and you look over at a glowing pan. Oops, you have a headache...
