Turning my burner up to max my carbon steel wok has gotten up to 700. Before I knew better, I had an old non-stick wok and on the first use the coating came off at high temperatures. Never actually cooked in it, threw it out and went for the carbon steel instead.

Many ovens have their top temp at 550F. And when the broiler is on, it can go well above that (although in a smaller more focused area).
