It depends a lot on how high you turn it up and the load. For example, if you are boiling water, the inside of your pot is limited to 212F but oil would get much hotter. Rather than try to put an exact number on it, one major manufacturer of the glass used rates it as withstanding thermal shocks up to about 1300F. For more info about use, care, etc., try this link:
