The primary handle can be used without protection. The 'helper' handle cannot.

It does get warm. The silicon handle cover takes care of that beautifully, though.

Yes, it does get very hot unless you get a fitted silicone cover for the handle. And it is quite heavy ..the pan. But good quality if you take care of it properly.

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

Yes, the Handles do get hot on the "pan" as well as on the glass top. This is still the best slow cooker we've ever had..!!!

The handle does not get too hot. I usually heat soups, leftovers and such and it has always been cool enough to touch. The pot itself will be warm to hot depending on what you're heating in it. Use pot holders if you're going to touch the pot.

The handles do not get hot when cooking. Bar keeper's friend cleans any residue on them, but if you get the pan hot, not too hot before cooking with a bit of oil little will stick.

Handle nor handle on lid get hot. Lid may get warm but generally not overly so.In my opinion, Cuisinart really thought this product through.

The handles can become hot. If just heating up something they are fine. But if something takes a while to cook I do need to use a pot holder

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

Yes, the handle black part always gets super hot. I have been using this product for over 5 years and i love it. Just be careful w handle. I usually take little breaks in between so it wont get too hot.

The handle does not get hot. I had to stop and think for a minute, but I remember using the handle to turn the grill pan around while I am cooking and doing it without a hot paid. I use this pan quite often. It is great.

High heat on any pan other than cast iron is not the best for them and your food.I have not had this problem with the handle getting to hot to handle.

I have never had a problem with the handle becoming too hot while simmering for any amount of time on the stovetop.

The handle on the lid will be hot as will the handles on the aluminum liner. But the cooker is great.

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

I use mine in the microwave occasionally to reheat a beverage that has gotten cold and I've never had a problem with the handle getting hot.

the handle does, but I have to use a pot holder for the lid as it got real hot.

Absolutely NOT!!! These handles were made to stay even temp. The only way they would be HOT would be to have the other burner on and the handle over it!
