Are handles safe to touch when pot is hot or do you need hot pads?

I have never had a problem handling this pot, even when cooking chili for several hours.

I recently used it on "low" for over 12 hrs & I did not need pot holders for the lid or handles. However, ff you were to use it in the oven or on high, you would need pot holders. The handles are metal. So far, it has been doing an excellent job.

The saucepan handles stay reasonably cool when on the stove. The short handles on the pots won't stay cool.

The handles on the fry pans stay cool enough. The pot handles get too hot to touch when cooking for a while

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

I've had the handles on the 8-quart stock pot get hot during cooking. The shape of the pot makes it just slightly narrower than the burners on our glass-top electric range. This puts the handles above the heat rising from the stovetop. That's the only piece of this set that the handles get hot on that I've noticed although the lid handles also get hot when used for a long cooking time and of course the handles will get hot if you use the pots in the oven. We absolutely love the saute pan from this set. It's perfect for so many of our cooking needs.

pot holders for the handles are needed, yes; maybe moreso for gas flame than electric but better to be safe than sorry

Th handles get hot, not red hot. We use pot holders when moving the pan. It is an excellent pan.

Yes the handles stay cool on all my Cuisinart pots and pans. The only time my handles get warm is if I cook on the burner that is larger than my pot and heat rise up the outside and when I put the pots in the oven which is great. No more pouring from a pot into a casserole dish for the oven.

I recommend using a pot holder or oven mitt once the wok has heated up. The handle gets hot when the wok is fully heated.

Yes. We have never had a problem with the handles being too hot. We still use this set everyday! Looks like new!

Somewhat safe - I still think it might be hot on your hand, but maybe less so than on a gas stove. I think the heat travels up the handle from the kettle's pot itself. The handle appears to be a combo of plastic and rubber - and tends to get hot enough all over that I usually use a hotpad or my sleeve to pour when the kettle boils.

The handle is also made of cast iron. I have not had it get too hot to touch, if that is what you are wondering.

I don't know as I gave it as a gift but I imagine so. I have a similar wok and always have to use hot pads on the handles. That has never been a problem.

No, the handles do not get hot; so you can easily move the wok to your serving area while the food is still cooking.

The handle stays cool unless it is over another hot burner or pan. I don't use a pot holder to move it when water is boiling.

Always use hot pads, one handle can be cool and the other hot , depends so always use a hot pad
