Do the handles get hot?

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.

Near the pot they do but out at the end they are just warm. Remember these pots do not need all the heat of a regular pot.

Not at all except if you let the handle on top of the fire or too close to the flame.

As long as the handles are off to the side they don't get unreasonably hot. They do get a little warm but nothing that requires oven mitts.

The handle does get a little warm close to the pot. and the lids knob does get hot.

No, but the further down you go on the handle it will get hot. And one other thing to keep in mind, the inside of the pot the finish comes off. I returned the one I bought because of this problem.

No, the handle in the pots and pans will not get hot, they are well designed. However the handle in the lid will get hot of course.

Yes, they can get hot depending on how hot you are heating something up. The mugs have the benefit of the handle which stays cooler.

No, the pans hold the heat very well and the handles stay comfortable to the touch.

Yes, the handle does get hot....I got one of the potholder things that are made especially to slide onto pot handles. Love, love, love the pan!

They are cast iron, meaning it's all one molded iron wok. Yes, the handles do get hot and take a while to cool down. Always wear oven gloves or a hot mitt when positioning the hot wok. Overall I like my wok, you can't take it away from me! Hope this helps... Jerry

Yes. The handle does get hot, and you will need a glove or towel. The beauty of these authentic pans is that they get hot very fast...and hence are great for bringing liquids to a boil. The surface discourages sticking, too!

I've been using this set for over a year now, and the handles haven't gotten hot. I don't grab them down by the base, but I have used the big pot to cook things assembly-line style, and have never had a problem. I really love these pots.

Yes, the handles do get hot. Also, the directions that come with this pot recommend that it not be used at high heat. The manufacturer recommends using it at no higher than medium heat. The pot heats very quickly because of the halogen core.

I thought the handles would get hot. I was very pleased to find the handles were easy to handle even after cooking for a while.

They become hot when left over direct heat. Since I am the principle cook I really enjoy cooking with the set. I do use pot holders because my ceramic cooktop distributes the heat and the handles do become "warm". With that said, I am often using three burners at the same time.

Since I only use these on the stove top, on an electric stove, I've not noticed that the handles get hot at all. I pick them right up without a problem or a potholder. The handles are nice and long, so it hasn't been an issue. Hope this helps.
