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.

Yes, it does get too hot on the handle. Mine didn't last very long. Too bad because if it didn't get too hot it would be a great one!

It is deflected. Return it if possible. Find another product to replace it with

My handle didn't get hot but the barrel got too hot to touch. The heater shopped working on the last two of these I bought so I switched brands.

The handle does not get noticeably hot (I pour steaming, but not boiling water into mine). The base certainly does get hot. I keep mine on a ceramic tea saucer for that very reason.

The handle stays cool to the touch, but the barrel does heat up in order to curl your hair section. There are two heat settings. I usually set it to high and hold the section of hair to a count of 12. If it needs to be repeated, you can do so.

The handle does get hot, though I would not say too hot. I also find that opening it toward the outer edges versus the center is a help. I've noticed no problems with the side shelves; however, the side walls of the grill do generate a good deal of heat, so again common sense caution suggests handing trays, etc. from the outer edges of the shelves. The quality of the grill and the cooking temperatures it generates more than offset any minor inconvenience.

I have the same issue. I have tried to fix it with no luck. Only thing that works is holding the handle at aslight angle. Over all I am not happy with this item.

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

It depends, I can pick it up bare handed when it's boiling, but my wife usually uses a mitt. But the metal uprights that hold the handle get really hot so some care is needed about where your hand is placed, it also seems to matter where the tea kettle is on the burner. If it's not squarley above the flame it can cause the handle to get hot.

I have never used the tip but I do not think that the tip gets hot. I also have short hair and have never had any problems. I have bought several of these and am very happy with them.

It's on the handle and it gets really hot where you cannot work well with it

You may have gotten a bad one. I have used mine for months with no problem. Be sure that the brush is on the handle properly. If it isn't on nice and tight it could cause the mechanism inside to wear out too soon.

The handle does get hot after a few minutes. I usually use a towel or an oven glove to hold the handle. I am using an outdoor, high BTU burner and use high heat, so that may make a difference.

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!

Mine does get hot..not really hot hot. It sounds like yours might be defective..perhaps you'll have to return it.

Good morning! I already responded to the question of this cute little pan, and I answered it truthfully. However, after having read the comments once more, I went straight to my pan to see what was going on. My pan is an "Orgreeanic", and the handle is never hot. I guess I got a different pan from what I'm seeing below.

No I have not had a problem with the handle being to hot. Seems like it would cause it's metal but so far no problem at all.

I agree with Isabella. While it does get warm, provided you keep the handle straight up it does not get too hot to pick up if you don't use a potholder. I also use mine on a cast iron wood stove and have never had a problem.

I have had no problems with the handle heating up while cooking. I have had this pan for several months now and use it frequently. I love it!
