do the handles get hot

A little bit, but not really. I think that they use a different type of metal so it does not seem to transfer the heat.

I think that depends slightly on the level of heat that you're using. I use them on an electric range, and if you crank it up to full, they can get a bit uncomfortable to handle. They don't burn you just by touching them, but you'd grab a towel or mitt before picking it up. Otherwise they don't get particularly hot, and I pick up the pan to stir things without any problems (even at about 3/4 heat, which is the highest I usually ever go).

If you turn the pan on high heat it will get hot. If you cook at Med or lower temps they do not get hot.

I've had them for over a year. Never had an issue with the handles getting hot.

Only the handles on the large pot get hot because they are attached parallel to the pot and are smaller. The long handles on the medium and small pots and the pans do not get hot.

No, the handles do not get hot on the saucepans and the saute frying pans. But, the short handles on the dutch oven do get hot. But, I've never used a dutch oven whose handles didn't get hot.

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.

Yes they get warm to hot the higher the temperature! Had them for a few years never any problems.

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

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

It sort of depends on what you're cooking. If it's something with a lot of steam like a soup or pasta, the handles can get a little warm. Usually they are fine to handle without a mitt, but this is assuming you don't use high heat for a long time. Comparative to other cookware, I think the handles stay fairly cool.

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

For the most part, yes. With exception on the stock pot all are usually cool to the touch. With heavy use, the shorter stock pot handles can get warm. Obviously if placed in the oven, handles will be hot to touch.

Generally... yes. The handles on the pans stay cool with almost any amount of cooking time. Only if you have been heating for a long time (20+ minutes) do the pan handles feel warm at all. I have never had any difficulty with the pan handles getting so warm that they are uncomfortable to handle. The handles on the glass lids for the pots aren't as efficient at stating cool. If the lid has been on the pot for some time, especially if higher heat is being used, they do get warm to the touch. However, they are still cooler than the glass part of the lid. And, if you are setting the lid on for a few minutes and then removing it to stir spaghetti or soup or maybe a sauce, the handle generally isn't uncomfortable. If I left it on for a long time, I would likely grab a cloth or pot holder first. This is a great set of cookware. And when you compare the cost, the value is terrific Hope this helps.

The handles are not completely heat-resistant. However, if I have cooked something for a short amount of time, say 20 minutes or less, I can hold the pans by their handles. If I need to use a pan for an extended time, I need a pot holder. If what I am cooking makes a lot of steam, the handles will get pretty warm, hot over an extended time. But I find my supposedly head-resistant handles will do that in the presence of steam also. All in all, I am pleased with how these handles respond to heat.

No, the rubber-clad handles do not get hot due to the pan being on the stove, even if on a burner for an extended time. Of course, you need to ensure that the handles are not above an adjacent burner: they would get hot if positioned above a hot burner.

No they don't get hot. I have microwaved these and other shapes and sizes of the same type, and no problems. I think they are realy nice looking and serviceable.

We have not had a problem of the handles getting to hot to handle. We LOVE this pan set and use it daily.

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.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.
