does the handle get hot and do you need an oven mitt to move the pan around or serve?

The handle does not get hot. We don't use a mitt to move pan around or serve unless you grab the handle near the pan which we don't. Little extra info we have had this pan since June of 2012 and it still works great. We do use it at least once a week.

Yes, the handle gets hot fast while cooking. Since it's so heavy you may not need to hold the handle. But definitely need gloves to move it after cooking

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!

No, the pan does not get too hot to handle. I use mine on an almost daily basis and am perfectly happy with it! I hope you enjoy using your pan.

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.

No, the handle is never hot. There are two steam escape holes on the lid. These should be positioned to allow the steam to escape to the side. The handle is also made from a plastic that does not appear to conduct heat.

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!

The handle is made out of the same metal as the pan, so the heat will gradually be conducted down the handle and it will get hot.

I have a gas stove, and the pans handles don't get hot, but I do have to use a towel or mitten for the pot.

The handle does get hot but not as hot as plastic. You would need a mitt. We keep ours on our wood stove. On the cook stove, it doesn't get as hot.

I haven't noticed that the handle gets hot at all, but the exterior does get pretty hot. The manufacturer suggests that you make sure that the sides, back and top are at least 4 inches away from any objects including walls and cabinets. I would not suggest letting children use the oven unsupervised.

I have had no issues with the handles getting hot. I haven't really used the pot lids during cooking, so I cannot comment on that. I also have done much transferring from cook top to oven to finish off a dish.

Handle is a good solid cast design, rounded metal, that stays cool to warm in use. Pan should be used only up to medium high. Could warp if used on high a lot.

Yes, and my wife has actually done just that to confirm. She says the handle gets a little warm so wear a mit! She also wanted me to mention that she LOVES the pans after trying many different non-sticks.

I got my Stoneline at the end of December, so haven't had it very long. I have been using it on a gas stove and I really like the way it cooks. The pans with the black handles do not get hot. There is a square pan that has short metal handles that come with cloth covers to use on the handles. I think that the pan is for the oven. I haven't used this yet, but assume this pan's handles would get hot.

Not in my experience. The pan and handle are big enough that the heat dissipates before getting to the handle.

It gets pretty warm on the outside. But, if you need to move it, use the handles - that's what they're for and they don't get hot.
