Does the housing get hot? Without a handle, I'm wondering how I'd move it without waiting for it to cool down. Thanks!

The housing does get warm, but not uncomfortably so. To pick up or move it is a non issue. I think that you could burn yourself with it but you would have to lay on it or you on it, to burn yourself (you would have to be really stupid)...but it would not be like a branding iron but more like a bit overly hot heating pad.

That is a great question. I just turned it on for about a minute and the black grills heat quickly to the touch but the silver metal sides were drastically cooler. I never took my hand off it and stayed cool. I've had it for a couple of years and really do like how good it works. Can't go wrong.

No, the housing remains cool to the touch. Only the area of the cover grill directly in front of the element gets particularly hot at all, but not so hot as to burn skin. I was skeptical when I first bought a pair of these, and when they arrived and turned out to be much smaller than I expected, I was only more critical. But they have far exceeded my expectations for output, circulation and economy.

Yes. The front screen gets hot, but the sides stay cool so you can move it just be careful!

yes, the handle gets a little hot when you have it in for a long time, but just be careful when removing it. I heat it in the microwave every so often.

I haven't had any problems with the handle getting hot but, as with any splatter screen, I make sure the handle is not hanging over the heat (by being used on a too small pan). I am very careful when handling the splatter screen (especially washing) as the handle connection does seem fragile.

No, the handle does not get warm or hot. Plus this lid fits every pot and pan I own cleans up so well in dishwasher, it looks like new. Don't hesitate, buy it, you won't be sorry.

The handle does not get too hot. I usually heat soups, leftovers and such and it has always been cool enough to touch. The pot itself will be warm to hot depending on what you're heating in it. Use pot holders if you're going to touch the pot.

Yes, the handle gets really hot. You have to grab it with a pot holder or dish towel which gets a little awkward considering the size of the pan. I do love the pan. The small size makes for some very cute eggs. I have plans to crochet up something to slip over the handle tightly to solve this issue.

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.

Yes, the handle does move. I bought this as a gift for my niece so I don't have much firsthand knowledge about it, but I repositioned it when I wrapped it up. I hope this helps!

Unless left on high for quite a while the handle remains quite cool to the touch. Come to think of it I don't think I have ever had to use a potholder.

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.

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.

Yes, the handles get hot because they are not plastic or rubber coated including the sides of the pans. They cook evenly and are beautiful and so it is a trade off I guess. You just need a towel or pot holder handy before grabbing anything. If this type of pan is something you really want, you will get used to using them. I have no regrets with my purchase.

The handle does not get very hot, however the lever thats attached to the lid gets very hot and has to be handled with care to avoid getting burned.

The handle gets hot; however, I enjoy the kettle so much that using a hot pad is not a problem.

No, The handle does not get hot. The cook ware is the best yet and does not require high heat setting to cook with. I therefore save energy and less cooking time with his products. I am very pleased with this cookware and the set I purchased which is well worth it.

Yes，the handle can get hot, but it is fine with a little help of cloth wrapped on.

The handle does not get hot unless you are using the pan to cook in the oven. Then you will need a hot pad.
