does the handle get hot when cooking on high heat?

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.

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

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 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.

Yes. Handle stays cool and unit shuts off if you pick it up or tip it over. Heat comes out of vents below fake flame - vents probably get warm but not hot. I recall this is a ceramic heater which should not get really hot like other types of heaters. My main complaint would be it is a little noisy but I like the low price and small size.

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.

I have not had a problem with the handle heating on the stove top.Make sure the flame is not up so high that it is under the handle.

My handle does not get hot while using it to cook bacon. It might get hot if the flame/electric grill is set on too high a setting but I don't ever use my stove that hot. Mine will get hot if left in front of the oven vent as the heat from the oven goes directly on to the handle and you will have to use a potholder to move it. The only reason it gets hot in that position is because after washing the flat iron, I put it in the middle of my range (near the oven vent area) as a decorative item. Since it is iron and looks nice on my stove, I learned the hard way not to leave it there while my oven is in use.

The handles can become hot. For normal heating up something they are fine. But for prolonged cooking I do need a pot holder.

No, the handle does NOT get hot. This is the best (functional and elegant) coffee carafe on the planet.

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.

Relatively speaking, it certainly does. As an example, I heat the pan for 5 mins first, then heat oil in it for another 4 mins or so. Then cook a fried egg in it, which is probably about another 3 mins. The handle will warm up slightly near the pan, but where you grab it, it stays perfectly cool enough for normal use. (Should point out that my 'prep time' is for the all stainless, not the 'non stick')

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.

I cook on a gas stove and the long handle does not. The short handle does if it is near the heat source. It's my favorite pan. I use it on a daily basis.

yes it does get quite hot....i usually have to grab a potholder to hold onto it so it won't burn my hand

The handle does not get hot. I had to stop and think for a minute, but I remember using the handle to turn the grill pan around while I am cooking and doing it without a hot paid. I use this pan quite often. It is great.

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

the handle will get too hot to touch if you are using the grill on high for an extended period... but for everyday grilling we have not had that experience. Even roasting a chicken (where you are not using all the burners on high) has not been a problem.
