Has anyone had issue with the handle heating up while cooking? I'm replacing my "simmer" pan that require long stove top times.

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!

We keep this pan on the stove and use it every day and have not had any problems with the pan. I love it and if anything happened to it, would have to buy another one.

I own the Calphalon Unison (Sear) 12" with the small handles on both sides. These handles do heat up while cooking. I also have the 10" with one large handle and one small as shown in the picture. The large handle does not heat up but the small one does. These are both terrific pans though and I love the searing feature of both. For me the handles are not a problem.

I have never had a problem with the handle becoming too hot while simmering for any amount of time on the stovetop.

I'm surprised a cast iron skillet had that problem! I have not had an issue with mine since I got it in December. I even used it in the oven a. It's been even cooking for me since the day I've used it.

The handle can get hot if you're cooking over high heat over an extended amount of time, but it's fine if you're just cooking something simple like eggs.

I have used mine several times and as long as I have the proper fluid I have never had this problem, be sure and use proper or more fluid while cooking.

Tina I don't know what that would be. I've never had that problem, but I would definitely call the manufacturer and let them know about it. That is really strange. Sorry I couldn't help you. How long have you had the skillet? Can you return it?

The handle did not get hot. I have a glass top stove. I do keep the handle outside the heating circle. Hope this helps.

The handle may warm up after lengthy cooking on a gas stove. The handle will be hot if the pan is placed under a broiler or in a hot oven.

I have not had these issues. If the boiling water overflows, perhaps fill kettle 3/4 full. The handle for me has never been hot. As for the top nob, I treat it with caution, ie...do not touch till the kettle water is no longer boiling.

Dawn, what type of handle problem are you asking about. I have used my set on gas, and propane and I am thinking I might have even took it camping once. They are the best thing I have ever cooked in and when I take the time to really clean them all over they look brand new. As far as the handles are considered, I have never had a problem, but I have seen some replacement handles on Ebay. Let me know if this covers it. Happy New Year

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.

I have not had reason to expose the handle to different heat than the scraper. It does okay when I leave it on top of the oven.

if it's new out of the box and the handle won't stay up then return it. I haven't had any issues with my handle but I took a class from a well known instructor that recommends this iron because it gets hot compared to many other irons. The instructor mentioned that the handle wasn't designed really well and it can get to where it won't stay up at least all the way. She mentioned that she had taken a eraser from the end of a pencil and pushed it in to make the handle stay up. This may not help you but it's all I know about the iron except I really like mine.

I've been using mine for a little over a year now. However, I seldom use the right burner, which is for warming or simmering. But, I use the main burner all the time. I haven't had an issue at all since my purchase.

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!

yes, I have a gas stove it works great, no problems with the handle burning. I keep it on medium heat not high.

Haven't had any issues with it heating up. I blend directly in pan for creating creamy soups and sauces. Try pulsing if you have heating problem when doing large quantities whether cold or hot.
