Do the handles get hot when in use? Thanks!

Mine don't when cooking on induction. I assume it would be the same for gas also.

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

Yes! I bought this set as a present for my daughter and family and was very disappointed at how hot the handles got.

The lid handles do get hot, and you will need pot holders to lift the lids. You do not need pot holders for the long handles. That is the only drawback to these pans, I love them otherwise!

You are correct. The handles are made of metal and will heat up as the wok warms up. I find myself not needing to use the handles while cooking since the wok never moves due to the weight. Still going on strong in our house :)

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 handle in the pots and pans will not get hot, they are well designed. However the handle in the lid will get hot of course.

Yes, the handle got warm, not hot, when I boiled water in the skillet to check for heat. However, it was in the normal range. With the usual care in cooking I feel there is no danger. This is the Best Non -Stick Cookware I have ever used. I gave this as a gift as I am very proud to own it myself. Thank you

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

The handles do not get hot. I also have an induction cooktop, and I heat water in this pan every morning for my instant breakfast drink, and sometimes the water is boiling. I pick the pan up by both handles with bare hands and pour it into my mug with no issues. The pan is large, and the lid has a small vent hole in it that keeps it from boiling over. This pan is one of the best purchases I have made. I love it.

they are metal, and as one reviewer noted, if you have an overflow due to the scoop design allowing it to stack, it can collect some hot water in there. THAT can burn you. I have never believed the handles themselves are too hot under normal situations.

All cast iron. Yes the handles do get hot. Use heavy weber BBQ gloves to move. Love it. Food really has a better then when I wok inside with my stove top wok. Enjoy.

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

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!

Yes the handles stay cool on all my Cuisinart pots and pans. The only time my handles get warm is if I cook on the burner that is larger than my pot and heat rise up the outside and when I put the pots in the oven which is great. No more pouring from a pot into a casserole dish for the oven.

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.

yes, they do. i purchased this item while i am in transition. the best pots/pans i have ever used whose handles do not heat up are made by demeyere. since they are so expensive I look at it as an item I can purchase one a year
