do the handles on spirit dutch oven get hot?

I have put the spirit dutch oven on the stove top and brought it to a rolling boil and the handles are still cool enough to lift the pot without pot holder. I have not used it in the oven yet but I assume the handles will get hot in the oven

Yes, the handles do get hot. Also, the directions that come with this pot recommend that it not be used at high heat. The manufacturer recommends using it at no higher than medium heat. The pot heats very quickly because of the halogen core.

Yes, they do depending on what you are doing. In most cases yes. They are metal. Zwilling even recommends to always use mitts. Use this link to the use and care manual: http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/yhst-21889767164414/Spiritsafetyandcare.pdf

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

No, the handle does not get hot at all. I havd had the pot for about a year and use it daily. I don't really have any complaints!

The handles do not get hot when cooking. Bar keeper's friend cleans any residue on them, but if you get the pan hot, not too hot before cooking with a bit of oil little will stick.

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.

No, they don't! And they are comfortable handles too. The small stock pot handles do get warm but I think that's true for any brand.

Since I only use these on the stove top, on an electric stove, I've not noticed that the handles get hot at all. I pick them right up without a problem or a potholder. The handles are nice and long, so it hasn't been an issue. Hope this helps.

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.

If you put the pan in the oven, yes it will get hot. Otherwise, normal stovetop usage will not make the handle hot hot. Love this skillet!

As for the comment about pan handles heating easily, that only happens when you put a small pot on a large burner , otherwise if pot is placed on right size burner there is no direct heat ca using handles to get hot.

The handles gets warmish if the pan is kept on the stove for say longer than say 20 minutes. I use a gas stove and it could be because of the high flames radiating on to the handles. I would recommend using a mitt. But it a small con considering the quality of the product. I have been using it for more than 3 years and still rave about it.

No, but the handle had no problem holding up to the 450 degree heat while wrapped in a towel and heavy duty foil while seasoning in the oven.

It depends on how much heat you have under it. If you are using this over a campfire with too much flame, the handles will get too hot to touch by hand. Mine didn't melt, but still hot enough to be uncomfortable. and yes on the rubber gasket.

No, not at all. There is a slight design flaw with the lids and the handles on the big pot. The lids are glass and the handles on the lids are a bit too close to the covers' surfaces. The soup pot handles are very close to the metal. The handles don't get hot, but they're really close to the hot metal of the pot and glass in the lids. As a matter of safety, I always use pot holders, because I'd prefer not to burn my knuckles. But you have nothing to worry about with the saucepans and the skillets.Hope this helps!

I have taken a Dutch Oven by the handles out of a 450 degree oven with no problem. (Using 2 gloves).

Handles are metal (stainless) riveted to the pan. You will need pot holders. In my experience, most "Dutch ovens" have metal handles because they are designed to be used both on the stovetop and in the oven.
