Does the handle get hot when cooking?

Yes, it does. My only complaint. But it couldn't go from stove top to oven if needed if it was another material for handle

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.

I've only used this once so far and did use the lid, but didn't have any problem with the lid handle getting hot.

High heat on any pan other than cast iron is not the best for them and your food.I have not had this problem with the handle getting to hot to handle.

The handle gets hot enough that I have to use a pot holder, but it may be because we have a gas stove with an open flame! I'm not sure if it would get that hot on a normal stove top!

No the handles do not get hot. But the frying pan that I ordered in December went back. It hummed when plugged it and then the thermostat cut out. We were trying to cook bacon. We bought this pan in 2008 and it was great but was worn out. At this time, I don't recommend the CSK-150 as Cuisnart is phasing them out. See my post...Buyer Beware!!

Yes. The handle does get hot, and you will need a glove or towel. The beauty of these authentic pans is that they get hot very fast...and hence are great for bringing liquids to a boil. The surface discourages sticking, too!

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

The handle is iron too and therefore gets hot. I use it on my gas stovetop - which is fire so assume a grill or other fire would work as well

No, the handles do not get hot when you cook on the stove, only when you put it in the oven.

I haven't had any problems with the pot handles getting hot. The lid handles are cool touch on the underside of the handle however the tops are not so they can heat up. If you lift the lids from under the handles its fine.

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

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.

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.

Yes, Virginia the external aluminum does get hot during cooking. You should always use the handles.

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

Yes, the handle gets hot. I don't know why it doesn't actually get as hot as I expected it would, but it does get hot enough to burn you if used over an extended period of time. Crepes are not prepared at a very high temperature, so I haven't counted it as a negative, but I do have little slip-on pot holder sleeves that fit over the handles of many of my pans - and keep them near when using this one. I really love this pan. Hope this helps!
