are the pot & lid handles cool-touch?

It sort of depends on what you're cooking. If it's something with a lot of steam like a soup or pasta, the handles can get a little warm. Usually they are fine to handle without a mitt, but this is assuming you don't use high heat for a long time. Comparative to other cookware, I think the handles stay fairly cool.

yes they are coated with silicone the only trouble is I have a gas range that does still heat the handles on the large pot but did not have that prob on my electric stove

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.

Unfortunately no. The handles have plastic on the undersides. Otherwise, they're absolutely fantastic.

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.

For the most part they do. If I have a lot going on on the stove I notice they can get a little heated. When lifting the lids I always use a potholder. The set is nice. I am happy with them.

No, the pans hold the heat very well and the handles stay comfortable to the touch.

The handles don't appear to be insulated, but I don't recall ever needing a potholder to handle them. They have gotten warm, but not really hot.

The pots have a design and words on the bottom but does not affect the heating surface..

Well, I have the pot right in front of me and I'm not sure. There are some indentations around the edge of the handles that would make me think they are riveted, but the indentations don't go all the way through. The inside is completely smooth. It looks like the side handles are one piece with a base plate giving them lots of strength where they are attached. The lid handle appears to either be welded or riveted like the side handles but without the base plate.

The handles on the sides are cool enough to touch when I heat milk up to 180 degrees; I'm unsure of the handle on the lid. I also, don't fill the pot up all the way.

The handles are I think polished aluminum with rubber on the underside for grip.They stay cool to the touch.

I've been using this set for over a year now, and the handles haven't gotten hot. I don't grab them down by the base, but I have used the big pot to cook things assembly-line style, and have never had a problem. I really love these pots.

Yes. The handles are in brackets, which are riveted to the pot with four rivets in each bracket.

Cool touch is correct. The metal parts may get hot, but the plastic shell and handles are nice and cool. Easy to work with.

They certainly get warm like any cookware, but they don't get as hot as the rest of the pot. My mom's stainless steel cookware doesn't have the insulated handles like the Calphalon Simply line and her handles get too hot to comfortably handle. These do not.

They are heat resistant. The handles are actually very nice with a comfortable grip.

No, but it is a little difficult to click the lid on properly while pot is hot.

Nope. The handle stays perfectly cool. Any other questions? I really like this product.
