Does the handle get hot?

It gets hot if you use the pot in the microwave, but it cools down quickly enough that you can hold it to pour.

When I use a tea cozy, it does get hot. My biggest problem is that the pot drips when pouring.

My experience is yes it is hot! The handle is just warm. I use mine to make mug cakes a lot or heat tea water. They are great cups and I love them!

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. No matter what I have cooked on the cooktop the handle has never gotten hot. However, once I left the handle turned and it was over a recently shut off burner and it did get warm, not hot. But I would imagine left for a prolonged period it would have gotten hot enough to burn.

Handle nor handle on lid get hot. Lid may get warm but generally not overly so. In my opinion, Cuisinart really thought this product through.

No, I haven't noticed any heat coming from the handles. Hope that helps. So far this has been a great product!

No I have not had a problem with the handle being to hot. Seems like it would cause it's metal but so far no problem at all.

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!

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

Yes, the handle gets hot fast while cooking. Since it's so heavy you may not need to hold the handle. But definitely need gloves to move it after cooking

The handle does get hot but not as hot as plastic. You would need a mitt. We keep ours on our wood stove. On the cook stove, it doesn't get as hot.

The handle does get hot after a few minutes. I usually use a towel or an oven glove to hold the handle. I am using an outdoor, high BTU burner and use high heat, so that may make a difference.

The handle does not get hot. We don't use a mitt to move pan around or serve unless you grab the handle near the pan which we don't. Little extra info we have had this pan since June of 2012 and it still works great. We do use it at least once a week.

No, The handle does not get hot. The cook ware is the best yet and does not require high heat setting to cook with. I therefore save energy and less cooking time with his products. I am very pleased with this cookware and the set I purchased which is well worth it.

No, the handle does not get hot. It also works well on an induction cooktop.

I have never noticed the handles getting hot, the cup where you place the potatoes does get hot of course since they are hot when you are ricing them. You are not going to get burned while using it however.

Yes. We have never had a problem with the handles being too hot. We still use this set everyday! Looks like new!
