Are they heat resistant. I want them for handling hot things

They are designed to keep you from being cut while wearing...I know of no claim about being heat resistant.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

Yes, if you mean 'are they safe to handle on the stove without getting too hot?' Sometimes, they may get a little warm, however l I have never gotten burned by the handles. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the set for several months but I now have trouble with sticking. I am not nearly as happy with the set as I originally was.

I'm using them for putting wood in my woodstove and they work very well for that. They are rugged and very heat resistant. They will most likely last for many years.

I bought these as a gift but I do not think the handles are heat resistant.

They do withstand hot food, my only complaint was that that they @ 9" diameter were somewhat small for a full meal. I come from a family that eats lots.

they withstand heat pretty well, but not super hot. They can warp if you get them too hot.

I don't know but they work great for serving appetizers, warm or cold, but I've not used them on direct heat

I am sorry I don't know how much heat they will tolerate. I use mine in a toaster oven, straight on the rack and put hot dog, etc on top of them and bake. I like mine because I can wash them in the dishwasher, cut on them and they seem to hold up very well.

They are supposed to be teflon, which might be able to handle the heat in theory, but I don't think they can handle the heat tbh, so no.

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 they will catch on fire. They are only resistant to heat. I use them for welding and leaning on the warm metal

I think they could maybe handle it in that they wouldn't melt, but they are really thin plastic and would be uncomfortable to hold when really warm. Personally I wouldn't chance it. They're really bad quality.

Not recommended for exposure to hot liquids as the base material would likely allow penetration through to fingers and hands. The gloves are highly resistant to hot objects and steam (up to 640 degrees F), ideal for handling pots, pans, broilers out of the oven, but if resistance to hot liquids is a requirement, best to get gloves specifically designed for that environment -- these gloves are not!

When I first started using them yes, because I was using them as if they were non-stick pans. You have to use lower heat temperatures with stainless steel.

Yes they are heat resistant and no need for pot holders. The handles have a rubber like coating so makes them easy to grip and yer fish fryin' easy!!

No, these are definitely not made to hold hot foods. For chili or soup, you would be much better off with styrofoam or waxed paper containers.
