do the handles get hot

Mine get got. But the burner I use is about as wide as the cup so the flames are closer to the handles than some smaller ones so that might be why.

Not on a camp stove. When at the edge of the coals of a larger fire the handles do get hot though. Use a few layers of heavy duty aluminum foil for a lid, it works great.

Yes, there's really no way to avoid this all together. Stoves with a narrower flame help, but there will still be some heat conducted from the cup to the handles. Some products have plasti-dip coating that insulates however it will eventually melt. I have read that silicone air line tubing for aquariums doesn't melt but haven't tried it. Shirt sleeves and/or a bandana work well.

Mostly - in comparison to many pans. The lid handles get hot if you've had them on for a while and naturally they get very hot if you've had them in the oven.

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

Generally... yes. The handles on the pans stay cool with almost any amount of cooking time. Only if you have been heating for a long time (20+ minutes) do the pan handles feel warm at all. I have never had any difficulty with the pan handles getting so warm that they are uncomfortable to handle. The handles on the glass lids for the pots aren't as efficient at stating cool. If the lid has been on the pot for some time, especially if higher heat is being used, they do get warm to the touch. However, they are still cooler than the glass part of the lid. And, if you are setting the lid on for a few minutes and then removing it to stir spaghetti or soup or maybe a sauce, the handle generally isn't uncomfortable. If I left it on for a long time, I would likely grab a cloth or pot holder first. This is a great set of cookware. And when you compare the cost, the value is terrific Hope this helps.

The handles stay cool on the stovetop. The lid handle does get hot on high heat but not at lower temps.

I bought these in July and do not have any problems with the metal handles. They do not get hot.

On my electric cook top the pan handles do not get hot. The lid handles can get a little warm but not too hot to touch. May be different on a gas cook top.

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.

All cast iron. Yes the handles do get hot. Use heavy weber BBQ gloves to move. Love it. Food really has a better then when I wok inside with my stove top wok. Enjoy.

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

Yes, the Handles do get hot on the "pan" as well as on the glass top. This is still the best slow cooker we've ever had..!!!

No, but the further down you go on the handle it will get hot. And one other thing to keep in mind, the inside of the pot the finish comes off. I returned the one I bought because of this problem.

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.

Yes, the handle does get hot....I got one of the potholder things that are made especially to slide onto pot handles. Love, love, love the pan!

I've had them for over a year. Never had an issue with the handles getting hot.

Absolutely NOT!!! These handles were made to stay even temp. The only way they would be HOT would be to have the other burner on and the handle over it!
