Do the handles on the pan and/or the lid get hot?

Like someone already pointed out, handle stays cool, but the cover -- if used -- does get hot!

yes, they do. i purchased this item while i am in transition. the best pots/pans i have ever used whose handles do not heat up are made by demeyere. since they are so expensive I look at it as an item I can purchase one a year

I feel like they get warm but I have a skewed sense of hot and cold because I am in the culinary profession and my hands are used to high temps

The metal stainless steel handle gets hot. Maybe not as hot as you would expect, but it does get hot. You do need to lift it with a hot pad. Of course all this depends on how long the pot is set on a hot burner. That said. this family loves the three pots we own. They do a great job evenly distributing the heat and are easy to clean. They also look great. I would not hesitate buying this pot again. (The heat on the handle is no big thing to us and the SS handle is very durable.) (We also have Lifetime Cookware we bought many years ago. From time to time they do need service in the form of new handles and knobs. However, you can grab them with no hot pad.)Marcia Bahr The metal stainless steel handle gets hot. Maybe not as hot as you would expect, but it does get hot. You do need to lift it with a hot pad.

No, the handle and lid are very resistant to heat. But I haven't cooked over high heat for an extended period. Overall, a very nice pan!

As long as the handles are off to the side they don't get unreasonably hot. They do get a little warm but nothing that requires oven mitts.

The handles do not get hot when cooking. Bar keeper's friend cleans any residue on them, but if you get the pan hot, not too hot before cooking with a bit of oil little will stick.

If you turn the pan on high heat it will get hot. If you cook at Med or lower temps they do not get hot.

there is a rubber circular gasket like all pressure cookers do between the lid and base. The handles don't get hot.

No, the rubber-clad handles do not get hot due to the pan being on the stove, even if on a burner for an extended time. Of course, you need to ensure that the handles are not above an adjacent burner: they would get hot if positioned above a hot burner.

Yes, the handle got warm, not hot, when I boiled water in the skillet to check for heat. However, it was in the normal range. With the usual care in cooking I feel there is no danger. This is the Best Non -Stick Cookware I have ever used. I gave this as a gift as I am very proud to own it myself. Thank you

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!!

I've used my pan a lot with and without the lid and have not had a problem with it getting hot, warm but not hot. I love the quality of this pan.

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!

Only the handles on the large pot get hot because they are attached parallel to the pot and are smaller. The long handles on the medium and small pots and the pans do not get hot.

From my experience they only get hot if you're cooking something else and the handle of the one is near the burner of another. Just the pan by itself on the burner does not get hot when cooking. We use a regular gas stove if that makes any difference.

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.

I did not have a problem with hot handles, but beware of the thin metal of the pan. I have found that things burn and stick easily.

As far as I can tell, only the handles on the sides (which do not get hot) and the knob at the top of the lid are plastic. I think the knob might get hot. I always assume that it does so I use a potholder to lift it off. The decorative outside portion of this crock is made of metal -- and yes, that will get hot, too. I hope that helps.

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

No, the pan does not get too hot to handle. I use mine on an almost daily basis and am perfectly happy with it! I hope you enjoy using your pan.
