Do the handles get hot on the sauce pans, etc.?

No. Never had a problem with that. The only caution is when the pot is REALLY full. I burned my hand with alfredo sauce when the hot sauce ran down the channel in the handle and through the hole in the end. Otherwise, I love the pots with my induction cooktop.

Gail,The handles on the pans do not get hot. I use them for induction cooking but I think it is the same for gas stove too.I hope this helps. I love them and they stack perfectly.

We use induction so I don't know if that would make a differnce. I boiled water for 10 minutes just to see and they handles didn't get hot. Not even warm! My only concern is where the handles are. With the lid on, there is a gap. No doubt so they are stackable. If you were to cook rice, it might present a problem because you really need a tight fitting lid. The lid fits well but again, there is that gap. I have a rice cooker so this isn't a problem for me. My go to pot. Perfect weight. Very happy with my purchase.

I have never had a problem with that handles getting hot, I was cooking potatoes and some water bobbled out on the handle and Made it warm. I use these with induction cooking, they are great pan. They are well made and highly recommended

they are metal, and as one reviewer noted, if you have an overflow due to the scoop design allowing it to stack, it can collect some hot water in there. THAT can burn you. I have never believed the handles themselves are too hot under normal situations.

No, not at all. There is a slight design flaw with the lids and the handles on the big pot. The lids are glass and the handles on the lids are a bit too close to the covers' surfaces. The soup pot handles are very close to the metal. The handles don't get hot, but they're really close to the hot metal of the pot and glass in the lids. As a matter of safety, I always use pot holders, because I'd prefer not to burn my knuckles. But you have nothing to worry about with the saucepans and the skillets.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.

We have not had a problem of the handles getting to hot to handle. We LOVE this pan set and use it daily.

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.

For the most part the handles stay cool. I have noticed the handles get hot near the pan when the pan is heated to a high temperature.

Amazingly, they don't get hot at all. It's always a good idea to use potholders, but a brief hold on these handles will not be hot.

Yes, they do get hot, but maybe it is because I have a gas range. We do have to use pot holders.

I actually boiled pasta the other night and picked up the pot handles and they were NOT at all hot. I'm not sure about a frying pan but I'm assuming they wouldn't be hat either.

Since I only use these on the stove top, on an electric stove, I've not noticed that the handles get hot at all. I pick them right up without a problem or a potholder. The handles are nice and long, so it hasn't been an issue. Hope this helps.

For the most part, yes. With exception on the stock pot all are usually cool to the touch. With heavy use, the shorter stock pot handles can get warm. Obviously if placed in the oven, handles will be hot to touch.

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 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.

The handles are like a toughened plastic found on saucepan handles. The handles havnt got hot for me, but my typical usage hase been on a gas ring with lower heat(thats why I bought it in the first place - fast cooking with little heat). From a durability standpoint the only"soft" part is the flexible seal that runs inside the rim.

The lid handles do get hot, and you will need pot holders to lift the lids. You do not need pot holders for the long handles. That is the only drawback to these pans, I love them otherwise!

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.
