I cook on a gas stove. Does the metal in the handles get hot with the silicone around it? I'm looking for handles that don't get hot

They don't get hot! There is a very small uncovered metal piece near the actual pan that gets a little warm, but is not in the place you would pick it up! Hope that helps!

I have a gas stove, and the pans handles don't get hot, but I do have to use a towel or mitten for the pot.

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.

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

They will get warm, especially if you are simmering something on the stove for a length of time such as soup. However, I don't recall the handles/lid being hot enough that I needed a pot holder to grab them.

As for the comment about pan handles heating easily, that only happens when you put a small pot on a large burner , otherwise if pot is placed on right size burner there is no direct heat ca using handles to get hot.

On mine the part that surrounds the stoneware crock (with the circles on it) is metal and it does get hot. The stoneware gets hot too obviously. The handles and control knob are plastic but I've had mine on for hours at a time and those have never gotten hot.

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.

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

It depends on how much heat you have under it. If you are using this over a campfire with too much flame, the handles will get too hot to touch by hand. Mine didn't melt, but still hot enough to be uncomfortable. and yes on the rubber gasket.

Be warned that if you let the metal handle rest on the side of the pan it does get extreemly hot so use a spoon rest instead of leaving it in the pan while food cooks.

Yes, but make sure it's not being exposed to heat from the stove. I've got a gas stove and if any of the heat from the flames washes over the pan the handle holder gets hot AND STAYS HOT!

The description states the lid and handles are silicone, which can handle direct heat up to 500 degrees. You will not have a problem with a wood stove melting these.

Martlyn....i have had my stock pot for over a year and the answer is no, as far as i know....i have used it a lot to make demigalaze'...and other long time at higher tempetures and they do get fairly warm, but not really hot, and i feel that they are better than silicone...if they did get so hot that they did cause pain, just use a dish towel to hold....you go old school, it/they work well....i was in training to be a chef before i discovered medicine....john

They are cast iron, meaning it's all one molded iron wok. Yes, the handles do get hot and take a while to cool down. Always wear oven gloves or a hot mitt when positioning the hot wok. Overall I like my wok, you can't take it away from me! Hope this helps... Jerry

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.

Eric, I can tell you when I bought this item it stated in the last line of the item description "Comfortable silicone and cast stainless steel handles are oven safe to 400°f and dual riveted for extra strength, lifetime customer satisfaction - guaranteed" and if I ever become dissatisfied, I will expect them to honor their pledge. Hope this helps. -Don

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.
