Is the handle hot after you leave it in the Thermos and need to take it out?

Depends on how long you leave it in. Normally it's not hot after 5 to 6 hours inside the Thermos. You can easily take it out by hand.

It depends, I can pick it up bare handed when it's boiling, but my wife usually uses a mitt. But the metal uprights that hold the handle get really hot so some care is needed about where your hand is placed, it also seems to matter where the tea kettle is on the burner. If it's not squarley above the flame it can cause the handle to get hot.

No not too hot to touch on outside---You use the handle. It's a great product.

The handle does not get too hot. I usually heat soups, leftovers and such and it has always been cool enough to touch. The pot itself will be warm to hot depending on what you're heating in it. Use pot holders if you're going to touch the pot.

Yes，the handle can get hot, but it is fine with a little help of cloth wrapped on.

The exterior gets warm, but not real hot because the hot oil is in a separate pan inside. The handle is fine. The lid does not lock and the oil pan isn't non-stick but I have had no problem in that reguard. Over all it's done well. It is used about 4-5 times per month.

The handle can get hot if you're cooking over high heat over an extended amount of time, but it's fine if you're just cooking something simple like eggs.

The handle does get hot but not as hot as plastic. You would need a mitt. We keep ours on our wood stove. On the cook stove, it doesn't get as hot.

The handle does not get noticeably hot (I pour steaming, but not boiling water into mine). The base certainly does get hot. I keep mine on a ceramic tea saucer for that very reason.

No, the handle does not get hot for me. I love this because it fits in different mugs I use and the fine mesh keeps the leaves inside the infuser. Best infuser I have used.

The handle is also made of cast iron. I have not had it get too hot to touch, if that is what you are wondering.

It's a wooden handle so it doesn't really get super hot, but there is boiling water just below it and metal at either end, so just as a matter of caution I use the mitt. That way I also don't worry about the steam coming out of the spout when I pour into the teapot.

The handle stays cool unless it is over another hot burner or pan. I don't use a pot holder to move it when water is boiling.

Yes, Virginia the external aluminum does get hot during cooking. You should always use the handles.

Yes the stainless part is hot on the outside. But you can always hold the plastic handle.

Yes, but for some reason, one of my lids, the handle gets hot. I have a feeling that it was a fluke, none of the others do.

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!
