It does not seem like Calphalon makes rubber grips for the handles. Older versions have them. Do the redesigned handles on these pans get hot?

I've not had any problems with the handles of my Calphalon pans getting hot while using them on the stovetop. And the handles are quite comfortable. These are great pans!

Not that I've ever experienced though, frankly, I can't say that I've ever cooked at very high heat over a long period of time. We like the pans so much that we gave a pair to one daughter and the other daughter before we knew it had bought her own. I should buy stock in the company!

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.

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.

I think I remember sometime back seeing a video on how these were made. I think the handles are dipped into the plastic and allowed to cool. I wouldn't remove them because I value their comfort grip. However, you could take a sharp knife and with the tip, run it the length of the rubber grip and just peal it off.

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.

Disclaimer - I have not used it in the oven. The handles are have a rubber or possibly silicone coating. Best move is to check with Calphalon to see what they recommend. For oven use I would look for a pan with an all metal handle. Calphalon marks it as oven safe to 400F http://store.calphalon.com/simply-calphalon-nonstick-12-in-everyday-pan/298884

That's why I chose these pots and pans, for their handles. My other set had steel handles that did get hot and were hard to handle. My hands are arthritic and these have a nice fat, cushiony COOL grip.

Yes the handles stay cool on all my Cuisinart pots and pans. The only time my handles get warm is if I cook on the burner that is larger than my pot and heat rise up the outside and when I put the pots in the oven which is great. No more pouring from a pot into a casserole dish for the oven.

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.

I still place my pot in oven but no hotter than 350 or 375 with these new handles.

I haven't used my pans in the oven yet but the rubber handle slides off and leaves a solid metal handle. These are by far the best pans I have ever had!

I would say no- handle too long. Handles made of wood and would eventually burn off. Requires VERY hot and direct heat to the pans.

It sort of depends on what you're cooking. If it's something with a lot of steam like a soup or pasta, the handles can get a little warm. Usually they are fine to handle without a mitt, but this is assuming you don't use high heat for a long time. Comparative to other cookware, I think the handles stay fairly cool.

Yes they have rubber handles built in under on the bottom side....nice pots and pans....would recommend

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.

Absolutely! I have used them for years on my Calphalon pots and pans. I couldn't use them without the handle covers!

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.

Th handles get hot, not red hot. We use pot holders when moving the pan. It is an excellent pan.
