do the handles get hot?

you know I don't remember I haven't used it for a while but think I would remember if they got hot...

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!!

No. Also, I have not had any issues with the thermostat with my old one that I have had for years.

No they don't. But this is my second one and the thermostat begins to fail after 3-6 months. Initially you jiggle it, later you put a cloth under it so it makes a connection. Eventually it fails. Otherwise it's excellent. They really need to upgrade the thermostat.

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.

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!

The handles on the lids do get hot. The long handles are hot near the pan but cool at the far ends. When holding the long handles the pans can feel heavy and can be difficult to hold with one hand.

The handle does get a little warm close to the pot. and the lids knob does get hot.

No, the handle does not get hot. It also works well on an induction cooktop.

The handles are not completely heat-resistant. However, if I have cooked something for a short amount of time, say 20 minutes or less, I can hold the pans by their handles. If I need to use a pan for an extended time, I need a pot holder. If what I am cooking makes a lot of steam, the handles will get pretty warm, hot over an extended time. But I find my supposedly head-resistant handles will do that in the presence of steam also. All in all, I am pleased with how these handles respond to heat.

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

No, the handles do not get hot on the saucepans and the saute frying pans. But, the short handles on the dutch oven do get hot. But, I've never used a dutch oven whose handles didn't get hot.

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.

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.

Yes, the Handles do get hot on the "pan" as well as on the glass top. This is still the best slow cooker we've ever had..!!!

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!

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

No, the handles do not get hot; so you can easily move the wok to your serving area while the food is still cooking.
