Do lid handles also stay cool during cooking?

Sort of. They recommend using pans on low to medium heat. If you use them on high heat it will get hotter and be harder to clean the pans.

While the pot and pan handles stay cool, the handles on the glass lids do not stay cool. They must be lifted using a thick potholder. Had I known that beforehand I never would have bought the product. beware

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.

The handles are stainless steel and riveted to the pans, meaning they can probably withstand more heat than the other parts of the pans can. The only drawback to the handles is that because they're 100% metal, they won't always be cool to the touch.

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 - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

Yes. We have never had a problem with the handles being too hot. We still use this set everyday! Looks like new!

The lids have high handles, yes which is good when the lid is hot. To store them, I used a wire/plastic coated dish/pot wrack and they stand up behind my stacked pots/pans.

The handle does stay cool. The lip opposite the handle gets warm after 20 min or so of cooking. Not absolutely flat but pretty darned close. Works fine on my ceramic cooktop.

No, the handles do not get too hot to comfortably handle them without pot holders.

The saucepan handles stay reasonably cool when on the stove. The short handles on the pots won't stay cool.

The handles on the pans stay cool enough to touch with bare hands, but we generally use a pot holder or mitt when removing a lid when the pan is on the stovetop. Hope this helps ...

Yes the long and strong handle stays cool during use. Best pan I've ever used. This is my second one

Have had these pots for about 6 months and use them frequently. Handles on lids tend to get hot but we just use a hot pad so not a big deal. The handles on the pans themselves don't get very hot at all.

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!

Unless the handle is heated in the oven...as with all handles...these handles will be cool to the touch while cooking on the stovetop. You will love this cookware style!!

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!
