When you leave the screen on the pan, does the handle transmit heat? In other words, does the handle get hot? Hot handle when on pan for 4 min?

No it does not get hot, even after minutes have passed, as in frying bacon. In my case, the pan I use is smaller diameter than the screen so the ring does not touch the pan but sits outside it, the screen sits flush on the pan's edge. No heat is transmitted.

Based on my experience the handle does not transmit heat at all...and I've left it on the pan for longer than 4 minutes.

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

Yes, the handle gets hot. I don't know why it doesn't actually get as hot as I expected it would, but it does get hot enough to burn you if used over an extended period of time. Crepes are not prepared at a very high temperature, so I haven't counted it as a negative, but I do have little slip-on pot holder sleeves that fit over the handles of many of my pans - and keep them near when using this one. I really love this pan. Hope this helps!

Yes. Handle stays cool and unit shuts off if you pick it up or tip it over. Heat comes out of vents below fake flame - vents probably get warm but not hot. I recall this is a ceramic heater which should not get really hot like other types of heaters. My main complaint would be it is a little noisy but I like the low price and small size.

No, the handle is never hot. There are two steam escape holes on the lid. These should be positioned to allow the steam to escape to the side. The handle is also made from a plastic that does not appear to conduct heat.

I don't cook things for more than 20 mins in it. The handle for the pot doesn't get hot. The handle to the lid does get hot though. I love this pot.

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 helper handle on the front lip (the short handle) gets too hot to touch very quickly. The long handle (opposite side) doesn't heat up as quickly. Still, when I've got mine on the burner (four times a week), I do NOT touch any handles--top, helper or main--without a buffer (mitt or towel). I learned the hard way.

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!!

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.

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 handles get hot because they are not plastic or rubber coated including the sides of the pans. They cook evenly and are beautiful and so it is a trade off I guess. You just need a towel or pot holder handy before grabbing anything. If this type of pan is something you really want, you will get used to using them. I have no regrets with my purchase.

No, the handle does not get hot. I have used this pan now for many months daily, the best pan I ever purchased. The interior is still perfect, even when exposed to fairly high heat. Can wholeheartedly recommend this product.

I use the pan on a flat top electric stove with the pan being heated with a small diameter heating element. Under those conditions, the handle does not get hot. I do not normally cook more than two eggs at a time- usually just one. I like the pan a lot.

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.

The handle does not get hot when cooking. There is actually rubber padding on the underside that keeps it cool.

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