Re the 3-quart Pro-Clad: Is the handle meant to stay cool or will it heat up enough to burn under certain circumstances? Thanks.

I have used it for some time now and have never had the handle get to hot to pick up.

I have this pot. I have never noticed it getting to hot to touch while cooking I can always grab it. I hope this helps

Good morning! I already responded to the question of this cute little pan, and I answered it truthfully. However, after having read the comments once more, I went straight to my pan to see what was going on. My pan is an "Orgreeanic", and the handle is never hot. I guess I got a different pan from what I'm seeing below.

The handle does not get hot. I had to stop and think for a minute, but I remember using the handle to turn the grill pan around while I am cooking and doing it without a hot paid. I use this pan quite often. It is great.

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.

It's too fragile for direct heat in my opinion. And the handle would be quite hot. Not meant for that.

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

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.

The 2-4 inch handle close to pan gets too hot to touch....the remaining part remains cool.I use it on electric coil .

I haven't had any problems with the pot handles getting hot. The lid handles are cool touch on the underside of the handle however the tops are not so they can heat up. If you lift the lids from under the handles its fine.

the handle will get too hot to touch if you are using the grill on high for an extended period... but for everyday grilling we have not had that experience. Even roasting a chicken (where you are not using all the burners on high) has not been a problem.

Yes, it does get very hot unless you get a fitted silicone cover for the handle. And it is quite heavy ..the pan. But good quality if you take care of it properly.

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, the handle gets hot fast while cooking. Since it's so heavy you may not need to hold the handle. But definitely need gloves to move it after cooking

I think you will end up burning yourself as the handle will become hot as well - so I think it is a very bad idea...Note that this certainly not what it is designed for, and it has some form of inside isolation and can keep liquid warm for an extended amount of time

My handle routinely gets too hot to touch. The insulating handle material (neoprene-like) has changed since I first purchased this model, some years ago. (The old model never became too hot to touch.) My new, 2015 model will get too hot, requiring a pot holder. If I position the pot VERY carefully, and adjust the flame precisely, this problem will not occur.

No, it does not get hot. I own 3 different sizes in this pan. It is the most amazing pan I own. The handle is made out of a heavy duty plastic that is heat resistant.

I've had the handles on the 8-quart stock pot get hot during cooking. The shape of the pot makes it just slightly narrower than the burners on our glass-top electric range. This puts the handles above the heat rising from the stovetop. That's the only piece of this set that the handles get hot on that I've noticed although the lid handles also get hot when used for a long cooking time and of course the handles will get hot if you use the pots in the oven. We absolutely love the saute pan from this set. It's perfect for so many of our cooking needs.
