No, the handle stays cool. I LOVE this elegant carafe. I'll only buy this carafe in the future.

No, the handle does NOT get hot. This is the best (functional and elegant) coffee carafe on the planet.

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.

No, the handle does not get hot for me. I love this because it fits in different mugs I use and the fine mesh keeps the leaves inside the infuser. Best infuser I have used.

The handle does not get hot unless you are using the pan to cook in the oven. Then you will need a hot pad.

Yes it does. It would be nice if the handle was a different material so it wouldn't. Usually I just take it off really fast or use a hot pad.

If you look closely at the photo, the handle is metal as well as the pot itself. Yes, it will get hot, but if you use a hand towel or potholder, it is just fine. I used this for my morning tea, and for heating water to wash dishes with. It is a great pot. Do not run in your dishwasher. Only hand wash, just as you would your other camping enamelware.

Not at all. The handle stays cool no matter what. This thing is awesome. My only regret is not getting a bigger one.

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

My experience is yes it is hot! The handle is just warm. I use mine to make mug cakes a lot or heat tea water. They are great cups and I love them!

The handle stays cool when cooking on the stove top. It does, however get hot when used in the oven.

The handle can get hot if you're cooking over high heat over an extended amount of time, but it's fine if you're just cooking something simple like eggs.

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

The handle has never overheated but it does not turn off when not in use it just clicks and turns on periodically. I can hear it and one time it was steaming and spitting water. It has totally ruined my new ironing board cover.

I agree with Isabella. While it does get warm, provided you keep the handle straight up it does not get too hot to pick up if you don't use a potholder. I also use mine on a cast iron wood stove and have never had a problem.

No, it does not get hot. I have never had it overheat or even get warm to the touch.

Yes, the handle gets hot - however, it comes with a heat resistant potholder that you slide over the handle after it boils. This works very well and alleviates the problem. FYI - I am sending mine back to Chantal itself as the spout broke.

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