does it feel hot on the outside while cooking?

Yes, it does. The metal around the ceramic cooking bowl looks like it's double, but it still gets hot. The handles don't get more than warm, though.

I don't recall that it gets very hot on the outside. It might be uncomfortable, but I don't think it would cause a real burn. I would be more concerned that a 15-month child might push it over, and/or want to fuss with the control buttons on the side.

Yes. The exterior is slightly warm on the bottom, but not enough to heat up whatever is underneath.

A typical crockpot gets significantly hotter on the outside than this Risotto Plus, in my experience. The outside will barely be warm but the inside cooking unit bowl (the part you want to be hot) will be quite hot when operating, so be careful!

Nope! I've used mine without turning it off, or taking breaks, for well over an hour and haven't felt it get hot yet.

No, It doesn't get that hot, at least not to burn on the front if you touch it. It will get warm. The outside doesn't get hot.

yes, I have only used mine a couple times but very pleased with it except it does get hot on the outside

not particularly hot at all. i keep a couple of utensils on the top of the oven and heat has never been an issue

I have not noticed it getting unusually hot. I really like this pan. It seems easier to clean then my other stainless pots (we only use stainless steel to avoid toxic non-stick coatings). Lid fits great too.

The outside does get hot as the product is stainless steel. I typically put a cutting board under the product just in case. The product did not produce enough heat to worry about heating the room versus the oven.

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

It doesn't get too hot. I have it sitting on my counter and use it every day. There are heat safe handles on the side to use if you need to move it while it's cooking. I have never been burned using this oven. I would say it gets warm, but no more than that.

when I've had hot liquids in it, the outside will get a little warm but its not really noticeable. Never had any kind of issue or thought about it until Amazon sent me this question.

No not too hot to touch on outside---You use the handle. It's a great product.

The outside of the oven does get warm, but not terribly hot. The door gets hot, but the handle stays cool.
