what are the handles made of and how strong are they? do the heads fall of in sticky batters? will the handles melt if used in a hot fry pan? Is the brush good?

The handles are made of plastic and generally strong enough for daily use. Due to the heat resistance of plastic is different with silicone, the handles do melt if leave touching with hot fry pan. Please do not leave the handles in touch with hot edge of your cooking utensils to extend the life of this product. The handles of brush are made of stainless steel wire and are good based on our customer's feedback. Thank you for your questions.

I have left them in the pan while cooking on medium/high but the handle is regular plastic and would melt.

I actually boiled pasta the other night and picked up the pot handles and they were NOT at all hot. I'm not sure about a frying pan but I'm assuming they wouldn't be hat either.

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 stock pot handles get warm. The other handles are long enough that they don't get uncomfortably warm. I would also like to add, that I love my pots. I have not had any problem cleaning them. I deglaze the skillets with water while the pan is hot and they clean right up. If necessary soaking the pans loosens up any food that my still be in the pan.

The colored handle will melt if you touch it to a hot pan or burner. The Grey utensil part however is very high quality and doesn't melt at all. The little notch on the bottom of the colored part allows you to put the utensils on the counter top without the Grey part touching the counter it's very handy.

No, they do not stay cool so I use a pot holder. My old set had wood on the handles & lids but then you could not put those in the oven or dishwasher. I knew before I purchased that would be a problem as I had one pan like these. Hope this helps.

That is a good question. I have had mine for over 9 months--due to being a personal chef--I wash a LOT of dishes/pots/pans by hand. I still haven't needed to replace the brush head. That being said, I have looked for replacements & there isn't any. Here is probably why--as best I can see how it is constructed, it would not be as efficient with a replaceable brush. I have had many other brands--& ALL have leaked out soap---bristles couldn't withstand high temps of pan or HOT water. Being that this one lasted so far 9 mths & still going--for the $9 bucks I paid--I say it's still worth it. I will get a new one when this one is totally worn out--but it just keeps on going on strong--- That is a good question.

The handles are actually pretty bulletproof. They look perfect after 10 or so months of use. The parts getting dirtiest/charred are the machined lip and the bottom (gas burners). But that may or may not be relatively cleanable with something a bit stronger than dish soap...

They are cast iron, meaning it's all one molded iron wok. Yes, the handles do get hot and take a while to cool down. Always wear oven gloves or a hot mitt when positioning the hot wok. Overall I like my wok, you can't take it away from me! Hope this helps... Jerry

I don't know for sure what the bristles are made of--my guess would be plastic or nylon. The handle is a hollow metal tube. Many reviewers said it bent easily, but I think if used appropriately it is pretty sturdy. I can see how it would bend if you whacked something with it.

The handles on the brush are comfortable. They are not real hard plastic, like you see on some brushes, but they aren't that real cushy soft some brushes have either. I love these brushes so much, I threw all my other brushes in the trash!

It depends on the design of the skillet/pan and the weight of the handle. Some skillet/pans are not stable.

For the most part the handles stay cool. I have noticed the handles get hot near the pan when the pan is heated to a high temperature.

I agree it seems weird but the handles do not get hot. Just be sure you hold them on the handle part only. My grandkids use them with no issues. Once the marshmallow is cooked the way you like it, it just slides off. A little marshmallow is left on the stick but you just slide a new marshmallow over it and you are good to go.

I would say no- handle too long. Handles made of wood and would eventually burn off. Requires VERY hot and direct heat to the pans.

They have plastic handles which I think would melt. But if you ask the manufacturer they would know best
