Do the silicon handles get hot during cooking?

No, not at all. There is a slight design flaw with the lids and the handles on the big pot. The lids are glass and the handles on the lids are a bit too close to the covers' surfaces. The soup pot handles are very close to the metal. The handles don't get hot, but they're really close to the hot metal of the pot and glass in the lids. As a matter of safety, I always use pot holders, because I'd prefer not to burn my knuckles. But you have nothing to worry about with the saucepans and the skillets.Hope this helps!

The stockpot can get too hot to handle. Not scalding, but can still get pretty hot, so be cautious. The other pans are no issue. I havent had a situation where they are too hot to handle with bare hands.

Since I only use these on the stove top, on an electric stove, I've not noticed that the handles get hot at all. I pick them right up without a problem or a potholder. The handles are nice and long, so it hasn't been an issue. Hope this helps.

From my experience they only get hot if you're cooking something else and the handle of the one is near the burner of another. Just the pan by itself on the burner does not get hot when cooking. We use a regular gas stove if that makes any difference.

I have never noticed the handles getting hot, the cup where you place the potatoes does get hot of course since they are hot when you are ricing them. You are not going to get burned while using it however.

I gave mine away as a gift to a gal I was dating at the time. I have another model at my home made by farberware which also has an aluminum handle, but it is never too hot to the touch even with boiling water. The side handles do heat up on the farberware model and you have to use pot holders when straining.

No, I haven't noticed any heat coming from the handles. Hope that helps. So far this has been a great product!

No, the pans hold the heat very well and the handles stay comfortable to the touch.

Yes, if you mean 'are they safe to handle on the stove without getting too hot?' Sometimes, they may get a little warm, however l I have never gotten burned by the handles. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the set for several months but I now have trouble with sticking. I am not nearly as happy with the set as I originally was.

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.

High heat on any pan other than cast iron is not the best for them and your food.I have not had this problem with the handle getting to hot to handle.

I have never had a problem with the handle becoming too hot while simmering for any amount of time on the stovetop.

I have had no issues with the handles getting hot. I haven't really used the pot lids during cooking, so I cannot comment on that. I also have done much transferring from cook top to oven to finish off a dish.

Absolutely NOT!!! These handles were made to stay even temp. The only way they would be HOT would be to have the other burner on and the handle over it!

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.

No, the handle and lid are very resistant to heat. But I haven't cooked over high heat for an extended period. Overall, a very nice pan!

I bought these in July and do not have any problems with the metal handles. They do not get hot.

You are correct. The handles are made of metal and will heat up as the wok warms up. I find myself not needing to use the handles while cooking since the wok never moves due to the weight. Still going on strong in our house :)
