Do the handles heat up during use? I prefer silicone handles in general.

I bought the Emeril cookware for my wife for Christmas, at the time there were a few complaints about the handles becoming hot. After using the cookware my wife says she has had no problem with hot handles and really likes the cookware.

Martlyn....i have had my stock pot for over a year and the answer is no, as far as i know....i have used it a lot to make demigalaze'...and other long time at higher tempetures and they do get fairly warm, but not really hot, and i feel that they are better than silicone...if they did get so hot that they did cause pain, just use a dish towel to hold....you go old school, it/they work well....i was in training to be a chef before i discovered medicine....john

No, Only if other open pots are boiling would they get hot. But generally speaking no.

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.

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've not had any problems with the handles of my Calphalon pans getting hot while using them on the stovetop. And the handles are quite comfortable. These are great pans!

They certainly get warm like any cookware, but they don't get as hot as the rest of the pot. My mom's stainless steel cookware doesn't have the insulated handles like the Calphalon Simply line and her handles get too hot to comfortably handle. These do not.

The handles are stainless steel and riveted to the pans, meaning they can probably withstand more heat than the other parts of the pans can. The only drawback to the handles is that because they're 100% metal, they won't always be cool to the touch.

Yes. The handle does get hot, and you will need a glove or towel. The beauty of these authentic pans is that they get hot very fast...and hence are great for bringing liquids to a boil. The surface discourages sticking, too!

The handles are like a toughened plastic found on saucepan handles. The handles havnt got hot for me, but my typical usage hase been on a gas ring with lower heat(thats why I bought it in the first place - fast cooking with little heat). From a durability standpoint the only"soft" part is the flexible seal that runs inside the rim.

Have had these pots for about 6 months and use them frequently. Handles on lids tend to get hot but we just use a hot pad so not a big deal. The handles on the pans themselves don't get very hot at all.

The handles stay cool on the stovetop. The lid handle does get hot on high heat but not at lower temps.

They are heat resistant. The handles are actually very nice with a comfortable grip.

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 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.

No, they don't! And they are comfortable handles too. The small stock pot handles do get warm but I think that's true for any brand.

the handles stay cool, if you can see the picture of the handle where it goes from silver to black---the black part is rubber or silicone so it can be handled. hope this helps.

I thought the handles would get hot. I was very pleased to find the handles were easy to handle even after cooking for a while.

For the most part, yes. With exception on the stock pot all are usually cool to the touch. With heavy use, the shorter stock pot handles can get warm. Obviously if placed in the oven, handles will be hot to touch.
