Does the handle get hot?

Yes it does but to make a good crepe you do not need super hot.just to the point when it start to sizzle then medium heat is enough .... crepes willbrown and slide off beautifully

Yes, the handle gets hot. I don't know why it doesn't actually get as hot as I expected it would, but it does get hot enough to burn you if used over an extended period of time. Crepes are not prepared at a very high temperature, so I haven't counted it as a negative, but I do have little slip-on pot holder sleeves that fit over the handles of many of my pans - and keep them near when using this one. I really love this pan. Hope this helps!

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.

I only use it for eggs so it isn't on the burner long enough for it to get hot but I believe it would get hot if you made several crepes. Love this pan.

Yes it can, but I mainly use it for omelets, and the omelet is usually ready before the handle heats up. If you use it for longer periods, for something like cooking large numbers of crepes, you'll definitely need a holder of some sort.

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.

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.

yes, the handle gets a little hot when you have it in for a long time, but just be careful when removing it. I heat it in the microwave every so often.

Yes all parts hot except for the handle and base. I'm loving it and use it several times a day.

The helper handle is the only ine that gets hot. The long handle stays cool.

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

No, the handle is manufactured with a slight bend to it so it does not get hot at all (just warm to the touch.). Love this strainer for all my loose tea especially green and fine rooibos teas.

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.

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

No, it does not get hot. I own 3 different sizes in this pan. It is the most amazing pan I own. The handle is made out of a heavy duty plastic that is heat resistant.

The handle gets hot enough that I have to use a pot holder, but it may be because we have a gas stove with an open flame! I'm not sure if it would get that hot on a normal stove top!

Yes, the handle black part always gets super hot. I have been using this product for over 5 years and i love it. Just be careful w handle. I usually take little breaks in between so it wont get too hot.

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.

The handle does get hot, though I would not say too hot. I also find that opening it toward the outer edges versus the center is a help. I've noticed no problems with the side shelves; however, the side walls of the grill do generate a good deal of heat, so again common sense caution suggests handing trays, etc. from the outer edges of the shelves. The quality of the grill and the cooking temperatures it generates more than offset any minor inconvenience.

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

No, but the further down you go on the handle it will get hot. And one other thing to keep in mind, the inside of the pot the finish comes off. I returned the one I bought because of this problem.
