Does the handle "stay cool" while cooking?

The handle stays cool when cooking on the stove top. It does, however get hot when used in the oven.

I have not had a problem with the handle heating on the stove top.Make sure the flame is not up so high that it is under the handle.

About an inch and half to 2 inches up from the skillet gets hot the rest of the handle stays cool.

This was a gift, and I have no way of knowing how to answer any of the questions about this cookware.

Relatively speaking, it certainly does. As an example, I heat the pan for 5 mins first, then heat oil in it for another 4 mins or so. Then cook a fried egg in it, which is probably about another 3 mins. The handle will warm up slightly near the pan, but where you grab it, it stays perfectly cool enough for normal use. (Should point out that my 'prep time' is for the all stainless, not the 'non stick')

The handles can become hot. For normal heating up something they are fine. But for prolonged cooking I do need a pot holder.

The handles do stay cool, and in addition the product makes the best steaks I've ever had!

No, the handles do not get hot when you cook on the stove, only when you put it in the oven.

No, the handle does not get hot. I have used this pan now for many months daily, the best pan I ever purchased. The interior is still perfect, even when exposed to fairly high heat. Can wholeheartedly recommend this product.

Yes, it does get too hot on the handle. Mine didn't last very long. Too bad because if it didn't get too hot it would be a great one!

Yes. It gets very hot. Definitely a con on this. I have to hold the handle with a small towel.

Generally... yes. The handles on the pans stay cool with almost any amount of cooking time. Only if you have been heating for a long time (20+ minutes) do the pan handles feel warm at all. I have never had any difficulty with the pan handles getting so warm that they are uncomfortable to handle. The handles on the glass lids for the pots aren't as efficient at stating cool. If the lid has been on the pot for some time, especially if higher heat is being used, they do get warm to the touch. However, they are still cooler than the glass part of the lid. And, if you are setting the lid on for a few minutes and then removing it to stir spaghetti or soup or maybe a sauce, the handle generally isn't uncomfortable. If I left it on for a long time, I would likely grab a cloth or pot holder first. This is a great set of cookware. And when you compare the cost, the value is terrific Hope this helps.

Yes, Virginia the external aluminum does get hot during cooking. You should always use the handles.

Yes the handles stay cool on all my Cuisinart pots and pans. The only time my handles get warm is if I cook on the burner that is larger than my pot and heat rise up the outside and when I put the pots in the oven which is great. No more pouring from a pot into a casserole dish for the oven.

Yes, the handle does jiggle slightly. It doesn't interfere with using it, though.

I'm not sure what you mean by a helper handle, but the handle only gets hot if you put it in the oven. If you are doing stove top the handle stays cool. (YOU JUST NEED A FORK-LIFT TO PICK UP THIS HEAVY SKILLET!)

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.

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

Yes, the kettle has a flat bottom and the handle does remain cool to the touch while the water is heating.

We have had ours for a long time and the handle doesn't get gooey at all, it doesn't even get warm. I would buy this model again in an instant...we love it.
