No, the handle is cool to the touch. I think it's made out of bakelite. Kind of like a sauce pan. But it's always a good idea to wear a pair of leather utility gloves when working around molten metal. But you don't need any special type of high heat gloves. Hope that helps!

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.

It gets warm, BUT not as hot as the cokingportion of the pot. I could pick it up without mitts.

It sort of depends on what you're cooking. If it's something with a lot of steam like a soup or pasta, the handles can get a little warm. Usually they are fine to handle without a mitt, but this is assuming you don't use high heat for a long time. Comparative to other cookware, I think the handles stay fairly cool.

No. I tried to hold it once with bare hands and almost burned myself. They are thinner than Pyrex glass cookware, but thicker than Tupperware. Hope this helps.

Not in my experience. The pan and handle are big enough that the heat dissipates before getting to the handle.

I only own the towel. I have never found a need for the gloves. I know that doesn't answer your question but we each have a towel and no gloves.

pot holders for the handles are needed, yes; maybe moreso for gas flame than electric but better to be safe than sorry

If you have "chef hands," you probably would be able to lift the lid without an oven mitt, but I have thin skin and so cannot. The handle doesn't get hot on my burner. I also have to use a pot holder on the inside cups, but a professional chef could do without.

Yes. These are a great glove to work around wood stoves. I've touched red hot cols with the glove on without burning myself. I also touch hot metal without a problem. Great glove.

The gloves are good for up to 450. So as long as the cast iron pan you are using doesn't exceed that, you will be fine.

It depends if you have something cooking nearby. I have only ever had a problem with hot handles once from the steam of a pot next to it heating it up.

The handle has a silicone rubber sleeve over it so it will only get warm, not hot. You will not burn your hand when picking it up.

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

No. You really don't need a recipe. Just microwave the potatoes in the glove. They come out just like baked potatoes but in a much shorter time. Potatoes can be microwaved without the glove but the product is less moist. Be sure to turn over as they direct, half way thru the cook time.

Yes, you need to use pot holders or glofes. The handles are seamlessly cast iron, like the body of the wok.

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