I eat super hot food. Is the bottom thick/designed enough to handle hot food with bare hands?

yes, these are very heavy. they are really nice, because you can use them in fridge, freezer, microwave and oven. I have purchased several of these before i bought this set. I think you would be very happy with them.

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.

The glass is very thick....around 1/4" thick...but you are going to be hard pressed to find glass that won't burn your hand....lol. it's not insulated on the bottom and its cooking glass. Do you pull a pie pan out of the oven without protection? Same concept applies to these... :)

No you will need to hold it with something. The glass is thick and high quality but I Dont know that there is any glass that won't need to be held with a potholder/mitts.

no,it's pretty thick all over.It has a lil heft to it.It won't move all over just bumping it.just as heavy as are stainless ones

Yes indeed, but don't grab the handle without some serious protection. I forgot once. Also it may not fit in your oven with the large handle ....

I have been able to use bare hands on all of the pieces, even after long periods on the stove top. They get hot, but not uncomfortably so. This, of course, does not apply when the pieces are used in the oven.

None that is exposed. The bottom has aluminum sandwiched between two layers of stainless steel. That enables even heat distribution.

I would say definitely, it's very dense material, it certainly would not melt if that's what you're worried about. Personally, I recommend just hand washing it very well inside and out because it's easy and quick...but if you have large hands that might not be an option.

They are very sturdy and can hold a lot. I've not had issue with hot food on them. I have been told they will hold up in the dishwasher but not personally tried that!

The handle is thin but you push down on it rather than have to squeeze it. Also, you could use an oven mitt to cushion it if you want. I had no issues with the handle but I don't have arthritis in my hands.

They are coated in plastic and don't get too hit for my caloused hands. But if you don't cook a lot, they may get a bit warm for you. Keep a hotpad nearby and you'll be fine.

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.

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

I wouldn't hold it the entire cook time but I've picked up items that were 500-600 degrees without hesitation. They are thick.

My answer is no. The heat is in the center of the lid, which hangs into the cup, and the rim is comfortable enough to handle.

Yes, there is a removeable wire handle that you can use to handle the item when hot.

I would be afraid to as it would get really hot and may burn the bottom. It doesn't feel like a heavyweight steel/metal you find in a pan.

Good question! The bottom has a type of sturdy corrugated plastic flooring. I don't know how heavy your eater is. Also consider the length of the handle and whether it can be removed when storing.

Yes, it is a very sturdy pan. The bottom is extra thick and the sides are thicker than a lot of sauce pans.
