No this is the best set of cookware I have owned. They clean up easy as well.

Yes, the handle gets really hot. You have to grab it with a pot holder or dish towel which gets a little awkward considering the size of the pan. I do love the pan. The small size makes for some very cute eggs. I have plans to crochet up something to slip over the handle tightly to solve this issue.

No, the handle in the pots and pans will not get hot, they are well designed. However the handle in the lid will get hot of course.

The handle does not get hot when cooking. There is actually rubber padding on the underside that keeps it cool.

Yes. We have never had a problem with the handles being too hot. We still use this set everyday! Looks like new!

I bought these in July and do not have any problems with the metal handles. They do not get hot.

No, the rubber-clad handles do not get hot due to the pan being on the stove, even if on a burner for an extended time. Of course, you need to ensure that the handles are not above an adjacent burner: they would get hot if positioned above a hot burner.

As for the comment about pan handles heating easily, that only happens when you put a small pot on a large burner , otherwise if pot is placed on right size burner there is no direct heat ca using handles to get hot.

Mostly - in comparison to many pans. The lid handles get hot if you've had them on for a while and naturally they get very hot if you've had them in the oven.

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.

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!

No, the handle does not get hot. It also works well on an induction cooktop.

I've been using this set for over a year now, and the handles haven't gotten hot. I don't grab them down by the base, but I have used the big pot to cook things assembly-line style, and have never had a problem. I really love these pots.

No, the handle does not get hot at all. I havd had the pot for about a year and use it daily. I don't really have any complaints!

The handles can become hot. If just heating up something they are fine. But if something takes a while to cook I do need to use a pot holder

Absolutely NOT!!! These handles were made to stay even temp. The only way they would be HOT would be to have the other burner on and the handle over it!

The handles gets warmish if the pan is kept on the stove for say longer than say 20 minutes. I use a gas stove and it could be because of the high flames radiating on to the handles. I would recommend using a mitt. But it a small con considering the quality of the product. I have been using it for more than 3 years and still rave about it.
