Do the handles get really hot when used on the stove? So do you use a mit when you cook with it?

Th handles get hot, not red hot. We use pot holders when moving the pan. It is an excellent pan.

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

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.

I have had no problems with the handle heating up while cooking. I have had this pan for several months now and use it frequently. I love it!

Kathy, The handles definitely do get hot when you use the removable case-iron insert on a stove. I always use pot holders to move the cast-iron insert off a burner. It's such an advantage to be able to brown food before you cook it in the slow-cooker that I don't mind using the pot holders.

I've had the handles on the 8-quart stock pot get hot during cooking. The shape of the pot makes it just slightly narrower than the burners on our glass-top electric range. This puts the handles above the heat rising from the stovetop. That's the only piece of this set that the handles get hot on that I've noticed although the lid handles also get hot when used for a long cooking time and of course the handles will get hot if you use the pots in the oven. We absolutely love the saute pan from this set. It's perfect for so many of our cooking needs.

I have never noticed the handles getting hot, the cup where you place the potatoes does get hot of course since they are hot when you are ricing them. You are not going to get burned while using it however.

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 did not get hot. I have a glass top stove. I do keep the handle outside the heating circle. Hope this helps.

The handle does get hot but not as hot as plastic. You would need a mitt. We keep ours on our wood stove. On the cook stove, it doesn't get as hot.

Yes, the Handles do get hot on the "pan" as well as on the glass top. This is still the best slow cooker we've ever had..!!!

The handle does not get hot unless you are using the pan to cook in the oven. Then you will need a hot pad.

The handle does not get hot. We don't use a mitt to move pan around or serve unless you grab the handle near the pan which we don't. Little extra info we have had this pan since June of 2012 and it still works great. We do use it at least once a week.

Somewhat safe - I still think it might be hot on your hand, but maybe less so than on a gas stove. I think the heat travels up the handle from the kettle's pot itself. The handle appears to be a combo of plastic and rubber - and tends to get hot enough all over that I usually use a hotpad or my sleeve to pour when the kettle boils.

I have had no issues with the handles getting hot. I haven't really used the pot lids during cooking, so I cannot comment on that. I also have done much transferring from cook top to oven to finish off a dish.

The handle is iron too and therefore gets hot. I use it on my gas stovetop - which is fire so assume a grill or other fire would work as well

Yes, the handle got warm, not hot, when I boiled water in the skillet to check for heat. However, it was in the normal range. With the usual care in cooking I feel there is no danger. This is the Best Non -Stick Cookware I have ever used. I gave this as a gift as I am very proud to own it myself. Thank you

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
