Is the handle comfortable to hold? Does it get hot if leaned up against a cast iron skillet? It looks like it has a "V" shape to it !

Wrong item was sent and gave me a runaround when I wanted to return it and get my money back. I wouldn't recommend buying from them

It's relatively thin metal, so if the cast iron is hot it will get hot...but do will most anything else against cast iron

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!

No I have not had a problem with the handle being to hot. Seems like it would cause it's metal but so far no problem at all.

What you should do is take the handle off and see how it is connected, it is a removable handle it is designed that way.....then you will feel better ...it is a very nice pan :)

Hello:The handle is not squishy, its solid. It feels great. Easy to use. Blade is super sharp. I like the knife a lot. Feels like good quality.

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

It is certainly not as heavy as the cast iron skillets from decades ago that my grandmother cooked with, but it's still a substantial skillet that I love to use. I also like to serve from it because the design is unique. I recently had a brunch and just served the eggs from the skillet and got comments from friends who thought it looked great.

The handle is made of plastic; the bristles are brass. I was leery of having plastic around a hot grill but I think because of the angle of the brush it is less of a concern. You wouldn't want to lay it on anything hot. So far I like the brush. Go ahead and get it!

Cook's Illustrated/ATK prefer this pan, yes. The handle is a bit skinny for some users. It both cooks very well and cleans up nicely with Barkeepers Friend. Great skillet.

The handle is smooth all the way around. I would still recommend it but if you are new to at shaving you might have to get used to it.

I can pick it up without protection unless whatever is in it has gotten dry and burnt. Then it might be too hot to grab. I don't have arthritis, so I don't know if it is "arthritis-comfortable." I do think the handle might need to be a bit fuller for a hurting hand.

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

The handle is welded on tightly. Takes a little to get use to but I suggest having a handle free one as a go to when entertaining.

The handle can get hot if you're cooking over high heat over an extended amount of time, but it's fine if you're just cooking something simple like eggs.

No. It's your typical electric skillet with hard plastic handles. I love using it when I have a lot of "mouths" at dinner. It's like having an extra burner to cook on. Perfect for frying up/cooking up anything you would use a regular skillet for and washes up easy. I only hope this one lasts as long as my last one!

High heat on any pan other than cast iron is not the best for them and your food.I have not had this problem with the handle getting to hot to handle.

The handle gets warm; we don't use a potholder with it. No one in our house has severe arthritis in their hands, but my elderly mom lifts the pan with no discomfort.
