Please let me know if the handles are heat resistant.

If by that you mean, do they stay cool when in use ... no -- they get hot. That is the only thing that I would criticize about the pans though. Other than that, they are great.

The handles are not completely heat-resistant. However, if I have cooked something for a short amount of time, say 20 minutes or less, I can hold the pans by their handles. If I need to use a pan for an extended time, I need a pot holder. If what I am cooking makes a lot of steam, the handles will get pretty warm, hot over an extended time. But I find my supposedly head-resistant handles will do that in the presence of steam also. All in all, I am pleased with how these handles respond to heat.

Yes they are. For the price these pots are remarkably high quality. The handle warms a bit when cooking, but it is imperceptible and I only mention it because I don't want you to buy them and blame me for shoddy advice. That being said, I'm deliriously happy with these pots. Buy some liquid barkeepers friend to keep them shiny.

Yes, the handles are heavy, solid, stainless steel, so they can go into an oven. They can withstand as much, if not more, heat than the pan itself.

They are not, they are stainless like the rest of the pan, and they do eventually get hot from stove cooking, but it takes a while.

The handles are coated plastic/vinyl over metal. I have only used the pots a few times, they seem to be durable.

We have not had a problem with heat. The handles seem to stay cool and they are long enough to keep your hands away from the hot parts. I've always had some sort of coating too but am very happy with these.However if they are in the oven, they get hot as would any pan.

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

Unless the handle is heated in the oven...as with all handles...these handles will be cool to the touch while cooking on the stovetop. You will love this cookware style!!

You are correct. The handles are made of metal and will heat up as the wok warms up. I find myself not needing to use the handles while cooking since the wok never moves due to the weight. Still going on strong in our house :)

Yes, if you mean 'are they safe to handle on the stove without getting too hot?' Sometimes, they may get a little warm, however l I have never gotten burned by the handles. I have to say that I was extremely happy with the set for several months but I now have trouble with sticking. I am not nearly as happy with the set as I originally was.

If you dont mind soot on the cookware then yes. Keep in mind the handles have plastic formed around the metal... these may melt but mine havent yet. You could always take a boxcutter and shave the plastic off prior to use.

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.

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

Yes, Virginia the external aluminum does get hot during cooking. You should always use the handles.

AS said, the heads are and that is the part in contact with food and the heat. However, the handles are great disappointment because they easily get melted if left resting on the edge of the pan for a few seconds. The head also tends to comes off rather easily after a while.

I used them on an open flame but made sure to keel the handles away from the heat. The rubber on them may melt

I have had my set about five months now. I've not had an issue with the handles getting hot. I love my set!

For the most part the handles stay cool. I have noticed the handles get hot near the pan when the pan is heated to a high temperature.

I have left them in the pan while cooking on medium/high but the handle is regular plastic and would melt.

I have never had a problem with that handles getting hot, I was cooking potatoes and some water bobbled out on the handle and Made it warm. I use these with induction cooking, they are great pan. They are well made and highly recommended
