Does the handle stay cool while in use? Can you grab the handle without using an oven mitt?

Yes the long and strong handle stays cool during use. Best pan I've ever used. This is my second one

The handle stays cool when cooking on the stove top. I've never used it in the oven.

there is a rubber insert between the handle and it does stay cool to the touch, it might depended on how much heat you are using but for the most part i think you would be ok.

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.

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

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.

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.

Yes, it does get too hot on the handle. Mine didn't last very long. Too bad because if it didn't get too hot it would be a great one!

The handle would not be ovenproof beyond keeping food warm in it (Oven 170 degrees).The nonstick feature is as advertised and a joy to use on the stove top. Clean up is a quick wipe and rinse, no scrubbing necessary.

The handle has a silicone rubber sleeve over it so it will only get warm, not hot. You will not burn your hand when picking it up.

The handle does get hot after a few minutes. I usually use a towel or an oven glove to hold the handle. I am using an outdoor, high BTU burner and use high heat, so that may make a difference.

It can get a bit warm. I keep a flat pot holder, kitchen cloth close. But, I wouldn't trade this wok for any of those with the screwed on handle (or any other wok, really). No moving parts, solid handle, solid feel.

The handle is metal with a heat resistant silicon grip. It is not oven safe.

No, The handle does not get hot. The cook ware is the best yet and does not require high heat setting to cook with. I therefore save energy and less cooking time with his products. I am very pleased with this cookware and the set I purchased which is well worth it.

Yes, the handle gets hot fast while cooking. Since it's so heavy you may not need to hold the handle. But definitely need gloves to move it after cooking

No. If you keep the handle in the upright direction it gets warm but not too hot. If you have the handle bent to the side while boiling it does get hotter, but can still be touched

Not at all. The handle stays cool no matter what. This thing is awesome. My only regret is not getting a bigger one.

Yes. Handle stays cool and unit shuts off if you pick it up or tip it over. Heat comes out of vents below fake flame - vents probably get warm but not hot. I recall this is a ceramic heater which should not get really hot like other types of heaters. My main complaint would be it is a little noisy but I like the low price and small size.

Most definitely, it gets hot. Before the egg is even done, you don't dare touch the handle. I have to use an oven mitt. That is my only complaint. It should have a rubber or plastic coated handle. The handle, about 1/8" in diameter, is connected right to the pan, and the heat very quickly conducts to the handle.
