Confused - picture shows a pot with a wood handle (looks like Texsport), not the GSI with silicone handle - I want the GSI with silicone handle. ??

I actually have this and used it this week when going camping. It looks like wood, but its not. It works GREAT and doesn't get hot.

The coffee pot we received did not have a wood handle. It had a black "Plastic' (some sort of plastic/Silicone) handle. It works well on the gas range we have. We also use it on top of our wood stove. with no problems

Yes, it's got the silicon handle at least the one I did had it. I love the thing. I never had any issues on the gas stove with a hot handle. I haven't used it on and open fire though but with proper care of the embers and placement I think it would be fine. Just don't forget it on the flames. =) Also if you do get any model of these with the little top piece. Only tighten it till very lightly snug, the pot expands and contracts under heat so if you tighten the top to much you risk breaking it or making it not fit right anymore.

The pot I received is a GSI pot. I reviewed very carefully before I ordered. I do not like Texsport. This pot is a GSI pot with a wood handle not a silicone handle. It is an excellent pot. I made the right choice. You can,t go wrong if you buy this pot. I hope this helps you in your choice.

My handle is NOT wood! It's got some kind of silicone covering over it so it doesn't get too hot. We have the GSI as pictured

The handle was already on my tea pot when I received mine. You might want to call the company about it.

I'm sorry, but I do't know the answer to your question either. The pot was a gift to my daughter and she doesn't know either. She suggested you write or call the company that made the pot. Good luck!

It had one tradional wok handle and one long handle like a pot... Just like the picture

My guess, it's a rubberized silicon blend of some sort. It stays cool, grips well and makes hanging on to a hot pot easy. The more I use this pot the better I like it. Use it every day. Heat water for tea and coffee.

I know when I was looking at these on Amazon that one of the pics had a different handle showing than the rest. The one I got has a handle just like what P. Boguslawski described. Very well built.

I don't know the difference, but I love this pot. We use it for everything. Would make an excellent wedding gift to the couple that is just starting out. It is by far my favorite piece of cookware....

The instructions did not specify so I use the stainless steel I already had. Word of caution, the pots are beautiful, that is one of the two reasons I purchased them, if you fry, they won't remain that way on the inside, just accept it.

I just returned one due to some sort of material, plastic or siliconon inside the pot sealing the handle attachment.

The handles are stainless steel, but the main handle part is covered in silicone.

I bought a very similar one from somewhere else. Only the handle was different. It, like most anything else like this, had made in China stamped on the bottom.

This is not a definitive answer. I have a similar model that is several years old, and the interior finish failed. Could have been my fault in using the wrong utensils, I don't remember now what happened. I only write to say that it is a smart question. We were crazy about this pot while it lasted, for what it's worth.

I gave mine away as a gift to a gal I was dating at the time. I have another model at my home made by farberware which also has an aluminum handle, but it is never too hot to the touch even with boiling water. The side handles do heat up on the farberware model and you have to use pot holders when straining.

Wrong. I own it. The pot is definitely not stainless steel and it does have a non stick surface. Mine burned and the nonstick peeled. Not safe to use after this happens. I'm buying a new one.

The photo for this product seems to be an older version. The new one that I received does have the newer, curved handle. Search for Microplane Professional on Amazon and you'll see what the new handle should look like.

I'm not positive, but I think that you're right. I just dragged it out of the cupboard to look, lol. It appears to be aluminum with a stainless steel handle. It did not cause any discolouration to the pot that it sat in.

No mine is the one shown on thee picture. The chili just shows food cooked in it. I Love this pot. Just the right size for two or four people.
