The handles on the pans do not get hot but the handles on the pots and lids do.

There has not been a problem with safety of the handles during my use of this product. If you are asking if they get too hot: no, they do not overheat. They also are attached securely. I have been satisfied with the product.

Yes - in my experience, the handles do not get hot. I can grab them without any problem while cooking.

No, not at all. There is a slight design flaw with the lids and the handles on the big pot. The lids are glass and the handles on the lids are a bit too close to the covers' surfaces. The soup pot handles are very close to the metal. The handles don't get hot, but they're really close to the hot metal of the pot and glass in the lids. As a matter of safety, I always use pot holders, because I'd prefer not to burn my knuckles. But you have nothing to worry about with the saucepans and the skillets.Hope this helps!

I've been using this set for over a year now, and the handles haven't gotten hot. I don't grab them down by the base, but I have used the big pot to cook things assembly-line style, and have never had a problem. I really love these pots.

I haven't had any problems with the pot handles getting hot. The lid handles are cool touch on the underside of the handle however the tops are not so they can heat up. If you lift the lids from under the handles its fine.

They become hot when left over direct heat. Since I am the principle cook I really enjoy cooking with the set. I do use pot holders because my ceramic cooktop distributes the heat and the handles do become "warm". With that said, I am often using three burners at the same time.

Absolutely NOT!!! These handles were made to stay even temp. The only way they would be HOT would be to have the other burner on and the handle over it!

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

Since I only use these on the stove top, on an electric stove, I've not noticed that the handles get hot at all. I pick them right up without a problem or a potholder. The handles are nice and long, so it hasn't been an issue. Hope this helps.

I did not have a problem with hot handles, but beware of the thin metal of the pan. I have found that things burn and stick easily.

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

Yes. It does get super hot on the handles. It is not a big problem to me, since I am used to scooping up the stuff from the wok into the dishes while it is still on stove. If I need to touch the handle, I usually use a kitchen cloth as a layer to protect hands from the heat. Again, I did not find it a big bother, it is the most common style of wok I saw people use when I grew up in China.

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.

They are cast iron, meaning it's all one molded iron wok. Yes, the handles do get hot and take a while to cool down.Always wear oven gloves or a hot mitt when positioning the hot wok. Overall I like my wok, you can't take it away from me!Hope this helps...Jerry

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.
