Does the handle get very hot?

Yes, it can. I use mine on a gas stove daily to boil water and I need to use a pot holder to move it.

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!!

I have not noticed it getting unusually hot. I really like this pan. It seems easier to clean then my other stainless pots (we only use stainless steel to avoid toxic non-stick coatings). Lid fits great too.

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.

Like someone already pointed out, handle stays cool, but the cover -- if used -- does get hot!

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

I agree with Isabella. While it does get warm, provided you keep the handle straight up it does not get too hot to pick up if you don't use a potholder. I also use mine on a cast iron wood stove and have never had a problem.

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

The handle gets hot; however, I enjoy the kettle so much that using a hot pad is not a problem.

The lid and handles do get hot since they are metal. As long as you use pot holders or oven mitts it's fine.

No. The handle stays cool enough. Usually not cooking at very high temperature with this non stick grill pan.

Yes, the handle gets hot. I don't know why it doesn't actually get as hot as I expected it would, but it does get hot enough to burn you if used over an extended period of time. Crepes are not prepared at a very high temperature, so I haven't counted it as a negative, but I do have little slip-on pot holder sleeves that fit over the handles of many of my pans - and keep them near when using this one. I really love this pan. Hope this helps!

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

I have never had a problem with the handle becoming too hot while simmering for any amount of time on the stovetop.

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.

Not in my experience. The pan and handle are big enough that the heat dissipates before getting to the handle.

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.

yes, the handle gets a little hot when you have it in for a long time, but just be careful when removing it. I heat it in the microwave every so often.

Yes, the handle black part always gets super hot. I have been using this product for over 5 years and i love it. Just be careful w handle. I usually take little breaks in between so it wont get too hot.
